some days i can go from being depressed to a complete state of joy, within the same hour. i have no idea why that is, but at least i can look forward to being happy at least once a day, instead of being stuck in a pit of depression for weeks like i used to feel.

food wise, i guess i'm still in "recovery" mode. i am eating plenty of calories, probably more than i need, and my weight has plateaued at about 15-17 pounds heavier than when i started recovery. i'm not going to lie and say that after nearly two months of recovery i suddenly love food, love my body, etc. i dread every meal, still count calories (though they add up to quadruple digits for the first time in a year), and i can't stand my body. luckily though, my ed no longer consumes my life. sure, i count calories, but i can also have a managable social life and i am learning to enjoy the activities i gave up when my eating disorder began. i am just anxious to know when the self confidence begins and when i will love my body. come faster!

Hey,

thanks for posting this. It's very realistic and positive. Recovery can be up and down but it seems like you are definately going in the right direction. I also wonder when the confidence comes and when I'll love my body. I can say though that I haven't hated it as much as usual this week, so maybe it's just something that happens so slowly. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened so slowly that you barely realised that it was happening.

Take care,
