Ugh :(

The thought of food is making me sick at the mo and I just had to get through a massive dinner my mum made and I felt like I was going to be sick with every mouthful. I didnt eat very much and got a look of disapproval when I pushed my plate away. Its easier when I'm staying at mine because I only have to eat when I can face it. I wish food wasnt the enemy. I long for the day when I can just eat and not think about how much I hate it.

you WILL get to the day when you can just eat. I promise you! We just have to take baby steps to get there. Dont think about the looks you get. Think - "you know what? I did eat something, and that is better than nothing. Next time I will try to eat a little more"

you ate! how proud!
You sat there and did what your body needed, not what made your EATING DISORDER comfortable, it made that part of you really uncomfortable, because it knows it's LOSING you.
AND the real you is winning.
how happy.
Stay strong. You are so strong!

I know how you feel. I'm having an extremely hard time when I have to eat among people. I always think that they will see me at bad anorexic because they think anorexics don't eat at all. But I still eat some just like you did. You did really well and don't worry about your Mom's look. Next time tell her that's all you can do and if she can't accept it you won't be eating over there anymore.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
