I had TWO good days!
I was in a hotel, had tons of food available whenever I wanted it...
Stupid palliative care thing, everyone was forcing food on me it seemed.
BUT, I didn't binge, didn't purge. Had my protein, etc etc...
Binged today :( :( :(
But now, I have an issue....
Tomorrow is my school's fast for freedom. Ana wants me to fast, but the thing is that I always end up binging afterwards for weeks. Literally.
I already gave in my forms saying I'll be there, my friends will ask questions if I don't go...
I'm so wanting to do more than 2 good days, so I don't know what to do! The fast includes sleeping over at school. Everyone from grades 9-12 goes.
What should I do?

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...
Don't go to the fast!!! You know what it will do to you and if you know you can't fight ED on this one don't even take the chance. Do your friends know about your ED. If they do they should understand and not even expect you to be there. If they don't know make up an excuse. It wouln't even be a lie but a lifesaver. You need to think about your health. Once you're healthy think of how much good you can do.
Your health, your sanity - come way before this particular commitment.
I get that it is a tough call. People expect you, questions will be asked...
But people will stop asking questions after a couple of days. And you'll still be binging for weeks.
Don't let the expectations of others, or even your perceived expectations that others have FOR you, to get in the way of your recovery. You are too important.
I'm so torn! It's basically just a huge party and people bring guitar hero and watch movies in the aud and stuff...
It'll suck if I don't go, but it'll suck if I do...
