So I have been out of the hospital for about 1 1/2 weeks now and I have been doing great: vitals are good, I'm happier, very little guilt about eating and calories didn't scare me at all. For the first whole week I was on a roll. But now it seems to be gradually coming back.
For the past few days I've been having more and more ED-related thoughts, stronger thoughts, like I used to. I'm having more instances where I have fat attacks, want to skip meals, start restricting again, run and exercise and burn calories, the whole nine yards. Luckily I have been able to control and ignore them, but I'm finding they're bothering me more frequently and they are stronger again.The doctor accidentally let slip my weight today, which is higher than I'd expected. I don't want to fall back again... but why are these thoughts returning, and why are they still a nuisance to me? I should be getting better, right?!

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
I'm trying my very best... I know I will do it. It's just a tad harder at the moment.
Your thoughts are completely normal but don't let them win. Scream at ED that you won't listen to him after all the success you had. On the days when you don't have your meetings call some of the people in your group. I'm sure they are all going through the same thing.
Stay strong. You can do it.
