Long time no see

Well its been one year and one month since I wrote on this thing so I thought a wee update was in order!
Things have been good for me this past year. I'm not really sure how it happened, but I gained a little confidence in myself for the first time in I can't remember how long.  I met a great new friend who I now live with in a really great flat, and in May I met a boy. I now love this boy and as cliched as it sounds, he has made me feel so much better about myself. ED has become a background voice in my head, it is no longer the main thing in my thoughts. With everything I eat there are still twinges of panic/guilt/fear, but brushing them aside and looking at the bigger picture has become so much easier. Life is definitely not perfect, there are always going to be issues of some kind, but i'm getting better at appreciating what is good.
I'm going to try and come on this more. Sorry to everyone i've lost touch with, hopefully some of my old DS friends are still out there. And if anyone still reads this journal, I hope you are well.
