Changed my life- my path towards recovery

Two days ago, I made a huge leap of faith and jumped a huge hurdle in my recovery from anorexia. I had been having urges to eat bowls of cereal (for some reason, always cereal!) for the past few days because I was really hungry, but each time my ED had overpowered me. But on Thursday, I overcame it and ate three huge bowls of cereal! And if I hadn't done that, I know that I would have been in hospital by now.

Last week I had lost over 1 kg from my previous weight, which was 39 kg. I had gone down to about 37, placing my BMI at about 13/13.5. I've only just realised how close I was to being hospitalized- it was really close, could have been this week...

But want I really want to say is that now, for the past two days, I have found eating so much easier. Making that first huge step was a bit scary, but once you do it, it is so much easier to keep recovery in mind. And the people supporting you will help you with this, I promise.

Basically, I just want to keep reminding you that recovery is possible and that it does feel amazing to be able to eat however much cereal you want at breakfast time :) Good luck everyone :)
