Am I perfect? No. Have I've been making progress? Yes. I am again ready for bed and reflecting on the day. I did not purge today, I ate when I was hungry throughout the day, and overate this evening. So it goes, I am not perfect but the progress is undeniable. I was so deep into the nightly bulimia rituals, now with days and days between myself and those behaviors I am proud. Yes progress over perfection!
Thank you all for being out there.

good for you... it's okay to not be perfect... let your body have that extra food. I don't have an ED... but i have a feeling that as with other addictive behaviors the more we let go and accept ourselves and feel whatever we are going to feel without giving in to our self-medicating, you will realize you CAN handle it and you WILL be okay, and that will encourage you to keep healing. proud of you... you should be too.

I was about to do something awesome again, but I told myself, "Enough is enough! That's plenty of awesome for one day."
