Honestly, your attitude about the meal plan, and outlook in general seems to be really positive. I immediately disregarded the idea of a meal plan (3 years ago), and dropped all outpatient/meds, which made stuff much harder, so keep up the good work. You're beautiful!
You know, I did that too. For years. (Disregarded the meal plans I was given). I think this is the first time I've ever managed to follow one outside of a treatment center. It's really been helpful now that I've stuck with it, though, and I wonder why I didn't trust it sooner.
About the scenery - I know. Sometimes I look out there and have momentarily forgotten that I literally live in the middle of downtown oakland, and it's so awesome. I love it.
Can you find people in your life or people you look up to in general, who have healthy bodies and healthy body images? It's a huge help for me to know that if my sister can eat normally and eat what she wants and be happy and be healthy all at the same time, then I CAN TOO. And an eating disorder has no space in her life, and it has no place in mine. You CANNOT allow ANY ed thoughts in. bc you just know it's a fucking parasite and will take over. You're strong :)
God, you are so right. I do have some amazing role models actually - I'm lucky in that respect. Thank you! It's so nice to connect with other recovering people. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the encouragement.
i love you sweetie! keep on keeping on! take it easy. keep it simple. you can get through this!

Just sending a little good karma.
