Thank you everyone for your love and support. I do really appreciate it.

And Alina, darling I completely understand your feelings about treatment centres but their not all bad and its really short term pain for long term gain. I'm not going to lecture but Im glad my journey can inspire you.

Thank you RoxyRuby, you raised some really interesting points, Im going to work through those this weekend and let you know all how I go.

And KB, thank you for the reminder. I often forgot Im not my thoughts and get lost in the obsessions which never leads anywhere good.

Well I'll check in a couple of times a week and let you all know how Im progressing and keep accountable. Ahh Im a therapists dream!! =p

I have had a successful week this week. Thank you everyone for your support, it really made a huge difference.

I haven't been to Woolworths yet!! The staff must be wondering whats happened to me? They all know me by name and interest there....

I've been practising meditation and the interesting thing is I found at the core of the illness for me was anxiety. If i don't do x - Im going to: starve later, be hungry later, be vulnerable or get really fat.
I have just been sitting with the feelings instead of blocking them with the Ed which is really good.

And despite great anxiety I have been following my meal plan roughly. And of course walking my super lazy minature dashund scooter and going to the gym. The only one not enjoying the exersize is scooter who hides when he sees the leash and growls....the vet explained his just lazy!!!

Virtual hugs and postive vibes xxxxx
