I commit to sharing my snacks when appropriate, specifically, I will offer if anyone wants some of what I am having.
I commit to only having 2 peices of fruit a day in the morning and not eating cheese and crackers or fruit in the evening.

I feel to scared to look back at my past history with the ED. I recognise how far I have come from where I was a few years ago but looking back in detail lures me in and Im not strong enough to fight that yet. I recognise the effort that I am making and thats what counts.
BFE,

I know little about specifics of your ED, so I wonder what is your rational for limiting fruit to only two pieces a day? Fruit is an EXCELLENT food source, it's filling, it has low caloric density, it has a lot of fiber, etc. The daily limit for fructose is around ~50g which translates to roughly 10 apples. Unless one magically substitutes all of the fruit with vegetables, severe fruit restriction won't improve the nutrition.

I had a friend who had bulimia and much of what you right reminds me of her. It's a pleasure to see your progress.
