Dear Rosie: Week 3 - I am so proud of you
All of these are massive achievements for you and they all mean so much to you. Especially the fact that you haven't purged in 2 weeks! And that you haven't self harmed in a month! I never thought I would ever be able to stop purging. Coming from the lows of purging over 12 times a day to being free from it for 2 weeks is huge. My therapist told me I would never stop and that I would be on waiting lists for inpatient almost straight away. But no look at me! I have no care team behind me, and I've been 2 weeks free from purging. Then with the self harm I've been free for a month and that makes me smile so much!! There is no point self destructing your body to inflict punishment on yourself. I have taken small steps to love myself and that comes with not self harming. I've been free from binging for 11 days now and that is a massive achievement dn its really amazing how far I've come with bingeing words cannot describe it. SO many people have had no faith in me, people told me "I wasn't rosie anymore I was purely an eating disorder" or "there is nothing more we can do" well look at me now. I know to some my achievements might be nothing but these are huge for me and I feel stronger than ever and I will win this fight against my eating disorder I will will win.
