Anybody down to start this up? By having someone to check in with on a daily basis, I think I'll be more inclined to ACTUALLY start making changes and taking this seriously. I know I'm in the right frame of mind now, but I really wanna do this right this time. My number's on my page (I'm in Canada). I'm switching phones this week cos my texts sometimes get screwed up. But I am on Facebook religiously so please do not hesitate at all to add me.

If you're as sick and effing tired of this as I am, let's do this and hold each other to it!

Love you all

Went on my first beach trip where I didn't starve myself the week before. I'm still a little self-conscious, but my new life in recovery is a bazillion times better!!

Sounds like awesome motivation- can we just check in on here though? We can post on each others pages. Im not sure how my cell would bill an out of country call or text.
Would anyone want to be my accountability friend on here?

I agree. I could check here most evenings. It would be good to have someone to tell if I have a good day, who appreciates JUST HOW HARD IT IS. and who will totally 100% understand if I relapse. Just knowing that there is someone to talk to/email makes such a difference.

Definitely!

I think there are many times where I'm far more inclined to jump on facebook and not on here- My thinking is that if we have recovery everywhere (fb, msn, texts, etc.) it'll be more a part of our lives and harder to try and dodge the bullet on. I know myself well enough, and having to be accountable on a higher level will make me more apt to be responsible and stay on the right track. Whatever works for you gals- we could even designate this thread as a check in?

and if that's the case...

this morning I attempted my bran cereal and ended up going crazy, and adding 3 more bowls to the equation, and then... well, yeah. The feeling of having stuff other than safe foods in my stomach makes me anxious.

Afternoon, I was gonna try and shit out and just drink tea, but thanks to Tierney (my lifesaver) I went to my car and got my lunch.

After school I normally would just go all out and binge like a mofo but I went for a walk, journaled some thoughts and got in touch /w my counselor. But I was still trying to avoid dinner and then just eventually ended up binging. BUT! This binge was significantly smaller than any other binge I've had and I was able to stop going, all though I did purge :( Still, there was success in the day. And for that, I'm stoked!

Hope all you gals had a good day too. Love you all!

is there a way to set up a chat room?

I'm not so great at this tech stuff...but a night time chat room would work for me....I can't access FB at work, plus my work is REALLY crazy right now.

Be the change you wish to see in this world.

Feel free to ad me! And thanks to those who already have, it's been so amazing having contact with you guys/girls that goes above and beyond :) Sorry that I haven't replied to everyone, I'm being bitch slapped with 6 exams in the next 4 days- so I will do my best in the meantime to keep in touch and get back to you.
