Have a family day out

Have you noticed your relationship with your friends and family getting worse and worse as your eating disorder gets worse? I realised i was shutting everybody out and secluding myself more and more, because having a social life meant having to eat. It's so sad that i chose the wrong option all the time.
Ever since starting recovery i have become so much closer to all the people i love again :) i don't feel tense about having to go to my dads house anymore and now always look forward to it, but before i used to feel genuine fear because he always cooks heavy carb/fat loaded meals, now i have seconds! ;)
I love going on family days out now too :) on sundays i really enjoy going for walks with my funny little brothers and my family then go for a good ol' pub lunch afterwards...i have realised its so much easier to cope with recovery when you realise what actually important in life and you try to enjoy all the normal activitys that all your family do with ease, such as eating well!!
Maybe try suggesting a nice day out to a nice village, or shopping centre or even the beach! (not if you live where i live though, too cold lol)
Give it a go, it might give you that realisation it gave me, and bring you and your family back together :) xxxx
