No Regrets

The title to this post may seem strange, but hear me out! I am not saying that i am happy with myself for having an eating disorder, being a complete bi*ch to my family, almost killing myself and destroying my relationship...HOWEVER it has taught me so much about myself, food, diet and life in general! I have also met so many incredible people along the way, people who have gone through/ going through eating disorders themselves but have still managed to support and guide me through my worst days, i honestly couldn't have done it without them, and in return they have told me that having conversations with me has helped them too, which makes me feel so much stronger and better about myself :D I honestly think a big part of recovery is regaining confidence again, you need to be very confident in yourself to be able to be confident in your new body.
I have recently come across a new friend (woop!) and she too has suffered from anorexia, she has a great blog (link here > http://misswonderfulhere.wordpress.com/) which is very similar to mine, in that it talks about her day to day life wit recovery and good ol' chit chat too! I was sooo pleased and proud to read her post about the gorgeous galaxy cookie crumble, she took my advice and bought her favourite chocolate bar - a HUGE step, especially to those who forbid themselves chocolate all together! Well done to her for taking that step forward!! I must admit i too have a couple of ripples stashed away in my room waiting to be eaten, i deprived mself from chocolate for so lon i have got used to not eating it, and don't crave it very often, i'm much more of a savoury person (hide the cheese!) but i love that they are always there if i want them hehe!
I love meeting and talking to new people and being so open about what i and they have been through, so in that respect i have no regrets :)
