HI! sorry i havent posted since thanksgiving, omggg!! i can explain haha i work at Saks Fifth Avenue and im sure as you know retail this time of year is INSANE. ive been putting in lotsss of hours which is tiring but totally worth the $$ haha soo ill jus do a short re-cap of whats happened in my life and then get on to whats new! well i went to the doctor 2 weeks ago and my weight had basically plateaued on 2500 calories! so they upped me to 2700.. ive been struggling so much with that amount, not going to lie. i just feel like its soo much food when im still drinking so many of my calories, idk what else i can do! but i anyways.. i gave myself a little early xmas gift haha i loveee these jeans, i got them for like half off with my employee discount on black friday!

so now for whats been going on lately. today i went to my T and she was really helpful. she asked if i would come speak to a group at the recovery center for parents of girls with ED's! i would absolutely loveee to do that. i want to help anyone going through this i know how hard it is and i want people to know there is hope! even though i still have some way to go im doing much muchhh better than i was before. its just time to move on with life!

thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving!
so today my mom isn't feeling well and wanted me to stay home with her. we usually go to my grandmas house for a FEAST of food. i was a little anxious thinking about it to be honest, so staying home was kinda relaxing. it's probably best for my recovery too, one day of restricting could throw me off and we dont want that after all this hard work! but anywayss... celebrated thanksgiving with a breakie feast (which i have everyday) lol so not so speacial... but i did add a pumpkin milkshake! no pic..sorry friends.
Breakfast Feast. (mom took this picture, she loves seeing me eat this much :))

The rest of the day was pretty lazy... my mom and i watched the notebook because she has never seen it before. She cried at the end which I felt bad about because I've seen it so many times it doesn't really affect me anymore. But i gave her a big hug and she felt better! Love that movie though. All about being in love. One day, one day....

So we got a new rabbit, SCOOTER! love this thing... it's so adorable. It's potty trained, can you believe that?? And when i come in my room it runs to the edge of the cage and greets me like a little puppy. It's my love.


My mom has been such a great help with my ED recovery.. she is there through everything and believes in me so much. She got me this ring the other day, it says HOPE.

I guess if there was only ONE thing i could be thankful for today, it would be her. She is my best friend right now. She doesnt always understand what Im going through but she's there to listen. I havent had that much trouble with getting my 2500 calories today since I know it's the right thing to do and would feel kindof guilty from staying home from grandmas and not reaching the goal. I can't wait for ED to be over..

Happy thanksgiving everyone once again :) i hope you enjoyed the day.

XOXO, Amy

New.

So this is me.
Hi, im new to the blog world. I've been reading some peoples blogs for inspirational reasons for the past couple weeks and have finally decided that blogging might be the best medication for all the emotion and thoughts that I have. I hope I can make some friends feel free to follow me! i love meeting new people, especially positive ones that will be beneficial in my recovery from an obsessive healthy eating disorder that developed into full on anorexia. I am now in recovery and can use an bit of encouragment there is out there!
