I got my sticker!

I was contemplating putting this in the Hospital forum, since it's about weight, but I ended up putting it here because it's ED related... feel free to move it.

Well, here's a cheery post in the psych ward! =P

I got my first sticker last weekend! (I get stickers for weight gain and for keeping it on...) So, I gained five pounds and haven't lost any of it, though I've had one or two slow weeks... It's been seven weeks since I started this. Not my preferred progress rate, but it's progress.

I still don't know how much five pounds is, if anyone would like to give me an idea of that in kilograms?? (I moved to the US three months ago and I'm not quite savvy with it). But, nonetheless, I've got a sticker! =P

I'm feeling quite amazing actually. I feel fat as hell, but I've gotten my energy back. It's weird how used to that state I was. When I started to feel this energetic, I thought someone had slipped high doses of caffeine into my meal. But I've been feeling like this for two weeks. :P

And also, my dad's taking me (and Jay and a friend of mine) backpacking. He hasn't taken me in eight years. I guess he thinks I am healthy enough for it again. We're leaving tomorrow :)

This is fine for the ED forum :)
Making yourself eat is hard and you reall are doing well. I'm sure your not fat, your probabaly the opposite so keep going. Think of all the things you can do now you have your energy back and hopefully this will help you not to relapse. Keep going, good luck :)

:O Well done!
it's always nice to have a possitive thread in the psych ward, it helps people realise that there is hope after all.

Now you can do so much stuff with that energy you're giving yourself, you can go do sport for longer, or do anything you want to do that you couldn't do without the energy. I'm sure it was hard to get to where you are now, but I think we can see it was worth it. Keep going, and soon you'll be completely over it.

Well done! :hug:

Eek, thanks all :D :hug:

Well, backpacking didn't go as well as I planned, but I did about one or two miles before I actually fainted (lol, whoops). But it made me feel good about myself. Though my body hurts like hell now... I've still got the pride.

I've got more to me now, but then I have very little muscle. I haven't really been able to do much till the last few weeks.

And people have started to notice too ;) I don't think I'd be pretty far if it wasn't for my fiancé, who I've caught repeatedly gawking at me (heheh. It really helps my confidence). Without his opinion it would be just me and the mirror everyday.
