Some days are worse than others but that doesn't matter, what really matters is that you lift yourself back up again. Recovery is not a straight line and there will be many ups and downs but the end result is always worth it. Everyone has relapses and its part of recovery but what you need to remember is that they will always make you stronger. Relapses teach us things that we need to carry with us so we don't make the same mistakes again.
Lifting yourself up, carrying on, getting through the day and eating that meal may take every bit of strength you have but it will get easier, I promise. Just make sure you have some sort of support like family, friends or a counsellor because you will need someone to talk to through all of this and to help you when you want to quit.
I am currently have to use all my strength to get through the day and to eat and to be honest its exhausting but I know I have to keep going for myself, for my family, for my friends, for my happiness and for my future.

First Post And Reasons To Recover
So I decided to create a blog to help and inspire people recovering from an eating disorder. I am currently in recovery myself and have been for nearly a year and a half now. I wanted to use the knowledge I have collected over this time to help others because I know how much of a struggle it is.
I thought I'd write some reasons to recover that are important to me.
1. Just purely to have my thoughts free of numbers and food
2. So I can enjoy the time with my friends and not be worried and sad
3. So I can spend time with my family and not live in my bedroom
4. So I can meet new people and go on adventures instead of crying about pizza.
5. So I can make my friends proud instead of worrying them.
6. So I have enough energy to do the things I love
7. So I can enjoy food again and not think of it as a chore
8. So that the good days eventually out way the bad days
9. So that I can wear the clothes I want and feel amazing
10. So that I can love my body instead of destroying it
11. So I can live! Travel the world, meet new people, learn new things, swim in the ocean, watch the sunset, accomplish your dreams.
Sorry this was short but there is more coming. Please comment anything you want me to write about and remember to stay strong because it's totally worth it.
Lots of love,
