I forgot to mention…
I visited Plymouth the weekend before last and … wait for it …
I DIDN’T BINGE.
Nope. I stayed by myself, had a couple of hours in which to binge and I didn’t. I even bough an orange. Fruit! When I could have had Maltesers, Chocolate Buttons, croissants, M&Ms, Minstrels, sandwiches, popcorn, crisps, Galaxy chocolate, Dairy Milk chocolate, Wispas… you get the picture.
I got a box of 6 croissants – that’s the least number of croissants I could have bought – for breakfast. Obviously I didn’t have all 6 and I took a couple home with me. My friend who stayed in Plymouth as well and knows of my problem said she’d better not find me in a croissant coma, with bits of pastry round my mouth and an empty box full next to me.
She didn’t.
And so to celebrate, here is how I would have reacted if I did binge and she’d knocked on my door:

Ah the endless joy of Eating Disorder memes.

I’m so proud of you!!!! Isn’t it wonderful when you realise that you can put all that hard work into real life and it works

This is the meme that probably would have been me once http://memeblender.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/oh-god-why-meme-eat-all-the-food.png (love these memes
Keep on fighting! You are making real progress and I hope that this shows you that although it’s been so hard, and you were thinking sometimes you weren’t getting anywhere, you ARE and it’s worth it xxx
That’s a brilliant meme! I do feel like i’m getting somewhere, learning new things everyday. Some are not fun to learn though haha

I love ED memes too – I’m not witty enough to create one myself but when I read them they’re all spot on.
Huge congrats for making it through the trip without bingeing
That’s another great achievement to notch up – if you had a star chart you’d be in the middle of a galaxy (not Galaxy hehe) by now.

I always have ideas for them and then forget them

I laughed, I’m sorry, Emma! This is a happy post so I’m aloud, aren’t I?
You’re doing so great! You should be proud! One step, one meal at a time and you’ll get there. And those cartoons are amazing! Please keep posting them!
