Well yesterday i got offered to play ice hockey for scotland, which is great, and i thought to myself, 'i need to be fit and healthy for this' .. how long did it last? One day. Great!

I hate using this because it sounds so stupid, but the first thing they always told us in treatment, that there will be ups and downs, but it's how you pick yourself up from it. Of course something so enmeshed in your life is going to creep into your mind, but you have to pull yourself away and move on.
I'm not saying that Im a saint because anyone that knows me sees that everyday Im doing something disordered but there was a time in my life when I could battle with it and not act on any behaviors

There will be slips along the way, and what can be more natural than slipping on the first day, which is the hardest?
Also, even though i am fighting the most obvious ED behaviors now, and seem to be quite successful at that so far, the sympthoms like purging (in my case) are only the top of the iceberg. What i mean is that my thoughts, my attitude towards food, my anxieties and worries are still the same. A huge percentage of recovery happens in our head. So just dont worry about mistakes and concentrate on your thoughts about wanting to get better!
