Hi guys this is my first post. I've had anorexia for four years but have only been in volountarily in recovery for the past two and a half weeks. Anyway I realy want to get better and get healthy so I'm determined to beat Anna. I just had my dinner and it was so tough, I shook a lot and cried but I finally finished. I guess I'm frustrated because I should feel proud and I don't, I want to be proud and happy that I won such a monsterously hard battle but I don't I just feel weak and beaten down, like if that was so hard what's the point in trying.

Hi I'm a sufferer too and have been trying to recover for about a year now. The meal times that really get you down are especially tough but you just have to remember that your upset and emotional feelings are just Anna bombarding you with all this because you are trying really hard. It may sound a bit confusing but the crying and guiltyness is all part of the recovery and it's a good sign because it means that the old, healthy you is breaking through, keep strong :)

when i first started in recovery, I had so many tough meals, and remember being so upset sometimes, crying in restuarants ect. But it does get easier, I still have challenging meals now where inside i feel like throwing down my knife and fork and running, and become both incredibly angry and upset with myself, others and the whole situation. But-these emotions do pass, and every challenge you overcome is one step closer, even if it feels like 2 steps back. well done-please keep going!
