RE the small steps

Quote From: dboyle

 

Unfortunately after 28 years I still struggle daily with Bulimia.  Some days I do not binge at all but will still purge after a very normal small meal.  Some days I will binge 5 or 6 times and purge 40 or 50 times.  I know that sounds like a lot, but compared to 10 years ago I have jumped leaps and bounds.  I have been able to gain 20 pounds and I am no longer considered anorexic.  Most days I am OK with eating certain foods and keep it down.  I have been through at least 6 eating disorder programs all of which have helped me in small steps but none which have helped me completely.  I know why I still struggle with my eating disorder I have discovered that through counseling and hope to some day say that I am a recovered Bulimic.

I get what you're saying. We all know that the small steps eventually add up to positive momentum. While success is never a straight line, you are also choosing to bless others with sharing some of what you have learned while you are recovering.  I respect your courage and will be grateful for your continued progress on the journey.
