I mean, do you hear yourself?! You just described and included "not restricting" as a somewhat baseline, absolute minimum for yourself! As if it's just such a given that you won't allow yourself to restrict that restriction wouldn't even be an option. Like not restricting is just an "of course" sort of thing now - even for the hardest of days. that is SO cool!!! You would not have been able to write something like that before :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697957718424745938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957758174408171291.post-86191892051243930192012-04-09T21:27:51.234-06:002012-04-09T21:27:51.234-06:00Yeah, the first one in the series is the least eng...Yeah, the first one in the series is the least engaging, which is unfortunate. I'd still highly recommend them, and I was totally hooked by the end of the 2nd book. The 4th is absolutely my fave. The 5-7th are really distinctive from the first 4, in terms of style, mostly because King almost died after being hit by a car and it seemed to really throw him for a loop; that comes out in the books. He got scared that he hadn't finished what he considered to be his magnum opus yet, and churned the last 3 books out in less than 2 years. Anyway, have you read 'On Writing' yet? It's a fantastic mix of autobiography and writing advice, very different from his other work but I loved it.Cammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181004571609998125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957758174408171291.post-46891585594034453882012-04-09T20:59:00.922-06:002012-04-09T20:59:00.922-06:00Cammy, confession: I read the first DT, and couldn...Cammy, confession: I read the first DT, and couldn't finish the second. :( should I give it another go?<br /><br />Haley, I'm not really joking when I say you and Jonny should come with us!<br /><br />CH, thanks for your support.

I agree. I think that in recovery, if there are days that are extra challenging to you, it's okay to not feel your best, but to keep focused on recovery, and not restrict/purge/whatever your behavior of choice may be.I think that is the very essence of recovery - wanting to be back in a place where the ED is "safe" and "comforting", but knowing it really isn't, and to stick to the recovery thing.<br /><br />I'm glad today is better than Thursday and Friday :)<br /><br />I'm so excited for you guys, for the trip! :)CHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08142932059252908056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957758174408171291.post-36814601127896106822012-04-09T18:46:42.477-06:002012-04-09T18:46:42.477-06:00Sounds like a blast!
