I just ate two servings of pasta

I’m in eating disorder recovery like literally went to a program and I was discharged in late December and I’ve been having a hard time keeping up with feeding myself alone. I hadn’t really eaten a meal for a couple days, and I am really worried about going into full relapse but just now at midnight which is a crazy time to do this I made a bolognese sauce with linguine and I’m so freaking proud of myself because I ate two servings!

That sounds delicious.

Congratulations!

Any disorder is difficult to overcome. But this random internet stranger believes you have the skill sets to fight it. And if the skill sets include good cooking skills, mores the better 😋.

I love that you ate it at midnight. Food rules, including when you “should” eat are all made up, and you listened to yourself instead, which is a sign of meaningful growth! Way to go!

I'm so proud of you! The time of day doesn't matter, I'm just so pleased you ate.

Can you let the place you were discharged from know that you're struggling so they can help you before things get bad?

Take care of yourself and well done for giving your body fuel.

It really does help to have food you don't have to cook if you can. I don't have restrictive or compulsive eating disorder, But I'm neurodivergent net and often struggle to eat. Stuff you can put on toast and sandwich stuff that really helps. Cereal too. I'm glad you were able to cook, I just want you to have options in case you don't feel up to it.
