    Default Sharing Experience

    Hey Guys! I just wanted to share an experience of mine, the reason why I haven't been on for the last couple of days. I don't know if anyone else does, but I totally panic I'm going to get a sick bug regardless of how I feel, so for instance this week, I started with a sore throat and cold came on shortly after, and I completely panicked! anyway, besides the point, felt fine (As fine as you feel on a cold) and I was eating alright. Anyway, the first night I started to feel a bit s*, but I ignored it. I then got a wave - You know that wave of n* when you can feel your tummy spasm to push up whatever is in there. I totally panicked and vowed not to eat ANYTHING until I was sure I wouldn't v*. However, this is how I lost my 2 and a half stone and nearly ended up in hospital last time, so when my Mum presented me with a pasta bolognaise and a couple of slives of bread... I gave it a go. I totally had to talk to myself through the first few bits, as I started to sweat and shake and cry, but I had to remember that food is a survival, not something to hurt me. I'm so proud I was brvae enough to eat a meal whilst I felt so n* and anxious, and I felt better for it actually I'm still suffering with the cold but no n* ever since or v* throughtout the whole experience!! I know it sounds stupid but it's such a big thing for me to have eaten that meal, I just wanted to share xxx

    Bless your hearts guys, it's so strange to have people who actually understand. Anyone else have troubles with family and friends not understanding? xxx
