Today was a win for harm reduction

….but dreading tomorrow’s backlash.

I ate a healthy breakfast before 9am. I replaced coffee with water (all day). I took my iron even though I hate the constipation. I ate a bit of real meat at dinner. And I didn’t purge (despite thinking about it).

It sounds so simple and basic but it’s been tough to endure. There’s guilt and fear of the changes I’ll surely see tomorrow. Why does self-care feel so wrong? Like I’m helping someone who can’t be saved/doesn’t really want it …..Cue the self-defeating thoughts and panic…

I still did good today, so a win for now.
