I know, I know. It's been ages - I'm crap. But at least there is a good reason for it. I started on the day-patient programme at Cotswold House 3 weeks ago (God is it really that long?) and to be quite honest, at the end of a day there thinking about me me me, the last thing I want to do when I get home is update my blog.
But I have to say, it is not half as bad as I had feared. Yes, it is hard and much of it is not pleasant at all, but the staff and other inmates make it a whole lot easier. The difference between this place and the Priory is incredible. I really feel they know what they are doing and feel that I can trust them even when everything inside me is fighting doing it.
I go for 4 days a week from 8am to 4pm and the aim is to gain a pound a week. So far I have put on 0.4kg but it is weigh-day tomorrow so watch this space...

First of all, youre not crap! I am glad to hear you are getting some professional help. It takes an incredible amount of courage to reach out for the help you need. Trust those who are trying to help you, even when the AN is fighting against it. The more cornered the AN feels, the more uncomfortable it may feel to you - but you can overcome. All the best - CM
well done lizzie! Slowly but surely you are getting there! Joining the day program was a very smart move, please stick with it!!! Just look at what you have achieved, from a very, very low weight you managed to gain a significant, albeit small, weight on your own, and when you stopped making progress you had the good sense to reach out for help. You are really managing this like someone who knows how to beat it, and I feel sure there is no stopping you now.
