Just want to say how proud of my daughter I am tonight, having been diagnosed with bulimia last year and refusing to eat at school or infront of anyone else, she tonight went out with a friend to a restaurant and had a meal.

Just to put all this into prospective, she is 13 and doesn't even go into a mcdonalds or go anywhere with friends that would involve going into somewhere to eat.

I am sat here so proud of her, with the biggest lump in my throat, I really see this as massive step in the right direction. I know it probably won't mean much to anyone one else, but to me I just can't explain the feeling.

sorry for going on.

I'd be proud to, well done to the young lady.:clap:
 
That's great news Dave

I have experience of eating disorders myself so know how hard things can be
 
Yay give her a hug from us all and tell her how proud we are.

I've never been involved in eating disorders but I've been involved in alchoholism. Lost my Brother to drink at 51 and nearly my Mum to the same demon.

Every time I see my Mum now I tell her how proud I am that she's beaten the demon so I know where your coming from.

One day at a time as the saying goes. Small goals from huge challenges are worth every savouring moment.

Congrats to the youngster, she took a giant leap on that road called recovery.
 
Dave hi, it will mean a lot to others on here, we all have Demons that maybe we dont mention but fully understand what you are going through. Whether you mention it or not is a personal thing and if it helps you and your daughter the its the right thing to do. She's done well, as Yvonne says there may be some backwards steps but so long as its two forward and one back its going the right way.

While I like to think I do eat well, I cannot abide eating in resturants and cafes. I get very uncomfortable and then start to feel "icky", in fact MacDonalds are the worst due to it's "chav" thing about it, it just seen to "wind me up!".
The only other person who I can eat in the same room with is mother, so about your daughter I'd say that is a great achievement.

Good work!
 
I'm really pleased for you, when our children hurt, we hurt - so each step towards recovery she makes, is healing for both of you.

I'm sorry she has been through this - but reading about this huge step she has take put a smile on my face - thanks for posting it x
 
As a parent, I feel your pain and share your joy
Nice of you to share, I hope the responses help bring you both strength and hope
 
Well done her can't have been easy and thank you for sharing.
 
That's great news Dave, i hope things continue in the right direction.
 
So many things adversely affecting our young ones today, so glad you can see her take a step forward out of her problem :thumbs:
 
Wow, thanks for all the responses, as you all say, a step on the right direction, it is definitely heart wenching to see someone go through this, particulary when it is someone you love.

Gramps as you say so many things influence them, and advertising is the biggest, she knows all the images in magazines are photoshopped but she still believes that they are obtainable. Hearing her talk about her demons and how it effects her has had me welling up on more than on occasion, she also worries about the effect it has on her younger sister, so much on a little ones shoulders.
 
Thats great news Dave and I can see how immensly proud you must be, I can't imagine what you have been through ...

Hope things continue on the up...
 
Im sure you have been out you mind with worry over it so well done to you all for starting to get through it! Im sure your daughter will appreciate what you have done for her for ever!
