Hello all,

While some of us are really struggling with lockdown, I thought it be nice to share the small wins because they matter too! It could be as small as you had lunch today, you had a lie in, you did something for yourself etc!

Wins you feel proud of today! 
Mine is : I managed a lie in!


What's your win of the day?

    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    This may sound silly but I've been a tug of war with relapsing the past two months.

    Yesterday (like many times) I decided to loosen the rules a bit. I had a takeout with my SO and it was lovely. I ate all of it and I even had a few treats that day and I didn't feel too bad.😊

    Had a small win today and had a small breakfast before work. I haven't done that in over a year. I normally don't leave myself time

    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    I ate solid food yesterday, in memory of Pip, I know she would want me to eat and not fall back into the depths of anorexia

    Also just want to say. I can go out after having covid tests because I get paid for the test. There is never been any reason I’ve got the covid test other than helping for research  or being in hospital

    I left the house today for the first time since Friday. I shouldn’t be proud of that really but I’ve basically spent the last 3 days hiding in bed so it’s better lol.

    Felt loads calmer today so managed to get a fair bit done. Shopping etc. I’ll tackle the cleaning another day, it probably won’t last too long but I guess I have to recognise a better day and use it.

    Hey all,

    I really like this thread and that it is still going! It is really uplifting and just shows us that we are never alone. Also, we can recognise our own achievements as well as other people's. Thank you @GreenTea for starting this thread. My small win for the day is that I have made progress on a project I am working on! :3
