Progress!
So last night we were pretty slow at work and I texted my Mom while I was checking the bathroom.
"Hey, just curious, can you tell I've gained any weight? And be honest."
"A very tiny bit."
"Thank you for being honest
I can see it in my booty a little, in my arms a little, and in my face some. I think it makes my face look cuter "Definitely, that gaunt look isn't good,"
"Lol"
I'd noticed earlier that day that my arms seemed more muscular than before and a couple days ago I'd noticed my face looked cuter.. I figured out it was because it was more filled out and not so sunken in. For the longest time I haven't had an ass... AT ALL; now I'm beginning to see a very slight curve there. It's nice.
I'm also really glad my Mom was honest with me; it's nice to know she thinks I'm stable enough to be able to handle the truth . I don't want to be thought of as fragile or for people to think they have to protect me.
I haven't even gained that much weight. I'm between 95 and 97 lbs, but I'm not keeping a close eye on it. I guess when I think back to last fall on how I weighed 84-85 it's a big difference, but I actually like the difference. My legs are stronger and have more muscles; my arms aren't just bones anymore, they actually have muscle; it's still small but you can actually see a very slight curve to my ass, where as before it looked as though my legs ran into my back lol; and my face definitely look a lot cuter. I have energy and my personality shines more. I don't feel so isolated or excluded around people. My eyes have that shine again about them. I'm not afraid of as many food; I mean sure, there are still some things I won't eat but I'm making a lot of progress.
I bought ice cream sandwiches at the store today, yesterday I had a hamburger from wendys for lunch, I've actually been eating candy on occasion without worrying about measuring out a serving or trying to calculate the calorie content I've consumed. I'm not pigging out by any means, I'm just becoming more relaxed and carefree about eating and about food... it's rather nice.
I would post a picture to show you how cute my face is looking, but I'm at the library (laptop's still down) and I can't upload pictures here.
I start college tomorrow.. I'm pretty excited and a little anxious about that. I have U.S. History (up until 1877), then Comp 1, then Sociology tomorrow (and I'll have that on Tuesdays as well); then I have Anatomy & Physiology on Friday (as well as Monday and Wednesday); and next week on College Algebra on Monday and Wednesday, and I'll have my Anatomy and Physiology Lab on Wednesday. Here's to hoping I don't get lost on campus!

Go progress! I really love these steps you are taking to get yourself to feel more healthy and energetic.
Good job, girl<3
So proud of you, Reilly, on both counts. Go for the gold, and check your campus's map online, if you can get to the site. It'll save lots of worry tomorrow. You are a winner!
"and I texted my room while I was checking the bathroom."
Good to know people can text rooms now.
Yay! I'm glad you're making progress. Even tiny progress is good, and as long as you're moving forward it should keep you motivated.
Good luck with college! Yeah, I'm making progress losing weight and I'm happy to see the results myself..;)
Get a campus map, study it but don't use it while you're walking around campus. Then everyone will know you're a freshmeat, I mean freshmen. haha.
You're living a normal life now; that includes eating candies, burgers and soda. I am so glad that you're recovering well.
The first line was confusing; you're texting your "room". I read later that it was your mom. I was wondering why you would text your room from the bathroom. I thought the bathroom wanted to say hi to your room. Ok, dumb.
Post a pix when u have a chance.

Whoopsie, haha typo! And I will!
@brosephine - Thanks for the completely unnecessary bitchy comment. Apparently I'm the only one here who's ever made a typo?
This is incredible! You are an inspiration!
xxxxxxx

@mypandabear - bere of misguidance that they provide. Watch out for "male predators" during the 1st week of school. They're always out to help out helpless freshmen coed. haha. I did live in a all-guys dorm so i learn about their MO.
Hope you get really good teachers.
Sounds great! Good luck at school. And don't forget to have FUN!
Have a good first week! I totally got lost my first day, found the building I was supposed to go to but then couldn't find the classroom and completely missed my class.
I
