Good for you drielly! Congratulations on your successes! It is so great to hear that you were able to make it through a full 3 course meal without any panic attacks. That is definitely something to be proud of.
This is definitely a success! Especially your comment, don't know what you are going to eat for lunch but I'm not going to think about that right now. Those words there show a great attitude, not going to worry or fret until that time comes, and you will approach it the same way you did at the restaurant. Congrats you!
I think you should move this post to the success stories, way to go.
And it doesn't sound silly to be afraid of eating when I was at my worst with the pa's I was afraid of taking a shower.(no it wasn't because I had watched the movie "Psycho") I don't think you will find anyone on these forums who will make a comment that anything related to this disorder is silly.
We each have our own individual fears to conquer and you know what - it is possible to overcome them.
So today my husband and I had dinner plans with his two aunts and I was debating if we should cancel. But canceling would only make me feel bad so I decided that we should go and that I would try to have a good time. On the car ride there I began to think and worry about eating and getting that lump and choking feeling and I was getting very anxious. My husband reassured me that I would be fine and to just eat as slow as I needed to and to just relax and focus on the fact that we were eating at one of our favorite restaurants. Well I am happy to say that the dinner went well, I didnt eat as much as I usually do but I ate my whole appetizer and dinner and even ordered dessert. At times I felt the lump in my throat but I just paused took a deep breath and I was okay for the whole dinner without having a panic attack. I hope that the storm is clearing and that I can get through this. I am not sure about what to bring to lunch tomorrow but I am not going to worry about that now. It just seems so silly of me to be afraid of eating and I dont want to feel this way anymore. I am going to take it a day at a time.
