Okay this actually made me tear up a little to read, thank you so much, I think I really needed to hear this.

Also the ED likely won’t be a problem, I’m in a position now where I can afford food and I’ve been eating decently now because of it. Not quite as much as when I was living with my parents, but enough that I feel healthier than I have in months. I’m actually feeling really nice about my food situation rn since I’ve reached a point where I’ve been able to motivate myself to at least cook one proper meal every day instead of meal planning, and that has been a real comfort. The meals themselves are usually basic stuff like simple pasta but that still makes me feel really nice to be able to do after so long where I couldn’t muster that motivation more than once every few weeks. (I even bake on weekends for little treats and that’s been very fun)
