Fi’s Fight Back - appointment day and a very exciting evening in London!

A very busy few days.
First off, appointment day which actually went well. My walk got extended by 5 minutes and that also means needing to use the wheelchair abit less. Baby steps (literally!).
Then a very exciting day with dad (or evening should I say!). I got him tickets to see his favourite show and we had such a lovely evening out.
This video is a little behind (just by two weeks I think 🤔) , which I’ll explain why I’m the next couple of videos I’m still editing. A lot has been happening. A lot a lot.

Was that a packaged croissant? It looked unlike a normal croissant. Fresh ones have better lamination and an airier, flakier texture. Guessing more of a challenge as no nutrition information on them but hopefully soon 🙏

[@ababy6074]

Hi Fi, great to see you having had such a lovely day with your Dad. I am a new subscriber and also have anorexia. I'm a very old version though! I'm 39. One thing I am finding really frustrating about your videos is that you always tend to say something like, 'I had a really hard morning,' but then usually don't say what was actually hard, and that you just bounce straight back to showing your next meal/snack as if that is the only thing that matters to recovery from an ED. I find it frustrating because it leaves me asking, 'What's wrong?' all the time. What was it that triggered you or upset you, for example. xx

[@leanneeggenberger9127]

I always wonder the same thing! I think Fi doesn't want to trigger anyone, but I actually think it can be helpful to know what the hard thing is ...at least then maybe I won't feel so crazy in my own struggles lol!

[@Finding_Fi]

HEllo! I'm so sorry, I never really thought about this. I am so acutely aware and worried about every saying anything trigggering that I guess I don't go into it. But I will in the future. Thankyou for mentioning it! xxx

[@Finding_Fi]

This is the exact reason why. But thankyou, I will take this on board and explain a little more going forward :) xxx

[@cazlovescakes]

It’s so hard being older and having an ED. It’s great to see younger people sharing their recovery journeys as hopefully it can help motivate and inspire others so they don’t end up still struggling in later life. My body definitely doesn’t cope with it all the way it did in my 20s.
