Even though they are not completely gone yet, its so amazing to be (for example) at a family party and actually have fun interacting with my family, instead of hovering by the dessert table and getting internally angry and anxious when someone wants me to pull me away from my precious drug to have me watch their kid or something. Its so nice to talk to someone and not hear the constant "when are they going to shut up so I get more food" in my brain, even though I am sickly full. And now I can go to a restaurant sometimes without having a nervous breakdown just waiting for the food. Instant gratification (and perfectionism which I think goes hand in hand with this) is also a huge part of my personality. Well, a huge part of my personality I am trying to fight. I didn't start truly recovering from binge eating disorder until I accepted the fact that <i>I am not perfect and I can't one day stop bingeing to never binge again (instant gratification)</i>. My body can't instantly go back to the way it was before my bingeing got completely out of hand. I can't instantly run a 5k again in 21 minutes after years of not running.
