Happy Easter

It is now Easter Sunday which is the biggest Easter day we celebrate here In Australia, so happy easter everyone! Easter sunday is the day that people give chocolate to loved ones and also the morning that the 'Easter Bunny' visits children and leaves them chocolate eggs. This Is the first 'special celebration' I have had since moving out of home so it feels a little strange. My younger sister has always helped to make special occasions more exciting (as young children do) but I am determined to still have a good day.

As well as a bowl of raspberry oats mixed with a diced apple, I also treated myself to  a traditional hot cross bun with melted butter for breakfast. Eating hot cross buns this easter is a big thing for me as I haven't eaten them for the last 3 years. Fruit buns were one of my favourite foods before I got anorexia but since getting sick I haven't been able to eat them. Not only am I able to freely enjoy eating hot cross buns this easter but It is also the first easter In a long time that I can enjoy eating chocolate with minimal guilt and anxiety. It's times like these that I realize just how far I have come and although I still have a long way to go, I have proven that this progress is possible.

Fortunately I don't have to work today so I am planning on having a Cosy day snuggled by the fire and watching some TV. I will most likely visit my family as well, as they live only 10 minutes away. While I do miss seeing my family everyday, especially my dad and my sister, surprisingly I never get lonely. My nan also lives In the same street as me so we visit one another often. Me and my nan have a very special relationship and I am very lucky to have her. I know it sounds crazy but my dog Tess is such good company. I take her for walks which gets me out of the house and it is so nice to have someone adore you the way she does me.

I hope that everyone has a fantastic day and I plan to write some more Posts throughout the day!
