A day of restricting.
Okay, so I am on the 6th day of recovery. And i feel a day of restricting coming on tommorow/this week.
I am hoping, I am just tired and therefore my emotional state is different. I'm going bed in an hour, and hoping tomorow i will wake up and be as strong as I have been.
But my question is this.
I have recently upped my calorie intake 1,000 to 1,800 calories. If i have a bad day, and consume 1,000 again will it do much damage? I dont want to have a day of weakness and then be back to square one the next day..
You're basically asking us to justify you relapsing for a day. No one's going to do that to you, because we want you to succeed and be healthy 
If you can 'feel a day of restricting coming on' - don't. Just don't. Exercise that will-power and say 'no, I'm not giving in to ED'.

^^What she said!!
The biggest damage from a 1,000 calorie day is that it tends to lead to another one, and then maybe one with 800... it is way too dangerous to plan a restriction day - it would be like an alcoholic in recovery planning a night out on the town with a couple of bottloes of wine...
Stay strong - you have managed 6 days, so you know you can do it!!
I think i know the reason.
I have a job interview this afternoon..and so i am really anxious! My bodys way of dealing with my aniextys is to restrict.
So instead, I might just buy myself some cake to say well done for getting an interview! :P
Thanks a lot for your help :)
