So proud...

On Wednesday this week we had our first FBT session since weight restoration and our T started talking about throwing the occasional challenge her way...

On Thursday D came to me and asked if she could go out for dinner on Friday with a friend. A totally normal high school activity she has missed out on until now because Ed moved in to our house when high school started. I remembered what the T said and I think I surprised both of us when I said yes. So D and her friend (who she has never told about the An) went out last night.

A happy smiling girl came home just before 10 and announced she had a grilled chicken sandwich with roasted peppers and fresh mozzarella. Bread? Cheese? I couldn't believe it! The same girl who sobbed when I gave her cheese just weeks ago. They also went out for coffee afterward. She came home and had a pumped up smoothie and a bowl of m&m's.

I'm so proud of her. Stayed calm on the outside. Doing back flips on the inside!
