small achievements

Hello there! I just wanted to share a small achievement for me here because I don't feel like I can really talk about it with those close to me. Anyways, ever since I started college I have had a hard time going out to get food. I like routine because I know it and there are no surprises, but the dining hall changes a lot, which intimidates me. Because of that I have been eating really poorly, and by poorly I mean I lived off of the snacks in my room only, and when those ran out sometimes I just wouldn't eat in the day - which of course is not good at all. Well, for the last week I've been really pushing myself to go out and get food, and for the past seven days I have been eating two meals a day! It's not as good as three, and sometimes it's only a little bit of food because I don't like something and I don't like having to get up and replace it (makes me really anxious), but I have managed to get myself to go out twice a day, and I'm hoping to keep things up! And I'm proud of myself for doing this, which is also hard to admit, because I feel so silly that I need to be proud of eating, but it took a lot to push past all of my anxiety to do this, and I know if this were someone else telling me they were doing this, I would be proud of them, so why should I be any different? I still have a lot of anxiety about the dining hall, but it gets just a little bit easier each time I go. I don't really know why I wanted to share this but it helps for me to know that progress is achievable, no matter how impossible it may seem. Thanks for reading if you did :)
