I'm still not quite to the point where I feel full at the end of every meal, but I did only just start this last night at dinner. I have a lot more confidence that I will grow accustomed to these amounts of food, and I don't feel as though I'm being deprived of any particular item.

That looks a lot more reasonable and easier to stick to.
I'm excited for you!
Love you.
Good luck!
*hugs*
I know that I was in tears and terrified before my dietitian visit, because I was afraid that they wouldn't understand my pickiness and would try to say "Well, just don't eat that and eat this instead." Luckily, she didn't.
It takes strength and courage to face down disorders and addictions. There may be moments when it all seems terrifying, overwhelming, doomed to fail. When those low points hit, try and remember that strength and courage you have down in your core, that you have been displaying right now, in getting the path you wanted to take started in the face of difficulties. Having a moment where you feel weak or overwhelmed does not mean you're a failure or doomed to be one (both feelings I struggle with sometimes, and hope you won't get them, but you know, just in case), it just means that you're human. A smart, caring, wonderful, strong, and very loved human no matter what the inner critic might think. <3
Kirishandra, I am so happy for you.
