Our Internet was down for just over a week.  The timing was good because D seemed to be obsessing about what I was putting here again.  It is hard for me to keep track of her calorie intake without her knowing so I have to stop again for a bit.  I know that ultimately it won't matter if I am charting it or not, she will do what she will do, but I don't want to do anything that propels her to stop eating and though sometimes charting here seems to encourage her to eat more,sometimes it seems she eats less so I have to tread carefully and accurately assess what she needs at each moment.  She seems to be consuming less than she was a week ago, but is still eating a reasonable amount.  She has made a choice to begin eating more healthy, even when temptations are put in front of her.  She has also made a conscious effort to eat protein before dancing so that she can focus and her body can handle the pressure.  I believe many of these changes are due to the army of people praying for her.  In addition to the stress that she is putting on her body by eating so little, we found out last week that both children have an enlarged aorta.  This puts her at increased risk of damaging her heart in this process.  I wish she could see the big picture.  She is permanently hurting herself in so many ways.
