Dearest ramona!
Well done, congrats for being so strong and writing this post - you needn't be embarassed at all and it's great that you talk about your fears!!:-)
You have come so far already before Christmas, you can be really proud of yourself!! Speaking from experience Christmas time can indeed be very tough which makes it hard to resist all the temptations. I'm afraid you are stressing yourself too much with what happened during Christmas time and think you might have failed or relapsed...
Just forget about it, it is in the past and don't be too hard on yourself but go back to that time when you felt confident and happy and continue recovery from there. Give yourself time and don't be upset for making a mistake...it is a very normal and human thing to make mistakes -they give us strength to start anew. Remember that nothing you have achieved is lost - it lies in your power to rekindle this confidence and happiness you again.
Be nice to yourself and give yourself credit for what you've already achieved - never forget what a wonderful and unique person you are in this world, you are allowed to make mistakes during recovery, we all make them;-) You are doing great already, keep going and never ever give up - you are so worth it!!
Keep in mind that you deserve to be happy and have a life without ED and you will get there if you continue fighting:-)
Lots of love & big hug
