Small victory: I ate a whole bowl of soup

Today I had a small victory: I ate a whole bowl of soup. Which sounds so stupid, but really I'm excited about this. I was attempting to gain weight for months, lost all my progress within a week or so after getting sick and my ibs just flaring up constantly in May/June, but this just gives me a little hope that I have a stepping stone to work on that weight gain. My emotions feel very volatile while trying to deal with my digestive issues. These little kinds of things make me so happy I think because I feel so down and hopeless a lot of the time. Just needed to share with some other people who get it. lmk if you have any advice for the emotional side of all this.
