i think im going through the same thing because ive been on a food plan from the doctors and have gone up a kg which i know is what they want but i feel bad about it and i feel guilty because i dont want to get fat
its so hard and sooo confusing! i dont even know if im anorexic because its hard to trust the doctors and all plus i dont see myself as fat
good luck on your recovery tho i think its such a hard thing for u to do so well done x
That is normal. You are shifting your thinking and it makes sense that you still have problems with your body image. Don’t let the anorexia win. You are making good progress.
I have now been off alcohol for 5 days. I still want some. I just know that one isn’t right. I’ve been weirded out all week.
Good for you. Eating disorders can really screw your body up. i should know. I was anorexic and a vegatarian (at seperate times), and now I am diabetic (41 female)
Just eat small amounts of healthy food and you shouldn’t have a problem.
well at least you recongnize that you have this problem and you just need to keep telling yourself positive things and eventually you will be able to eat with friends and stuff it takes time but you will get their dont worry! i also suffered from an eating disorder and it took a long time for me to even confess so your doing better than me! lol i wish you luck tho!
Of course. I had and still do have mixed thoughts. That’s part of the eating disorder. You just have to remain positive, know what you have to do, and have a willingness to do that. Remember, your getting there. Eating Disorders are powerful, but you are more poweful. Eating disorders may seem like yuor best friend, but your best friend wouldn’t try to kill you. I hope I helped you. Stay Strong. You can beat it.
yes when i first started recovering every bite i felt like crying because i was scared of getting fat and felt guilty afterwards xxx
Consult some counselors that counselors are specifically trained in eating disorders and are very committed to helping people recover.
