I've had an eating disorder for about five years. I went to residential treatment last year which helped educate me more about why I had the disorder, but I didn't start actually recovering until months later when I made a personal change to turn my life around. It is definitely a work in progress, but I no longer binge, purge or starve myself.
I guess it is something you have to do gradually. You have to make small changes every day like anything else in life. But it is possible.
Now I focus on being healthy, not dieting. I realize that the disorder is a product of the society I live in and my own mental health problems and I know that I will never be an emotionally sound personally sound person unless I stop the behaviors that reinforce my mental illnesses. Maybe ED is your only problem, but generally eating disorders coexist with other mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. And you can never resolve those problems unless you start changing your behaviors NOW.
Just keep going. It will get easier. Good luck!
it sounds like you don't want the eating disorder to control you life anymore. good on you. many people with eating disorder don't understand is eating disorders control the person and not the other way around. You are surely stronger then it. Hence, you didn't want it to kill you. Take the next step don't let it take another pound or kg away, gain another pound or kg and say to yourself. I am in control of my life and I want to be happy.
Learn to break the cycle of the eating disorder. When the guilt sets in after eating - find something else to do, if that doesn't work then serve yourself a normal meal and only eat half (or a couple more spoon fulls) of it and slowly increase every week till you can eat a full meal without feeling guilty. Hey, yes you will gain weight, but hey at least you gain control of your life again.
I had an eating disorder about two years ago, and it was one of the hardest things I ever had to get through. I still struggle with it sometimes but what works for me is I dont limit myself anymore, which I know might sound impossible, and it was for me in he beginning too, but when you start thinking like that, you stop having the intense cravings eventually and when you do have them, remind yourself of something good you did lately like going for a run or not eating dessert when you could have.
The jiggly abdomen has not something to do with how lots you weigh or how lots you exercising or what or the type you consume. it rather is a made of your pores and skin being stretched out, and then unable to thoroughly cut back returned to its earlier proportions. there have been these days bikini snap shots of Kate Hudson and Cindy Crawford exhibiting the two one in each and every of them having that extra advantageous pores and skin. the thank you to get rid of it rather is surgical--a tummy tuck. while you're youthful, your pores and skin would be extra elastic and in all danger extra effective waiting to look after it. it rather is rather helpful to talk with a therapist in case you stumble on that this concern impacts the type you consume--considering the undeniable fact which will harm the toddler, and not forestall the wrinkles, the two.
I surround myself with people that care about me. Being with people that care for about me makes me care about myself.
