Dealing with "food shame" and obsession
Replies

1.) get some help- and know that it is OKAY to do so.
2.) learn how to say no and be okay with it.
3.) say the phrase "and how is that a helpful and supportive comment??"
4.) I have a plan- and I'm doing my best to stick with it- you're negativity is not warranted or appreciated.
5.) get on a program with goals- strength training- running- 5K's whatever- focus on training for that
You can do it!!!!
Don't feel bad about doing the right thing- trust the numbers! science never lies!0 -
People with eating disorders aren't supposed to lose weight... like, ever. It's a trigger for the disease. Which might explain what you're experiencing again.
This is categorically untrue.
Yes, people with eating disorders need to establish a healthy relationship with food before thinking about diet and fitness. But, that does not mean they are destined to live tied down to their eating disorder forever.
I've had EDs. I was anorexic and bulimic for years. It took me a long time to heal from it and, when I did, I lived normally for quite some time. I ended up gaining some weight. Now I workout and and watch my weight. I stick to an IIFYM diet and, when I feel myself getting wonky, I take a step back.0 -
