Recovering from Anorexia with Weight Lifting or Yoga

BinaryPulsar

I don't have an ED, but I lift weights and do yoga, so in my searches I have come across these two very different and very powerful stories of people that healed from anorexia.

This woman has a blog and in in this article she shares "What weight lifting can do for a former anorexic": http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/hunger-artist/201101/what-weight-lifting-can-do-former-anorexic

And this next one is a very substantial excerpt from a new book about this woman's experience as a teenager seeking out yoga and finding healing after a year and a half of recovery in the hospital from a life-threatening ED (and being taken into custody by the state): http://intentblog.com/how-i-went-from-58-pounds-nearly-dead-to-healthy-happy-loving-life/

These are both helpful, healing, and powerful (especially the second one). I hope people can find some help, healing and the feeling of not being alone by reading these articles.
