I’m trying not to fall back into my eating disorder but it’s so hard especially when I’m not seeing any weight loss results through just diet and exercise...

    Recovering bulimic here. It’s hard but possible. I’m back at my healthy weight and was able to get here without returning to behaviors. Thoughts are still there and probably will always be. If you want to feel free to add me

    What do you mean by "not seeing any weight loss results through just diet and exercise"? That is how people lose weight. Are you logging your food intake properly, using a food scale? Do you have realistic expectations for weightloss, no more than 1% of your body weight per week, and not aiming for underweight? Are you patient enough to see through water weight flutuations?

    And of course, do you still have access to your treatment team, if so, do/can you use it? If not, why not?

    I guess as a person with an eating disorder, you must manage your relationship with food even more carefully than the rest of us? Do you have a good (any?) support network that you can fall back on for good technical support? I suppose the best thing is to say try to stay on the path, but don't put yourself at any risk. Be lucky, hey?
