How do you stay in a healthy mindset while loosing weight as someone who struggles with anorexia?

That is a tough one junkemail336. I understand because I almost died from Anorexia when I was 34 and continued to be eating disordered for many years after my "recovery." I occasionally get those thoughts of returning to starvation, but I really like feeling healthy and strong and I remember how weak I was, how thin my hair was, how just really unhealthy I was and that keeps me from relapsing. You might want to focus on all the positive aspects of eating good, healthy food, of being able to lift weights or accomplish whichever workout you enjoy. Think about gaining muscle rather than having that waif "too thin" look that zaps your strength. Have some images on hand of men who are healthy and fit who look how you want to look, healthy meals that feed your body good nutrition and fuel your tank as well as the activities you look forward to doing when you are healthy and strong. That has worked for me, but we are all different, so it is just a suggestion. I really hope you stick to eating enough and feeling good about yourself. Anorexia is no way to live! Are you in a support group?

You have to figure out what anorexia serves in your like - you wouldn’t have it if it didn’t serve a purpose. You have to figure out what the purposes. Is it covering up fear? Get down to the root lie you believe…”I want to be thin because it means I’m in control, my dad always screamed in my face that I was out of control. I want my dad’s approval so I want to prove I can be in control and I do so with the number on the scale.” (That’s a little bit of my story) Once you can recognize the lie, then you can negate it with the truth and work backwards every time you face the feelings of being restricted. There might be a few lies you believe, so you’ll have to also figure out which lie is being whispered to your brain each time you are triggered. I hope that helps.
