Great advice!!! Thank you!

❤️

Love this! My contribution is "read great threads on MFP more often!"

Thanks! I'm going to try, but try differently than before. I've expended so much energy and not getting where I want bec the bingeing can set me back far and fast not just calorically but emotionally too! I need to get off of this restrict/binge train now! I've been on it far too long!

Not reading this thread sooner! Great advice! I will follow everyone's lead

I will be successful! I am so close! I will be a success story. I read brain over binge- very good book!

Great job!!!

I'm in, but my goal is slightly diff. I've battled eating disorders for most of my life. I'm in the best point in recovery I've been in in a really long time. But, I can't weigh myself- too triggering. I successfully battled back from anorexia, but now still fight the occasional binge, which keep extra weight on. My goal…

I'm in! Add me if you like! The more the merrier

Really well done! You looked great before, but you reflect your hard work in addition now!

This is brilliant! Love all of the responses. For me I am now thinking everyday, what would I be doing, feeling, thinking if I lived how I looked and felt today? I am doing exactly what I believe I will be doing when I get to a healthier weight. I have battled eating disorders for most of my life. When I was severely…

Stick to what works for you! I have a hard time not being sarcastic "that's so sweet you are so concerned w what I'm eating!" Do what you can to not let them get on your head. I did, and relapsed after recovering from an eating disorder in part bec of it. I am in recovery and I'm still and likely forever, will be viewed…

Great job!!!

I will read it! I read Brian over binge. Great book. Still struggling though!

Where did you find your motivation day in and day out especially in the beginning! I seem to get through a week, then struggle so I feel like I'm constantly at the beginning.

Love it!! I used to feel so virtuous that in uphold abstain from pizza etc. until I seriously binge and don't even get To enjoy it! I'm done w that!

You're on a road trip, you get a flat. Do you hail a cab home and start over or do you fix the flat and keep going? A friend just told me, view today as your rock bottom. Tomorrow you won't be there! Hugs!

Can you hear that? Click click click? I Keep reading advice, suggestions, getting support- patience patience patience. Of course a few days or weeks won't change everything. So why turn and run back to where I started. As a friend told me, picture a road trip, you get a flat tire so it will take longer than wanted/excepted…

Love this! Yes! I will walk the walk thankyouverymuch! I had a similar thought when I couldn't sleep last night. Live, eat, play, work, relax as though I "had the body I think I want." I aim to get the proper routine in place, enjoying my myself etc. (without bingeing, even intermittently being a part of it) then working…

You guys are the best!!!! It's also helping to focus on all I already do that is a positive!!! I drink tons of water, within an appropriate amount for my goal of permanent recovery from eating disorders, I log. (This one is a little tricky as I can get way too compulsive w tracking, measuring etc which can then lead to a…

Thank you all!! Love these! And I'm genuinely spotting a trend! I will dutifully follow the trend! Hugs and high fives to you all!

Got it - thanks! I actually avoid the scale bec of long history w eating disorders, but I've been consistently eating, yay me! Now I'm trying to end the inconsistent bingeing! I'm so very close. My eating can be too "good, healthy etc" which sets me up for a binge! Time to be brave!!!!! Thanks for the suggestions!

Number one I got down!!! The others... No longer! Thank you for your response. I've found I'll have a good week, then get spooked, rattled, stressed etc, slip Into old behaviors, justify by one day won't hurt, I'm doing better than before- true and true, but I'm as afar as I'll get with that! IM NOT HAPPY! Here's to happy!

Eating and enjoying myself, not restricting which will Lead to bingeing. I will be gone for 10 days on a Vacay w my husband and kids. I assumed I'd be at a happier weight having been farther along in recovery from a very long eating disorder. Im not where I wanted, but I'm getting there. I've had some great weeks w a few…

Thank you! I do! Just not yet! But I do!!!!

Just sending love to you all!!! Keep fighting for yourselves! ❤️

This is helpful- thank you! I can feel it quickly but then get frustrated that I don't see it and undo some of my progress. This is gods motivation to keep going.

I had pain deep in my hip but not bad pain. Leg felt weak, couldn't balance well on that leg. Was waking weirdly. I thought it was referring pain from my back- nope- no disc problems, I also had thought maybe it was muscular. Hope you get resolution soon

Love that! Makes sense. Thanks so much. I'm so close to Full recovery I can taste it. I can go for Longer each time, then spook Myself, focus on weight and not nourishing, get really down and react and take it out on what I eat, but... I'm right back at nourishing the next day. Such an improvement from how I was. Can't…

Thanks so much! It spooked me so much. I've been feeling good. Not great, but fine. Slept ok, have been eating ok and then whamo! Was a giant ball of anxiety! Not sure if it was hormonal or something else. But I must say I have gotten very good at "bouncing!" Fall down 9 times get up 10. Having had 2 decades of battling…
