If it helps, I...guess I refer to it to my doctor as a controlled ED? Like, I definitely never got to the point where I was seriously ill or couldn't function (except once, many years ago). But I'm not trying to recover in the sense that I necessarily damaged myself physically, it's more the restrictive attitude and…

Aware that I have a new job, or aware that I'm recovering? Sorry if I wasn't clear--I'm in therapy now, and I have told my doctor about my new job. However, she's not necessarily a nutritionist, she's just trying to help me work through the psychological aspects of my ED. She did say that having a job would help with some…

Thanks :) I'd love to get a FitBit--maybe someday!

That post was really informative, thanks! :) I'm still a tiny bit unsure of what mine should be (I'm really thinking of getting one of those fitbit things!) but I'll continue to do my research!!

Working towards that mentality. :) I joined to, in conjunction with counseling, combat my ED and I'm trying to get a much better idea of what I need. Soon I hope I can simply enjoy happily! :)

I think since I've dealt with restricting so long (~1500/day at most even when I'm exercising heavily), I can't seem to grasp that I'd need that many calories and I'm afraid to eat them. That part of me is viewing a 700 calorie deficiency as a "good" thing. :P The other part of me wants to make some eggs on toast because…

I eat oatmeal for breakfast--my favorite--but I've heard not to eat them at night? Of course, I have no idea if that's true...mostly, I'm wondering if I'm even supposed to be having a snack that high in calories this late at night. :/ I had no idea I supposedly needed this many...!

Thank you :) I think it's just sort of surreal to me--like, if this thing is correct, I have like 800 calories left for the day...what?! What am I supposed to do with that?! If I ate 800 calories' worth of food right before bed I'd have a panic attack haha--I think on the inside I'm like "well if those calorie estimates…

Thanks, guys! :) I will definitely be seeing a counselor--I just moved here, so I'm trying to establish myself with a good one. I'm aware that this has to stop, but I've dealt with it for most of my life and it is very difficult. I know I should eat the amount I'm supposed to, but my mind keeps telling me to stay at least…

That makes sense. :)

^^ No, no, no. I'm not trying to lose weight at 105--but, I was obsessively weighing myself for awhile and freaking out when I went from 102 to 104 to 105--and I recognized that that was unhealthy and resurfacing disordered tendencies, so I decided to make some immediate changes (and also seek some help, but that's going…

Hmm...not intensively. I'm still learning about working out (even though I've been doing it for a couple of years, but for awhile I just thought running on a treadmill/elliptical and doing the same five weight exercises in a row would cut it--now I'm trying to switch it up!) The weights I use are like 3 or 5 lbs, and I…

I've definitely tried to eat better over the years since I've noticed my body is quite sensitive--and I just found out I have a genetic condition that makes eating healthier kind of a necessity! Most days involve homemade stovetop oatmeal or eggs in the mornings, I usually eat a sandwich on whole grain bread for lunch, a…
