Personally I always do better when I eat with someone. If you dont like restaurants (I dont) then maybe invite them over. Or you can try eating some high calorie dense foods so you wont have to eat as much. Have you figured out is there something going on that your eating is starting to get bad again. We usually do this to…

Well I have to say you really look great and i am so glad that you are not focused on the number thing. Once you start playing that game it is hard to get off of it. You have to go by how you feel and what you are comfortable with. Funny though most of us think if we decrease our calories we will loose weight, but after so…

Good job Jess..I have not had a great week, but hit 1500 one day and seeing my therapist 2 times a week right now.Must be tis time of year or something but I really hate being this depressed! Having trouble putting on my happy face for work..Hope everyone else continues to work hard and is doing well.

So far I have only done number 5...

Jess if I was able to do 3600 cals you can do 2000. That really isnt that much..it is to us but to people without eating disorders that is a normal day. I started watching people around me at work and they eat well over that and they are by no means fat..and it isnt healthy food and they dont work out either!My goal is to…

I am glad this is your goal because for years I felt fine physically and thought I wasnt harming my body and look at me know. You can do it!

As you know Milli I have damaged my body beyond repair but for those of you who dont I will share with you the things I have done to my body. How and why I am still here nobody really has answer for. But I used to abuse laxatives for many years. Along with the purging, exercising and restricting. Well one day my bowel…

Ask for help if I need it(HELP) lol 6.Eat before work to prevent low blood sugars(or…

Well coming from someone who is anorexic I guess the best thing you have going for you is awareness. It is fine to want to lose weight (if that weight is a realistic goal) A BMI of 15 is not and the other thing is how you lose the weight. I think we all no matter if we need to or not get obsessed with counting calories,…
-
Wow this sure caught a lot of peoples attention! Actually though if someone looked at my pictures they could think that I was pro ana when I am really not. Sometimes we have to be careful how we interpret things. Wonder if there would be the same response if the topic was about pro obese? Everyone is so quick to judge. I…

And over eating is an eating disorder to that you can die from and people talk about how much they have eaten or gone over should they be banned...no I think not..just supported!
-
Good for you for beating it! Sorry I am not to that stage but I am trying!
-
I know I am trying to recover from anorexia and use the site to count calories and many of them want to be friends. I tell them when they are ready for recovery I will be their friends and then I tell them how the last 25 years of my life has been ruined and how I have damaged my body. That does get to some of them esp…
-
So glad to see all of the new posts on here..anyone can feel free to add me as a friend if they are looking for support! It is a horrible disease and it helps to have the extra support. I am pretty much an open book since i have struggled with all 3 eds. Ana/Mia and overweight..kind of been there done that, but destroyed…

What about caring some protein bars with you or nutritional drinks like boost or fortsnips I think it is called. That is great you were able to tell your BF. Maybe you will be more accountable to him and he will give you some added support. I know things can get overwhelming but try to take them one thing at a time
-
Are you serious? Thought I was obsessed. I would add jewelry wear heavier clothes and fill my pockets but never let my hair grow, painted my nails or didnt brush my teeth before I got weighed. But if you are that serious make sure your hair is dry lol
-
I dont see others as fat, but if someone looses or gains a little weight I am not the person who usually notices. I really get bothered by people who judge people because of their looks though. Most of my friends are on the heavier side I guess you could say and i love them just the same. But I see myself the same when I…
-
Yes Jess sounds like you are doing great keep it up. I know it can be frustrating regulating snythroid but hang in threre
-
I totally understand..I wrote a blog about this before. Numbers..everything is numbers and for what.Well for whatever reason it is your way of coping with something. We focus on those things so we dont have to focus on others. Usually people accosiate good with losing weight so when you see the numbers go down you feel…
-
You are right I have suffered with both of them and they suck! And even though everyone is different there is that connection...now we connect to fight against them!
-
Glad you are seeing a therapist my friend!! You are talking to a person who can rationalize anything. lol I am laughing as I read what you wrote because it sounds like something I would have said a while back. But that is ok. i am glad that you are healthy because it really sucks being sick. I would love to work out but I…
-
Thanks I live in Pa and they dont even want me to go out of state. Said they would pay for me to go to Pittsburgh hospital 10 before paying for anywhere else..well they are just about doing that. If I was in a position to go back in the hospital I would potion them this time. Obviously just refeeding me doesnt work.MAYBE…
-
WAY TO GO MILLI!!!!YOU ROCK!! I do better to when I plan ahead. That way I dont have to think because if I do then I just say oh I will eat something later..later never comes. Well yesterday I tasted some of my nephews creation of Bananas Foster. Some kind of New Orleans dessert. Yeah I dont normally put that crap in my…
-
Wow you have been doing a lot of proactive behaviors.Way to let your husband know what you need.Ihope that going to the therapist will help too! Glad to see you are getting more help no matter how much it costs.you are worth it.Took me a while to learn that.I have lost so much money over the last 2 years..close to…

Another thing that happens with anorexia is the lower your weight the more invasive the thoughts are. So depending on where people are at sometimes they just say it with out thinking. I have to stop before I speak. They are doing many studies thinking that anorexia is a disease of the brain. Kind of like how schizophrenics…
-
If you have people that trigger you than by all means get rid of them or even better yet..tell them. But you need to do what you need to do to keep you healthy. I deleted a lot of people..they are wanting different things.
-
That is great that you like her b/c you have to be able to trust her. She will be telling you things your ed wont like and yu will need that trust. Besides that she wouldnt do all that stuff the first visit you would never go back. Have to work on things slowly and when you are ready to. My one suggestion though is dont…
-
Yes I have been there but be patient b/c the more you screw with your calories the longer it takes to get back to normal. It took me over 10 years b/c I was constantly increasing and then starving myself. It takes 3500 calories on the plus side to gain one pound so could some of it be water weight? Also you body is holding…
-
GO!! YOu are so lucky! I would give anything to be able to go. My insurance will only pay for hospitals. Which I have been to many times. They used to be really good with groups, but now because of $$$ they basically are just re feeding people. The idea is basically the same. You meet with a dietitian THEY WILL NOT START…
-
Well it just doesnt effect your metabolism and if it really made a difference in helping people loose weight dont you think they would prescribe it as a diet oill? They dont incase you didnt know. I also am hypothyroid and I actually gain weight if my dose is to high. So tell that to your ed. The reason being is when it is…
