Relapsing?

I know I overcame this... Or, at least I thought I did. Just last weekend I caught myself "forgetting" to eat. I still go to the gym every other day, but I started just to keep a healthy weight. Now, I feel as though this eating disorder is starting to take over my life again. I don't want to go back to hell. But I just can't force food down my throat. Like, my stomach is hungry but my mouth isn't. I can chew, but I won't swallow. Anyways, before I get too explanatory... Advice? Help? Please..

I too am going through a mild eating disorder. While I'm not discounting what you're experiencing, it's not abnormal for people to undergo period of time where food isn't very appealing. That being said you need to be eating. Eating the right foods can actually be good for you psychologically. I would like to know, if you would be willing to share that is, what your typical diet is, and if you're experiencing any kind of depression or other problems. My sore is always open. Feel free to shoot me a msgon kik@ williepro63

I don't have any experience with this... But is there something that's triggering it again? Is something making you feel a lack of control right now? Would gum help with building an appetite?

Hello love. I've struggled with anorexia for years before finally becoming weight restored. I basically found a love for fitness and through medications and therapy I was able to maintain a healthy weight. If you aren't eating enough, exercising will only break down your muscles and isn't healthy. While you get some help, (I would talk to parents or a help professional) it's important to take it easy on yourself. I promise it can get better, I'm proof of that! Stay stronf
