Wanting to go back
I am on the road to recovery from a 2 1/2 year struggle from Anorexia. I have been in recovery for a year now and I am still terrified about eating certain foods like sweets and breads. I feel like when I start eating I will never stop and I will turn into this ball of human that has to be rolled around. I want to go back to the way I looked. I miss seeing my bones. I am learning to enjoy foods but I never feel ‘full which scares me. I am still eating but I miss the feeling of never being hungry. Help I need motivation to keep going and not return to my old habits.
Hi @MindyLove first of all, I just wanted to give you a warm congratulations on your recovery process. It takes a really strong person to even begin to seek help and begin to recover. I know that your path has not been easy and I am so sorry that you have been struggling :( One of my friends from high school suffered from bulimia, so you are definitely not alone in your struggles. Although I am not an expert on anorexia by any means, I wanted to reply to your post to provide some encouragement and motivation for you! I just want to let you know that you do not have to face this on your own. I want you to know that there are people here who genuinely care about your well-being and want to see you succeed, me being one of them :) I understand that it is extremely difficult now but I know that with your perservance and determination that you will continue your path to recovery! Just remember that you are not alone and you always have people cheering for you! :)
