Idk what to say to you but you’re not alone. I was anorexic and I think it’s developed into binge eating and.. yeah I gained so much weight so quickly

I think when you’re so thin it’s dangerous then you become a normal weight, it’s very easy to feel fat and people compare you to your sickly body. Idk I’ll say that

Thank you it’s hard to balance letting myself have the food i want when i want and not binging bc when I’m not binging i feel like I’m restricting and restricting means relapsing and having to go back to the fuck ass hospital and it is binging sometimes I eat until I feel sick but I think that’s also been normalized bc that’s how eating “normal” amounts felt at the beginning of my recovery and if I’m not doing that I’m not doing what I’m supposed to

I think we just have very disordered relationships with eating in general honestly. Like I used to be actually overweight and would binge but during Covid I started exercising like other people and that somehow spiraled into anorexia idek.. like I don’t remember ever being able to eat like a normal person. It’s either all or nothing.

This is so real I want to start going to the gym to get stronger and bc I don’t really get a lot of exercise otherwise but it’s a very slippery slope so I’m kinda scared about it (now is obviously not a good time to start) last time I talked to my therapist about this she said it can take up to a year of consistent eating for your body to reach equilibrium after starvation so I know that I probably wont look/feel this way forever it’s just hard and it seems to be so easy for everyone else

Even tho I know logically a majority of people especially women have a fucked up relationship with food

Yeah I feel you, but don’t always believe what people are choosing to share as how it works for everyone even tho I do that myself.. and don’t take this over someone who actually should be giving advice but I feel like if you get into exercise, just try to focus on strength training and not cardio. Cardio and steps is what got me in the beginning..
