I'm Done
Well. I've recovered. It's a bittersweet sort of moment staring at the scale. Now, that number really means nothing at all to me whereas before I would monitor the fluctuation of every pound on a daily basis. Now, I'm just looking at it to ensure it's high enough. My hair is slowly growing back. I hope it'll go back to how it used to be.
Reply: Thank you :) I hope that you guys get through whatever struggles you're going through.
It was hard coming out of this-it took close to about two years to get to where I am today, but I'm so glad it didn't happen any later.
I feel anguished when I consider the time and health I threw away with the disorder...but then..grateful that it wasn't worse.
There is always a silver lining guys. If you're enduring any sort of health problem, like an eating disorder, please know that it gets better. I thought I'd never get better---but I started to exercise, saw my weight increase as I ate more, and realized that moderate exercise and a surplus in calories was what my body needed and wanted. Today I went to IHOP and had stuffed french toast and hash browns---and i ate it ALL. And I didn't feel an ounce of guilt. I'm not going to be controlled my food any longer. If you indulge once in a while, even once a week, you'll be fine. Don't fear the number on the scale. Learn to love yourself and your body. Things always get better.
It's late over here so I'm sorry if this isn't very organized but this is all from the heart.
Signing out, a happy IHOP customer :D,
