I Know how all weight related comments just makes the mind spin.
A compliment or other well ment comments can do just as much damage as a mean one. As soon as its about weight it just seems to be triggering.
The thoughts starts spinning and its too overwhelming...
Its important to remember that people do not know the damage of their comment. They do not know the illness like you do. So comments that one would be sooo much better without will come. Not once, not twice but a whole lot of times. And therefor one has to learn not to let it spoil the recovery. You might say its only two weeks but thats proberly been two very hard weeks and it would be a shame if they were wasted and deleted by other peoples comments.
I know how hard it is but try not to dwell too much one these kind of things. Remind yourself that it does not really matter. What matters is that you have picked yourself back up after a relapse (which is freaking hard!) so well done!
And you been doing good for two weeks now.
You really really have to keep your focus and attention on yourself and the very purpose of your one single precious life doing recovery. And how you can make the most out of it while time is.
And its so hard, i know. Its like being surrounded by screaming triggers all the time. But I think hannah wrote some great things, you can ask yourself. Try to work towards that.
The power of thoughts are not to be underestimated.
Neither the bad or positive.
They can break you down or build your up.
So choose wisely.
