Severely Triggering (ED) - slipping already.

[Emmabob.]

I want to recover, I've been on holiday & I've gained quite a bit of weight, I'm feeling physically healthier, not too bad mentally. I've being trying to think logically about my weight, I'm underweight for a reason, logically that makes me too thin, yeah? since I got home my full attitude has changed on my eating, I've being making excuses up as to why I'm not eating, over doing exercise, being constantly feeling crap. back to thinking I'm fat, I know I'm not, yet my logical side & my ED disagrees. someone on fb was calling me fat because I have fat on my arm in a picture therefore I don't have an ED & stuff. I'm feeling quite like a fake. I want to try gain *lb then leave myself alone with weightloss. any support or something please?

Awh honey, you are not fat, being underweight proves that beyond any doubt. Underweight people still have adipose [fat] tissue on their bodies, having a certain amount is nessarsary to survive. Women need more than men and it protects your vital organs amongst other things. Who ever commented on FB was, wrong, but more importantly ignorant!

I think you need to draw from your experiance on holiday and how you felt as soon as you came home- you can feel so much better when your body is in a healthier place. You dont need this ED, it clearly works against you.

Keep fighting to gain weight healthily, gentle exercise only, like walking and make sure your eating a balance of foods, variety is the key. You are not fake, but I understand how easily someones comment can rock your sense of self.

*offers hugs*

ugh this sounds tough
would it help you to list the things that your body helps you do/achieve when you're healthier?
mine helps me walk, play the cello, work, concentrate, interact with friends/sisters.
when i am ill i am unable to tolerate my nieces/nephew.... the world becomes too much.
a functioning body can serve a purpose.

I've being trying to act like it hasn't done anything to me, but it has.

I've being trying to think positively about the energy I have when I'm eating better & such. it kind of feels like I don't have to have energy because I don't do much when I'm at home, like, when I was on holiday I was doing more, out nearly all day, out on a night & things meaning I needed energy..


sorry for a pointless thread.
