Going back into eating disorder thoughts?!

Question: Going back into eating disorder thoughts?

I have been so good lately, not keeping track of calories, just eating whatever I used to deprive myself of. I've gained five pounds in three months. I am getting paranoid about stretch marks and looking at the scale today, I cried. I feel like I need to go back to anorexia. Advice?

Answers:

i know EXACTLY how you feel. i just recovered from an extremely dangerous battle with anorexia. i wasn't going to stop, but one day i just stopped caring all together about calories and i felt so free. now i'm seeing the effects because i have gained 25 lbs in the past month and a half. a big part of me wants to go back and restrict restrict restrict but i love food and i never want to be in the dark place i was in when i was anorexic ever again. for now, just eat what you want, when you want, but try not to binge. and mainly TAKE THE SCALE OUT OF THE HOUSE. it was such a big help for me. it was hard at first, but definitely worth it. and when you go to the doctor, make sure you do a blind weigh in, it is so much less painful not having to see your weight, or at least it was for me. :)

Don't be stupid!

Just eat healthier.
More water.
Less soda.
Less fatty foods.
Less salts and sugars.

XOXO :)
