TW: Anorexia/ED

Does anyone else struggle with an Eating Disorder?

I'm in a kind of quasi-recovery but I'm starting to miss being ill.

What is everyones best way of dealing with these thoughts and feelings?

  • Sorry to hear about your battles with ED. I’ve always had problems with not seeing the point in making the effort to prepare a meal.

    Then people eventually ask me if I’m ok? (When I’m thin) 

    So just got over a period of eating far too much. (Apparently called a ‘dad bod’) So now I’m looking to work it off. Going well as I have a physical job. My own belief is it’s like a self punishment. I do prefer being thin which has always played well with my ambivalence towards meal preparation. 

    But I’m starting to be very strict now on eating properly. Very tiring but I view it like fuel in a car. 

    Hang on in there and take care.
