Eating disorder recovery? For current or past sufferers especially?!
Question: Eating disorder recovery!? For current or past sufferers especially!?
After three hellish years of anorexia, I finally went into recovery three months ago!. I've been able to live a normal, happy life since then, but in the past couple days I've been on the brink of relapse!.
I hate my body, I hate the way I look, I hate the 20 lbs!. I've gained!.
Then again, I'm terrified!. I want to be straight with God, and I know I can't do that when I'm hurting myself!. After all, isn't anorexia just slow suicide!?
Please, be honest with me: Is it even possible to recover, and stay recovered, for the rest of your life!? What is the longest that you or someone you know has been in recovery!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

hi, im in recovery for bulimia at the moment and i know how hard it is and how hopeless it seems!. but my mother is living proof that you can recover!. she went through 8 years of anorexia, this was only about 9 years ago!. now she is fully recovered!. by that i mean she eats well and is a healthy weight!. she still weighs herself every morning and is obsessive about her weight and what she eats, but she can manage to live a normal and healthy lifestyle!. she's my role model!. i think eating disorders stay with you for life, but you can get up to a point where it isnt running your life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i hate being honest ugh but i have to be because that is the right thing to do ,since the age of 13 i have struggled i am either not eating or if i do i purge i weigh 124 i hate it when before i was 90 pound i have a belly everyone says i look good but i think not ,the longest for me never i got chubby due to meds and i hate it if i dont have control and i give it to god and take it back a second later you can recover but old habits for me are hard to die i am 42 and i feel guilty knowing that god didnt mean for me to abuse what he gave me i have dealt with 40 yrs of hurt in family and i just got straight for bpd bipolar drugs alcohol that i am going good in almost a yr aa na august but this eating has consumed me so if you have fought it keep going dont give up okWww@Answer-Health@Com
