what makes you say that Ally?

Struggling today. Been restricting big time.

 

[louandivy]

I am really struggling too, at the moment I am waking up with the subconscious intention to restrict, I have to keep reminding myself that I cannot care for Ivy when I feel faint and hungry, when I suffer from my ED then she does too.

to lukes_mummy. If you don't mind me asking how do you overcome your urge to restrict? I was an inpatient in hospitals in London and Kent so now I'm living n Bristol I don't know where to turn to to get help, I hate talking to my boyfriend about it he just doesn't get it

I think my ED is coming back

I am also struggling at the moment. Trying hard to eat well, but the only proper meal I can appear to manage is breakfast. Its so frustrating. I also had another b/p episode yesterday. This isn't good . . .

The voice telling you that hunger feels good I miss feeling hungry, its so messed up. Do you guys talki to your OH about your ED? I just can't bring myself to, its so embarassing... while my friends spent their gap year travelling round Asia I was in a psychiatric hospital eating supervised meals!

I do, but its not what he wants to hear i won't go into detail about it though x i was on a proana site, i deleted my account but i feel the need to go on there again. i keep telling myself i need to quit the starving/restricting etc and concentrate on jayden but its just so bloody hard.

 

[louandivy]

We need to remind ourselves how preoccupied we are when we restrict. I was really mean when I was anorexic! If you need someone to talk to I totally understand what you are going through

 

[Sarah10]

In a way its much easier to starve with jayden because i'm busy all day, don't get a chance to sit down, where as before i was constantly thinking about food/calories.
Whats worse (or better imo) is i weigh less than what i was pre preg, so its almost encouraging me to lose more weight.

Me too, does it make you feel like you shouldn't eat when you feel full? Try to think positivley, what you have eaten is really healthy for you + Leni xx

 

[louandivy]

tell me if i'm being unfair but could we maybe keep calories, weights and what we've eaten out of this thread, some of us may find it a bit triggering?

Sure, sorry i didn't think

 

[louandivy]

No problem do you see a counsellor or anything?

 

[Sarah10]

Just try and think you have a beautiful son, that is what keeps me going. Does your o/h know?x
