AM I RESTRICTING? *possible TW*

ive been eating just soup...i refuse to eat anything else besides fresh spinach, fruit, and salad and chicken.and just drinking water...sometimes ill slip and have the rice my mom makes, sandwhiches and have juice and sweets ...i dont ever wanna purge again so i just dont wanna eat but im too much of a fat ass right now....i am at my heaviest and its killing me.

what keeps me on the bright side is that im having a female issue thats causing me to gain weight wen my period is missing and so wen i finally get it ..i just drop 10 lbs......so its not all my fault. i have to go to the doc so she can tell me what to do to fix me.

i got this biggest loser cardio max weightloss dvd thing so when it comes in the mail im gonna work out everyday.

i noticed that my stomach changed wen i went out to lunch with my therapist and i had a chicken sandwhich and was so full by that my stomach hurt so much and my therapist said that my stomach probably shrunk since all i eat is soup or salad amd its not use to eating a regular solid meal

if you're not allowing yourself to eat certain foods, then yes, you're restricting. But maybe this is all the food you can handle in your recovery so far, then it's best to stick to this food until you feel ready to broaden your "good food" list.

Talk to a nutritionist who understands ED about how you can fit this pattern into a healthy eating plan. It is very possible to make well-balanced soups. If that's what it takes to get healthy, go for it.

i will...thank you...my caseworker is working on arranging for me to go to an ed center and wen i go there i will talk to a nutrituonist about my disired diet.

i dont like to eat soups with too much stuff in it just the liquid and chicken or clams in clam showder:) ....i tried to eat chicken with rice soup and after i felt soo bad so i dont wanna feel like that again.

my mom had to feed me like a baby today....she was warming up rice and asked if i wanted any and i said no and she said i must be hungry since i barely ate anything and she brought the spoon to my mouth and was like please and i ate it and i was gonna walk away and then she was like wait just 2 more and ill leave u alone and then i ate it and she was like wait one more with chicken and i ate that then left...it was like wen i was a kid and she had to force me to eat.
