I am anorexia, but have been through IP twice and have the strict meal plan ingrained in my head so i eat well twice a day, usually skipping lunch, and having a night snack. I have had a little extra for time to time and nothing bad, still very scared of fat grams and carbs, but i am gaining and i can't stand it, yet i never keep the promises ed and I make to restrict the next day. I just cant help sticking to this routine of eating well and gaining and i hate myself for it everyday and can't stand looking at myself... I knnow i am doing what i am suppose too, but i feel like it's ed too that is doing this to me, making me eat because he is saying you are a failure so you may as well stuff it....
anyone else been in this place? I feel like I am about to either become bulimic or start starving again... help!!

I am right there with you. It's something you just have to keep choosing each time the hour passes by. Soon those hours will turn into days and days will turn into months, and you will fall sometimes but you'll somehow find the strength to stick by your recovery year after year. You'll see. Just keep choosing recovery. You will get through this.

I think that you are working hard at sticking to your meal plan but now you have started to let anorexia back in by skipping the odd meal, so when you go more than 4 hours without sustainance here we go bad thoughts again, you cannot be gaining with this routine, so I know its hard but get back onto the 3 meals 3 snacks a day please and you will notice a difference, the thoughts will be less and less xxxx

Exactly like that. Being bulimic again or starting restricting seem like they're you're only choices but there's a better way. The comment above me said it all. Just have faith. You'll know it's faith when it's all you can hold on to. XOXO

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
