I'm not sure what you're needing or looking for right now. Are you missing something that anorexia gave you? Are you struggling with body acceptance? Are you feeling depressed/anxious and looking toward ED to cope?

Please let us know how we can help you.

I (and others here) often get triggered by mention of BMI and other numbers, so try to avoid those or put "trigger warning" in the title if you can't avoid it.

Well that sucks.
Hope you change your mind soon.

I am confused as to WHY in the hell you would choose to be anorexic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are at a healthy weight so why not continue what you are doing and work on the mind stuff so you can accept your beautiful self. Please re-think this.

its just a bit of a come down from the old high, can you think of any pluses in your abilities since being where you are now? For me i had a list, of things, not feeling the cold was the best one.

hun try and think of if you were anorexic again how ill you would be, think of how bad it is for your body and your mind,like you have come so far now,please dont resort back to anorexia!! here if you need to talk.x

Hey I have to say I can relate... I think back on anorexia and ED can make it very tempting... it's hard to turn away from anorexia for so many reasons, one of them being that our society is so preoccupied with thinness. Even healthy people sometimes have anorexic fantasies, whereas no one really wants to be bulimic or a binge eater. That's my deal - I was anorexic first and then bulimic and compulsive overeating - and I always think, oh, if only I could go back to anorexia and be super thin again, that would be amazing. It seems like maybe you have these thoughts too. Try to remember that it's ED talking, and try to get in touch with the part of yourself that wants to live and be healthy. Even if that's a small part of you, try to listen to it, and maybe make a list of the benefits of being healthier? And a list of the things that you like about yourself? And a list of goals or dreams for the future that you can only achieve without ED? I like lists :) See if you can take some pride in yourself and fight the good fight. Moving away from anorexia, physically and mentally, is a huge accomplishment. I'm here to talk anytime :)

Why would you choose death over life? Recovery is very hard but the frustration of weight gain is so much better than being an empty shell.

What is the reason why you want to lose 10 pounds. If it is that, when you look in the mirror you see yourself fat. Let me know and I will explain to you "why" you see fat when other people don't.

All I can say is ditto the Squirell Massuse.

I absolutely LOVE what Karrin said... "Recovery is very hard but the frustration of weight gain is so much better than being an empty shell."

haha i love that blues calls peanutz "squirell masuesse" HAHAHAHAH love it

and ditto to that as well!
