you just need to sit down and calm your thoughts...take deep breathes try to clear your mind. then tell yourself that you need to eat becuz you need to stay healthy you can exercise but in moderation to keep toned. and gaining weight isn\'t the end of the world it is a part of life. and remember \"Everything will be ok in the end, and if its not ok...its not the end\". take care!!!
its okay to nott bee happy all the timee.no worries.
&&like mirandab said..its okay to exercise has long has yuu eat well and eat healthy.that could bee a start to weight gain...eat but work out and then decress the workoutts little by little...
I know how you feel alot of those thoughts enter my head. Itl get better for you I know that cos your strong :) x
hey hon i know the constant battle of this crap. like it is nonstop....be gentle with yourself and hugs to you!
hhhmmm circular thinking.... ED\'s are good at that!!! hope you find a chink in the cycle soon. xxx
awh, you go back and forth with thoughts just like i do. so it\'s common! just remember what is best for your BODY and not ED\'s thoughts. DON\'T do what ED wants! try and eat as much as you can, and then you will have a little room for exercising. plus you can exercise and gain muscle, gaining weight at the same time.
I think that despite the confusing barrage of thoughts, you know which ones are true, and which ones are the ED talking. Try to use that filter, I KNOW how hard it is, but the more you practice, the easier it will get.
How about yoga? Get your body in tune with your mind. It can help you focus on one thing at a time also. I love yoga. I do it in my living room with a yoga DVD. XOXOXOXO Then after yoga you can maybe hit an OA meeting, sorry but I\'m like a major advocate of OA.
I hope your thoughts change soon, only thought i can see there that is useful is the number 3 exercise one, the other ones i think u need to rephrase to make urself feel better, so try to write those thoughts again but only with positive outcomes might make u feel better!
I have those same exact thought constintly. I wish I knew how to get rid of them.
I also have those exact same thoughts... I guess it\'s just learning how to fight back, so we are able to eat a bit. It\'s hard, but I\'m able to do it more now then I was before...
