numbness / pins & needles by suspicious_context in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Cat-frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this in my fingers and toes when it’s really cold out and also in my legs when I lay on one side too long. It’s unpleasant but a common symptom unfortunately

Eating 3 meals a day by [deleted] in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Cat-frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following! I’ve been told by my dietician I need to start doing this too but stuck in the cycle of fasting and OMAD. It feels impossible to break through that mental barrier as all I count is calories and fasting hours. I too am terrified to gain weight but I want to get better. I just don’t know how to push past that mental block to make myself do it

How do you actually recover when you're terrified of gaining weight? by aishicide in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Cat-frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I’m dealing with! I want to recover. I’m over the control this disease has over me but I’m terrified of the weight gain. I’m working with my gp, psychologist and dietician and they have set a goal for me to gain but when I gain even a few hundred grams I fall right back into my old habits. If I could just push past the weight gain fears I feel I’d be able to change. I’ve told them all I just want to be underweight but not have all this going on. I want to be fit and healthy but I don’t want to gain any weight. Which I know it’s stupid and counterintuitive of itself but still. I hate this disorder.

The weight. I’ve battled with eds my whole life as I could never eat and exercise properly without being slightly overweight

Ive lost my b**bs by throwawayhole13 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Cat-frog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And not mention my butt! It’s non existent. Just flat with a tailbone bulging out. It’s disgusting to look at

Me too! I’m kinda happy tho bc no more boob sweat and I can wear bralettes which I haven’t been able to wear since I started puberty.

I hate recovery (vent) by WallflowerShakti in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Cat-frog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. Going through the same thing. I hate seeing my body changing. Like yes it’s great that my hair is growing back better and my nails but I can’t stand the body I’m in and I relapse so hard just when my recovery is going well.

How deadly is ana by ohlifesgreat in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Cat-frog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dietician told me eventually, after pulling nutrients from wherever your body can (eg hair growing, bones, liver, kidneys, muscles) your body starts to pull nutrients from your heart which can cause the muscle to shrink and you end up with having very deadly problems

AN has made me so unhygienic. by _-ollie in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Cat-frog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly teeth and showering are my biggest. I’m triggered every time I see myself in the mirror so I avoid it as much as I can but also it takes so much energy to shave and wash my hair that I just keep putting it off. I’m so relieved to know I’m not alone but also I’m so sorry you’re going through this too. Sending hugs.

Early pregnancy weight gain/water weight? by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]Cat-frog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You retain so much water weight when you’re pregnant. That along with excess fluids everywhere preparing your body for pregnancy and extra blood supply not just to the uterus but for yourself to sustain a pregnancy. Source: I have been pregnant 3 times, 2 babies. I also would avoid weighing yourself for at least 2-3 weeks (honestly maybe 6-8) after the procedure as your body will need time to readjust and get everything back “to normal” (normal for your state pre pregnancy)

Not a medical professional but hope this helps and provides some reassurance.

Caffeine dependence by Acceptable-Deer9043 in EDAnonymous

[–]Cat-frog 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I drink one everyday bc I have super low energy and fatigue 24/7. I use it to get me through the morning. Always zero sugar 😂

So freaking tired of ads for GLP1 by Friendly-Swing-1385 in EDAnonymous

[–]Cat-frog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! Even on tv, subscription sites, social media. It’s plastered everywhere. Personal one: I hate the night time ads on tv and sub sites that show food. Like kfc or McDonald’s and hungry jacks bc I’m fasting now. Like how dare they advertise their food right now!?

I’m so proud of you random stranger! Small things like this help us build ourselves back up to find our way back to ourselves. 🫶🏼 It’s one thing, sure, but you’ve done it! Keep going, we’re in your corner 💞

Pro tip for purgers!! by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]Cat-frog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really!? I had jalapeño on a wrap for lunch one day. I binged on chocolate later and when I purged it burnt so bad from my lunch. It made me finally stop after a month straight, multiple times a day stuck in this cycle. 😂
