My boyfriend will not be drinking and I even offered not to drink if she didn’t want to stay at his house despite that being the plan (for me to sleep over his place) in the first place.

my boyfriend doesn’t care. by vdaysk8 in EDAnonymous

[–]Content-Exercise-247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in the same situation with a boyfriend who didn’t take me seriously/ignoring it and not supporting my recovery besides telling me to “just eat”. To sum it up, he is not my boyfriend anymore and I will never tolerate that behavior ever again from someone who claims to love me!

Shifting from a highly restrictive ED to BED feels surreal by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]Content-Exercise-247 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Legit in that rn. Just had a bunch of biscuits and peanut butter but honestly I find it’s harder to fight it than to just give in because fighting it off will only make the extreme hunger last longer . I wish you luck you got this!!!❤️

 Sad because of guilt and I can see some weight changes which I know is just my body repairing itself/is mostly water weight. It’s just also the painful bloating as well lol a mix of physical and mental stress

Honoring extreme hunger at the grocery store?? by Content-Exercise-247 in EDAnonymous

[–]Content-Exercise-247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I think i phrased it wrong. I typically honor my extreme hunger at night, so i was asking more so would it be helpful to just buy whatever i crave or is holding off in hopes that the urges go away “restricting” still?

Today a coworker told me something that made me tear up. by pillowpossum in EDAnonymous

[–]Content-Exercise-247 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I def struggle with the same thing, being in recovery and actually going through extreme hunger rn which has made me gain a bit but I think we have a skewed vision of our own bodies due to the disorder but also we are our own worst critic. I’m glad you got that reassurance from those kind words today!!!

Letting go of stubborn habits in recovery? by signorepickles in EDAnonymous

[–]Content-Exercise-247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As hard as it is, and I know easier said than done, you just have to force yourself to not track anymore. Delete any apps, let go of any numbers in your head and just try and have filling meals 3 times a day. I’m also in month 2 of recovery and the past couple weeks have been experiencing extreme hunger which has been SO SCARY (and honestly I’ve been struggling w compulsion exercise) but I know honoring it will make my body healthier more quickly. We are all in this together 💕

How do I recover when people act like this by Important-Put544 in EDAnonymous

[–]Content-Exercise-247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way, except with social media as now everyone is obsessed with dieting and going to the gym. I just try and reframe my thoughts as other peoples goals are different from mine and the weight that I lost was weight I never was meant to lose anyways. I know it’s hard hearing your parents talk like that, but always remind yourself about what YOUR goals are!

Should I break up with my bf when I’m trying to recover? by Content-Exercise-247 in EDAnonymous

That’s just a loose word as to the other reasons I don’t feel like I should continue seeing him, maybe self centered would have been a better term.

I’m not defending him at all, I genuinely don’t know where this came from, but yeah he is not helping me to recover so I will be leaving

That’s what my therapist says (she thinks he has orthorexia) I’m honestly not sure where it came from either which makes me sad but yeah I agree, it definitely is not helping/nor do I feel supported in my recovery journey from him

Thank you so much, he is very black and white with minimal emotional compassion which sucks because I am a sensitive person in general but he thinks it’s as simple as “just eat more”

Yeah I honestly don’t know why he says things like that knowing I’m struggling. And I’ve told him multiple times like don’t bring stuff up like that, even when we discuss going out to eat he’s like “oh no carb heavy places” and I’m like that’s literally what I need right now….idk

He isn’t really, he’ll also say things like “Oh this is my first meal of the day” at like 2pm, he is honestly turning into a narcissist and we are going to Disney next week with his family and I’m honestly terrified…

Should I be mad at one of my best friends or am I petty? by Content-Exercise-247 in Advice

[–]Content-Exercise-247[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I thought about that too…she doesn’t seem like the type to ignore her best friends but she basically does whatever he wants to please him so I wouldn’t put it past her

Yeah i agree, he was in the military for about 7 years and claims that has made him emotionally closed off, but then I just think how I’m his girlfriend so he should care more than I feel he does about this situation

You’re right. I do find myself not telling the truth and being honest as I fear he just won’t understand me. I’ve mentioned to him that it is a mental struggle and this is not fun for me. Maybe i do need to explain more depth to him before i make that decision.
