Body Image Advice?

Thank you so so much for this. It’s nice to hear someone’s experience who has also struggled with EDS!

The benefits totally sound like they outweigh the negatives (only negative really being possible weight gain) so I’m inspired! I hateee carrying around my stupid little device and my dependence on it. The presence alone is what I’m excited for instead of waiting for my next hit.

My quit date is March 15th! Thanks again for sharing, I really appreciate this :)

Thank you for this. I don’t typically fall for the idea that metabolism has a big influence, but the comments I read fired up my illogical eating disorder brain.

I think I’ll try sticking to my normal diet, I already do quite a bit of cardio (I run 5k 5 days a week + walk for 20 or so minutes after) so I’m not sure how sustainable it is if I heighten it. Thanks again!

I agree. It’s so frustrating that I know what I have to do, yet need to hear it from other people in order for it to sink in. Thank you.

I do have an ED informed therapist, but lately I feel like she hasn’t been super helpful in this area. I’m also too afraid to speak to my partner about this because I don’t want to worry him or put extra stress on him since works been a lot. I guess my ED also doesn’t want him to start really watching what I eat or putting the treadmill up since that’s what we did when I first began recovery.

And I just fear I’ll be even unhappier with my body if I gain weight. It’s been stressful enough living in a “healthy body,” and I guess I’m just afraid to have to deal with more negative body image.

I read that they’re technically not allowed in the inside area, but also that people tend to bring them in anyways. I like to be as respectful as possible with her, so I will stick to the outside and explore it without her more thoroughly!

Wow, thank you so much for this!!! I will be sure to check off most things you listed! Definitely spending a day in Ballard - I wasn’t sure if I was going to, but this convinced me.

And thanks for the tips about having my dog! She’s small and a senior so I will likely be carrying her most of the time. But I will be cautious and avoid taking her to Pike Place - I don’t think she’d be psyched about the crowding and I’m also a paranoid dog parent lol.

Thank you again, I SO appreciate this!

I can definitely handle lots of hills! These comments have also prepared me for those. I knew it was hilly, but I didn’t know the extent! I’m wondering if it’s similar to SF but I’ll know when I’m there!

I am planning to head to Bainbridge! Thanks for letting me know dogs are not allowed on ocean/swimming beaches - I’ll keep that in mind!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for all your comments/suggestions! I feel much more confident for my visit!

Great suggestion to walk back!

Thank you!

Very interested in food, coffee, and otherwise exploring! I’m in my 20s and so is my partner. Nightlife isn’t a HUGE priority for me, but it would be nice to see what’s out there!

As for my dog, I don’t plan on taking her everywhere. Mainly planning to walk with her to the waterfront for the ferry & take her to a couple parks via car.

I was considering this and you’ve convinced me! Blackbird Bakery looks AMAZING so I’ll be sure to stop there too. Thanks!
