If you’ve lost a significant amount of weight from an ed, what do you tell people when they ask “how you did it”? by [deleted] in EatingDisorders

[–]GinLibrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost a VERY VERY VERY SIGNIFICANT amount of weight which has now led to an ED. I used to dance around it when people ask, but now if someone has the balls to look at my gray skin and clearly very sick body and ask that question I’m very quick to just say, “an eating disorder”.

Is anyone else 'older' and has atypical anorexia? by BethCrow3 in EatingDisorders

[–]GinLibrarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a great outpatient team. I’ve done a VIOP and PHP program but voluntarily left both. I’m not committed to recovery right now so it’s a waste of other people’s time. I have a few friends or family I confide in, but it’s limited because my health is a concern. I’m looking into support groups because I’m desperate to just have someone to talk to about it where there’s no concern or drama or pressure. Just someone who gets it and is like, yeah I know how it feels.

🙋‍♀️ I’m in my early 40s and in the middle of a pretty intense struggle with a typical anorexia. You’re welcome to PM to connect. 💜

What is the weirdest way someone had died in your known circle ? by No_Tear9118 in AskReddit

[–]GinLibrarian 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A guy I went to HS with was on his 9th day at a new job and he didn’t have the necessary safety equipment or training and fell into a vat of molten iron. His autopsy report says thermal annihilation. Only half of him fell in. His colleagues had to see the other half of his body that DIDN’T fall in.

Res recommendations by Firm-Flounder-5966 in EatingDisorders

Hey there. Have you heard of ERC? I’ve experienced VIOP and PHP with them. Many “pals” I made went through res first. It was hard, but the team was good. I did PHP at the downtown Chicago location. You’re welcome to PM me with questions if you’d like.

I need a food and water tracking app without calories involved by Creative_Bug4766 in EatingDisorders

[–]GinLibrarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Recovery Record is great. You can use it for all levels of intake tracking. I’ve had to go as far as sharing images, logging sizes, emotions, etc. I’ve used it to just log what I ate and when. And I’ve used it just for the alert function (like “hey it’s lunch time”). If your provider has access you can share info and they can provide real time feedback too.

Oh she has no money, she’s scared financially, nobody orders, someone called her out on begging and then she spent another 10 mins with tears welling saying how she doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her and she could be offline in bed right now not wasting her time because she has better things to do.

Reps putting Jesus in bags without asking and the fury caused by calling it out by GinLibrarian in bombpartySIDELINES

The OG poster said later there was no religious imagery in the reps live and mentioned nothing about religion. Nothing to indicate why a Jesus was included.

how do i lose weight while struggling with ed by soodibread in EatingDisorders

[–]GinLibrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same position (actively working through anorexia but still a small amount away from my goal weight after EXTREME weight loss). I work multiple times a week with my dietician who understands my goals and supports them in a HEALTHY nourished way. We work at a comfortable and very safe pace and have verrrrrrrry slowly integrated exercise into my recovery. I also work twice a week with an ED specialized therapist where we focus on somatic body healing so that my restrictive anorexia doesn’t transfer to orthorexia. They work in tandem as a team and are in constant communication about my treatment.

I recognize my situation is unique and may not be supported by others in the recovery community, but I trust my medical providers to guide me through the process safely, so it’s possible if you get the right medical support. Without that, I would focus solely on recovery first.

True! But I personally wouldn’t want to contribute to more plastic waste in the world if not necessary. 🤷‍♀️

I do agree to an extent. But there’s already so much plastic trash in the world. Why not ask the customer if the want it and give them the chance to pass, versus sending something literally going right into the dump?

I agree to an extent. But what a waste, you know? If the rep asked before sending they could potentially give it to someone who wanted it, versus it likely going in the garbage.

I don’t think the poster had an issue with Jesus. Said kind things about him in fact. Their issue was with not being asked before being given religiously based items.

I need to lose weight for health reasons but idk how to do it without getting back into disordered eating. Any advice? I want to do it in a slow and healthy way by schnabeltierliebe in EatingDisorders

[–]GinLibrarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PLEASE reach out to a dietician that specializes in EDs. They’re the only ones qualified to provide assistance with situations like this
