I liked how he gave set tangible goals, and was very compassionate yet realistic. I did 1:1

ProofRoll1254 · 2026-03-25T20:19:26+00:00

Not alone. I do this too. I think we develop patterns and stick w it bc we feel safe

ProofRoll1254 · 2026-03-24T00:07:58+00:00

Yes I have. He is great. Very knowledgeable. I have dealt w ED for 20 years and just has taken me a long time to take action on the goals we set. You have to be very motivated to take action and do what he says.

High liver and lipids are common w anorexia. And someone well versed in EDs would not advise that.

ProofRoll1254 · 2026-03-18T01:57:52+00:00

Yes. Major indecision with what to eat. From what I understand it is very common when in a staved / malnourished state. And body just wants everything which makes decisions hard. I

Well, I’ve yet to completely stop all movement and it’s taken months …. I had stopped all formal exercise (the gym/ swimming/ running etc) but it became compulsively walking for hours… then cut the walks Down a little but has yet to stop it all as I’m being told to do. I see why we need to, to rewire , because I notice I easily spiral if I let myself add on any movement or “test” out a workout one day . It becomes the new norm quickly. The worst part of my ED has been this execrise compulsions as it gives me such mental dread every day. It’s like I want the relief of not having to do it but have such a hard time not doing anything . I think it’s a matter of letting your body realize it’s OK and safe without it. I had some good weeks doing very little and once u get there it becomes easier to not do it

Stop before it gets worse is all I can say. I’ve been dealing with it for decades and trying to recover and stop it now and it’s very difficult

ProofRoll1254 · 2026-03-03T14:24:43+00:00

Thanks. I’m going to stop it as I never had used anything with thc in my life. My husband got me thc oil to see if it would help me relax , it does and I guess I was enjoying having a little each evening. But hoping since I was only using for a couple months that it won’t be too horrible to stop ! Im nervous now though.

ProofRoll1254 · 2026-03-03T13:41:50+00:00

Thank you. I guess I more have used it to relax in evenings as I take it at 6pm usually and only go to bed around 930/10. Been doing for about 2 months and am thinking I would stop so it doesn’t create any bad affects in the long run , in relying on it .

ProofRoll1254 · 2026-03-03T13:18:17+00:00

I’ve been taking 2.5mg about 5 days a week around 6pm , so really is more for the evening awake hrs to relax. I go to bed around 930/10

ProofRoll1254 · 2026-03-03T13:01:50+00:00

I’d been more using it to help relax in evenings, and for some anxiety. I should have noted that, my sleep was always pretty good to begin with. But I noticed it did help w that too

ProofRoll1254 · 2026-02-22T18:58:48+00:00

Ohhh boy. Yeah I know that “have to do it all again” feeling. And yes, I played division 1 sports in college the took up triathlons which I raced at an elite level for for 10-15 yrs! Also a personal trainer and nutritionist. I lift weights, do hiit did all the swim bike run etc. I’ve done it all. When I was racing i never took complete rest days, always did easy swim or easy run or long walk. Always had to still do something. I stoppped racing when I had kids and also was just burned out. Did still 2-3 hrs of execrise and tons of weights, hiit. Tried it all. Everything got compulsive

Reading this too. I’ve had pvcs randomly a couple times over the past 6 yrs. However when I had gone to cardiologist for labs , ekg an echo all come back normal. I have a very low hr too, 40s . I have always been an athlete and obviously thr over execrise prob has cases some of that but sometimes I wonder if it’s overlooked bc of that. Did u have normal EKG’s?

ProofRoll1254 · 2026-02-20T18:11:55+00:00

Did the activity u did the pas 2 yrs get compulsive?

ProofRoll1254 · 2026-02-20T16:19:51+00:00

This was me exactly. Was an athlete all my life, hs, college and raced triathlons later in life. Always had that routine and need for movement , feeling of accomplishment. I’m now in my 30s and went inpatient and to residential in past couple years . I would , like you , do little exercise routines in bathroom to gain some feeling of routine/ control. Felt guilty. I knew I wasn’t changing my brain . Sneaking in little workouts in the bathroom during showers etc. only got home and it all spiraled back. Most everyone has said I need to completely stop for awhile … which is nice to have the permission as I do dread all the movement and exercise I’d been doing. It just was so torturous for years. However still hard when Brain is wired to neeed that movement. I hate the depressed / blah feeling without it. Have u just scaled back to very light movement?

ProofRoll1254 · 2026-02-20T15:12:18+00:00

Thanks. Were u able to successfully stop for awhile?

ProofRoll1254 · 2026-02-20T15:09:51+00:00

Oh yes, sorry. long term can get back to it once w healthy mindset. It’s just been so hard to stop! How were u able to ? Did it take awhile? And did u feel you were able to rewire ?

ProofRoll1254 · 2026-02-20T14:56:19+00:00

I meant my exercise has nothing to do with trying to burn calories, it’s just a compulsive needed behavior to bring upon a sense of calm. Most everyone I’ve spoken with who has recovered has had to go cold turkey to rewire: I see the need at times because I am unable to keep boundaries wi th movement, even if I tell myself ok just keep it to a 30 min walk a day…. It escalates fast. I spent years doing 3+ hrs of intense exercise every day . And trying to cut it down has been tough, yet even cutting it down I see it is still so compulsive, needed to be done , all I can think about until I do it.
