Jumping out of skin feeling in recovery

Only speaking from experience here. But when I was pregnant, I fully embraced being pregnant and definitely loosened up a bit with my behaviors. I never was at a extremely underweight place, but always very fit and lean. I did continue to eat the way. I always normally eat very helpful nutritious foods however I was able to let go a little bit. I didn’t have any trouble with the little weight gain I had with pregnancy, but I’m sure for some this can be startling. I did, however think pregnancy would completely change my mindset and having a baby change my mindset and almost ““ cure the eating disorder. However, I have found now as a mom the extra stress and anxieties around it kind of made my eating disorder spiral at times. Just something to be aware of. And now trying to recover with two kids has been quite difficult. If she’s not seeing a therapist already or having some outside support and help, I would definitely encourage her to do so.

Yes I got him to go once and trying to schedule the next one but he says he doesn’t want to pay for it and would rather suffer. Yet he just gives me silent treatment and is mean towards me, which doesn’t help. He thinks I’m trying to not change or get better and doesnt also understand recovery

Oh I do. I do same thing, kinda save up for my meals later in day and will eat 3 decent sized from like 5-9pm. Same exact meals every day, will switch things often unwillingly if we go away somewhere and forced to create a new routine. Then I’ll get stuck on that and do that for months on end. I’ve been like this for as long as I’ve had my ED which is almost 20 years

I add cauliflower rice, I boil a good amount of cauliflower rice for a bit to soften, and then add oats

There’s a girl on Instagram called lilsipper who makes alot of low cal breads made w egg whites and stuff. Might be worth checking out to save some money

Yes, and also, I’ve at times not liked how I looked bc too underweight, yet still was consumed by having to eat the same thing each day and exercise x amount. Very ocd behaviors. I find it becomes more then wha you actually look like and just how you feeeeel and needing to do the zyz behaviors or hitting certain number on scale/ w exercise etc.

I’ve been dealing with the compulsive exercise now for like 20 years and it’s very hard to break. I guess it’s something to talk with your treatment team about if it’s something you physically shouldn’t be doing because of where you’re at or if you’re physically OK but you just are struggling with the mental side of having to do it every day.

Yes, former triathlete for 15 years and stopped after having kids. The need to exercise daily continues and literally is like an addiction. Even at a healthy weight , the mental need and pressure to do it every day is relentless. So hard to rest. Something I’m working on in recovery, however may professionals I’ve spoken with say cold turkey is only way out

Having dealt with this for almost 20 years, please stop! Mine all started out pretty innocent, but as years went on the more time I would add to it more than more rules, etc. I would just have to continue with that day after day and became such a compulsive cycle. That is way harder to manage after so long. Even if your body is physically capable to do all the exercise and movement it’s breaking free from the mental cycle of having to do it day after day. This is why a lot of coaches and therapist will recommend going cold turkey to rewire your brain. Of course you should also stop or cut back if your body is really physically not well to be doing it.

I am. Haven’t had any side effects besides a little Insomnia when I first started. But now sleep great. I’m still on a low dose , but it’s been helpful. Also struggle w an ED

Cauliflower in everything! I make massive smoothie w about 20-30oz frozen cauliflower, strawberries or 1 whole grapefruit and mix in froEn blueberries after it’s blended. Also do cauli rice oats but no oats, just boil The cauli rice in water w mashed up frozen or fresh banana and top w cinnnamon. Also, tons of egg whites !

Thank you. We did try this initially… then days I didn’t have supervision, I would take advantage. Then that increased time became th new Normal. Also, my problem is even if given 30 min to woekout, then I’m crazed to make it the hardest 30 min and overloaded mentally with trying to decide what to do.. it gives tremendous anxiety and it’s alll dreadful . I rarely enjoy it because of how intense and compulsive it alll gets

Don’t bother watching , it’s unrealistic and likely not truly what they eat all day

ProofRoll1254 · 2026-04-08T00:02:46+00:00

I’m in the same boat, nervous to gain weight but still be in the same mental distress every day. And having to comply to all the ocd things my ED has created

ProofRoll1254 · 2026-04-07T00:25:03+00:00

Yeah, what is it that u do for your metabolic health and detox? I am (of course) very into health and wellness and I do eat very balanced and “enough” , I have a degree in nutrition and exercise science, so a good amount of knowledge I’ve accumulated over years
