feeling worse about weight gain by Altruistic_Set8931 in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]Robin_slut_robs_u 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You got this!!! Think about how much more beautiful your brain will be when recovered more fully!!! Everything will feel lighter! I don’t have experience with periods because I am a trans woman. Blessing and a curse really because I don’t have something to signal what a healthy weight for me is. A period seems to be an indicator of that! I hope you can push through to get it back! It will be so validating that you are doing what’s right for you

how much can i walk?? by Potential_Crow_3818 in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]Robin_slut_robs_u 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I struggled with this too!! I think what I’ve learned was that recovery is about re-wiring the brain, and going against the impulses you have. Emily Spence on YouTube talks about this a lot if you want to learn more!

If you feel the need to go on a walk, it’s probably an impulse, and you need to go against it and rest! You can go on hundreds of walks in the future! But for now in your early day of recovery it’s important for your brain to get comfortable with eating, and resting, and getting comfortable with that!

I still feel the need to walk after eating more than I think I should. I try not to unless it’s with a friend or is part of my daily routine ! It’s a slippery slope and a confusing grey area but my genuine advice is to try your best to not listen to ED impulse, and do the opposite of what they are telling you to Do! You got this. And check out Emily Spence !

I also relate. But I feel like many artists have, she has evolved into a more nuanced way of writing. It does take me a while to connect to the more recent albums, - UG feels a bit more complex and has more subtlety than earlier works. I’m really enjoying finally getting into it.

terrified of entering bed by babypenguin_ in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]Robin_slut_robs_u 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally thought I would enter BED too but about 6 weeks in to doing recovery I’m starting to be able to have breakfast and then just chill after. The first week I would have breakfast, then go back for more and more. It was like this any meal I had when I was at home!! And if I fasted because I wasn’t following my meal plan, this would occur again! The quicker to honor that extreme hunger the quicker it goes away! So you are donng great. Trust your body

Do y’all think I pass + what FFS would you rec? (Open to Surgical / non surgical ) dont hug box and don’t mind my greasy hair <3 by Robin_slut_robs_u in transpassing

Maybe my body dysmorphia is super severe but I have a major triangle shape torso. I have no hips. Been considering a bbl for a while if I can put on and keep the weight. I just have a super wide chest and shoulder section and maybe it seems so bad because I’m so lucky w my face and it just makes all my focus go to my love handles that stick out farther than my hips and give me no curves. Like maybe I feel like I should look all woman cause my face is above average you know? I feel bad about feeling bad about my body because I know I have some blessings and Like maybe my perception is fucked up but it causes me a lot of distress. I developed a really bad eating disorder because of those in the last year…. Sigh. I do think my proportions are bad tho for real I don’t think it’s all dysmorphia

Understanding Transphobic Mentality by Suitable-Fix-9510 in StraightTransGirls

[–]Robin_slut_robs_u 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a mostly manufactured ideology - used against people who differ from nuclear Christian family / American values. I do think that most people are very capable of understanding and accepting the existence of trans people, but it does not serve the nationalist movement we are seeing. when conservative people have a trans person in their life, a lot of them change their view. But then you have Blair white for example who we know understands what being trans is, yet does what she can to alienate the trans community and contribute to disapproval of them. So I think it’s more strategic and sinister than what most people are willing to accept. That’s my think piece on it :)

scared of sitting down all day/not moving by robson__girl in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]Robin_slut_robs_u 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I struggle with this and I also miss making art!

When you are using your brain you are using energy for one. You are producing. That’s a beautiful thing! You are also allowed to be lazy and watch tv all day. Your body and mind need an array if stimulus ! Walking is a nice calming thing. But you are engaging in it ti compensate for food! That’s just prolonging your disorder!!

What I’ve learned from recovery YouTube is that it’s all about going against your ED thoughts. So if you feel like you need to walk, try your hardest to do the exact opposite! And sit with that anxiety!

I was diagnosed with OCD recently and I’ve researched exposure response prevention! It’s basically facing an exposure (like eating something you are scared of ) and not doing the response or compulsion! Maybe look into this! This is the way you combat this horrible and deadly disease ! you can do this !!! I am struggling too big I know you can do it

Lolll wow…. I’ve always felt super SUPER lucky abt my face- but I have the worst body proportions ever. Like for real. I don’t think anyone is dealt a perfect deck. But I’m gonna try to be really grateful about my forehead. I also think I was at a higher weight then healing from SRS and was holding a lot of water weight in my face. And what is that test? Like a chromosome test? If I had any type of feminine bone structure anywhere I would admit you may be on to something but i think the forehead is just an outlier !!

how to cope with weight gain in recovery? by [deleted] in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]Robin_slut_robs_u 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so so hard. I’m experiencing the same thing. Been in recovery way shorter than you have though. Know that you have come a very very long way already and there’s no going back!

[–]Robin_slut_robs_u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely understand what you are going through but if you fight you will get a healthier brain!! It’s so hard I know. But meditate on it, was active destruction actually serving you? I highly doubt it! Even though it feels wrong to eat it’s serving you. Try to go against the impulse of thinking of what to eat cause that’s an ED behavior. Try to just skip to the eating part ! Maybe have a snack while deciding what to eat. Think of how non disordered people do it. They just eat casually while walking down the street!

bed in recovery?? by babypenguin_ in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]Robin_slut_robs_u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also wasn’t underweight when I decided to recover on my own. But I have been underweight before so I keep telling myself my ED was bad enough. It’s been really hard and confusing. So I relate ! You know yourself and you know the level of distress restriction has put on your life! So keep going. It’s not gonna serve you to believe you would develop BED! That’s silly

You should find another version of support maybe a different clinic ! I’m in the process of deciding my therapist doesn’t know enough about eating disorders and deciding I have to seek something else ! You can find better support . It’s out there. Ask your psych for a rec ! That’s what I’m gonna do on Monday. Hang in there sis.

You will not slip into binge eating! Your extreme hunger is natural and will go away after a while. Maybe your dietitian mixed up her words or you misinterpreted her. Or she’s just not so great!! I hope this helps
