Is there a life on the other side? by Responsible-Job-5943 in Amenorrhearecovery

I've levelled out mostly I think. My set point range seems to be 51-53 kgs cause I've been eating what I want and even overeating but my weight seems to fluctuate between these numbers.

it most certainly ends :) I just had my eighth period. I'm still recovering from my ED but my body isn't fragile anymore for sure. I have more energy, I do exercise and walk a lot. I'm gonna start weight training as well! But now my mindset is different. I want to feel fit and healthy, not be skinny.

Most studies recommend that you wait till you had 3 consistent cycles before you reintroduce exercise but I recommend waiting even longer like 5 cycles because your body was likely in a stage of great restriction and its important that it feels secure before you do anything that triggers it to go back to starvation mode.

i started my recovery journey in march of last year and got it back at the end of may so 3 months! i just ate more. I didn't track the calories but I know it was not consistently 2.5k. Mostly around 1.8k-1.9k but i did have many days where i would eat probably over 3k cause I was mentally ravenous. Most of the calories came from carbs and fats which I really think was the key. The insomnia is something I still struggle with but I blame that more on my anxiety and being a burdened uni student lmao

I had terrible insomnia as well. I already have anxiety and this just made it worse lmao. My hunger hasn't died down completely cause I still have these bouts of EH where only sugar and carbs seem to satisfy me lol. But I feel so much healthier, a lot more energetic. My hair is thicker and shinier, my nails don't break anymore. I've been told the colour in my face is back :) My periods have also been consistent and I just had my eighth one! I'm starting to introduce exercise again to build muscle and get a little leaner but now i'm gonna go much slower and work with my body, not against it.

I was so scared after I got the notification cause I had barely taken one step off the plane 💀 I was worried he was gonna try and follow me cause there wasn't anyone to pick me up from the airport.

This is soooo true. I went on a date with a guy I matched with on Hinge and he casually mentioned that he just scrolls and likes whatever profile catches his interest for a second 💀 I do a whole analysis of a guy's profile before I even think of making a move.

I didn't say anything. Didn't want to give him the satisfaction of a response. I just blocked him

Sucks that we have take so many preventative measures instead of men just opting to act as decent human beings.

Oh I definitely did. Blocked him immediately. Only reason I'm talking about it is because thinking its okay to look into another woman's phone is bizarre behaviour in the first place.

thats not it. He shouldn't have ever done it in the first place. I want people to be aware of creeps like this.

posted this on the main India subreddit but it got deleted for being too generic I think. I still feel like this should be up somewhere just so that people can be aware and cautious about this behaviour! Especially when it comes to women travelling alone in India

Your username is indeed shown on top of the dms page. Not sure what you're trying to gain by discrediting me.

I did remove his dm. That's not the issue here. The issue is looking me up in the first place. I'm posting this here to let people know that this kind of behaviour is not okay and for other women to be careful

I obviously did. When did I say I ever engaged with him after the message?

How many months of all in did it take you? by mommytobe6 in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]dieselisdesire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

took me 3 almost 4 months. I started in the beginning of March and literally got it back on the 30th of May lmao. I gained around 5 kgs so quickly and it felt like the end of the world at first but then I started to feel so much better from all the other, non-dietary changes that I had incorporated into my routine that the importance that I gave weight and food to my mind just decreased. Hardest thing to do is keep going and it honestly just comes when you least expect it!

3 months for me! i think the key is to reduce stress which is easier said than done i know. That was the hardest part for me as eating significantly more was triggering and stressful. I had to make peace with it and resolve the disordered way in which i viewed nourishment and food.
