n.arelys 1 Posted March 24, 2014 Hi everyone! I'm new here, and really to any kind of forum or online group. I'm excited to say I'm in recovery from an ED, and happy about this. I choose to celebrate this as it seems to me a work in progress accomplishment. I've struggled with it for seven -eight years, and now I have been overcoming almost all of it. I understand very well all of the feelings that include: guilt, satisfaction in losing weight and feeling hunger, control, and many other feelings that might tag along with an ED. I liked being like this, and it made me feel very good in terms of control. However, I didn't realize all the time that I was investing in the disorder, and all of the great moments I was missing out on. Now, I can say differently. Recovery is possible, and is worth it. It may seem that its not for a long time, especially if one is food deprived - one cannot think properly. I thought like this as well for a very long time. But I got tired of not being able to do many things I loved, and once did when I was healthy. So now, I want to help anyone who wants in, in making whats best for you. Because only you know yourself enough to distinguish whats best for you, but its okay to let others in and offer a little bit of perspective. I'm just like you. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
