i need advice

...See more I have been trying to find out if I have anorexia. I struggle really badly with eating because I'm terrified of gaining weight so I restrict myself. I have a therapist but I feel extremely insecure talking about it or asking questions because what if me and everyone else were wrong and it's just a bad fear of food? Any advice?

...See more I was severely underweight because of family issues. Later on I’ve gained weight by binge eating. I gained the normal weight and my BMI was normal. Still I kept eating continuously and now I’m overweight. All the things I try usually work for a max of 15 days then I quit. I used to love going to the gym but now because of work I can’t. Please give me some suggestions

...See more Hi guys, I am really trying hard to recover. However, whenever I start to increase my food amounts, I start to have a lot of stomach issues. My therapist says this is a normal part of recovery. Did anyone else experience this? How did you keep eating through the discomfort? I just feel discouraged. Thanks

Wellness Journal
by KristenHR
Last post
 Friday
...See more I was listening to a recording and the therapist was discussing keeping a wellness journal.  She was talking about tools for recovery.  It got me to thinking, because many people keep journals for recovery, and many people keep food journals, but this was the first time I'd heard someone talk about a wellness journal. What would a wellness journal mean for you? What would you put in a wellness journal? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
