What worries me is how much you're slipping down that path, I've been following you since I left inpatient treatment. I have since relapsed and retuned to day treatment. I have lost weight and put it back on again as unfortunately you can't stay functioning forever. It really sounds like you're slipping and I'm not criticising you I remember when I was slipping and all I could do was try and hold my head above water. I hope you're seeking out help and that you can change this around soon. Functioning is not the same as living.honeyandporridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647910786197670639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415343028540596846.post-76192207033676294132016-05-21T11:02:18.581+01:002016-05-21T11:02:18.581+01:00Like all eating disorders, anorexia is in a signif...<br />Like all eating disorders, anorexia is in a significant sense both a mental illness and a physical one. Its physical facets <br /><br />are more significant than those of some other eating disorders. Major Symptoms of Anorexia are Extreme weight loss, insomnia, <br /><br />fatigue, constipation, dehydration.

Again though, what has the trend been since discharge, rather than since Feb? (you don't have to say here, it's a question for you privately really) Anything can lead to fluctuations, and if you've been eating 1600 for a while it may be that your body has adjusted to that and switching to eating significantly more will mean your body burns energy more efficiently in the long term. Not a dietitian obviously so I don't know, but it's a thought. I guess this is where 'professional' help can come in handy, to answer some of those questions.

It's ridiculous that I know and fully understand ALL this stuff, I know what I need to know - yet I allow it to control me still? This is all so frustrating. It really is. As for exercise and intake Sam, you're right - that is a 'diet level' intake - but the bit that really muddles me here then is the fact I have gained weight month-on-month since February by eating said 'diet' intake. I wish I didnt question everything - the problem with me (which has been my issue throughout recovery) is I question EVERYTHING. xxxSarah Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14221184508059112381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415343028540596846.post-1856456211218437422016-04-30T10:14:15.112+01:002016-04-30T10:14:15.112+01:00I completely understand the niggles (I would call ...I completely understand the niggles (I would call it torment because it is so many questions over such a small thing) and I DON'T think it is silly or whatever you fear people might think. It is the very nature of any restrictive eating problem, the intense focus on weight and numbers, even down to the miniscule ones.<br /><br />Something I noticed from reading this is that you do seem to minimise the 'loss' numbers and magnify the 'gain' numbers. For example (being honest) I would 1600 quite a bit short of a 'healthy' intake, and actually 0.3kg isn't even a full pound. It is almost certainly a fluid shift rather than an actual gain and I imagine you've been told the same as me, that it is the trend over time that matters, not an individual weight. So asking yourself what the trend has been since discharge might give you more accurate information about where you're 'at' than one reading.<br /><br />I don't have any answers. I don't weigh myself at the moment though I do know my weight, and I know when I go back to taking responsibility for that, it could be tricky. It's easy to say 'restore more weight' but sometimes it isn't that easy (I wrote about the idea of choice a while back) What I hope is that you find a way to feel more at peace with this soon, so that it intrudes less into your life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102292827152553079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415343028540596846.post-75162004661801352072016-04-30T09:50:49.048+01:002016-04-30T09:50:49.048+01:00Just to give you a little perspective here, I thin...Just to give you a little perspective here, I think the bigger problem is that you're exercising and not eating enough, NOT the pound gain. 1600 calories is enough for someone on a diet. You are NOT on a diet, you should be restoring weight, so eating 2200-2500? You could go to the toilet and lose that pound.. and then you'll be back where you were previously, the same weight as the month before. Don't let this continue to control you Sarah, life is so much better on the other side, I promise xxwhatiknownowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00020538306293061353noreply@blogger.com
