@elainaefird: Not everyone who eats in a deficit ends up with an ED but for those who that did happen to, recovery is much more important than weight loss.
Yes! I am currently losing weight, but I’m focusing more on how I feel and adding more protein and veggies to my day. I cannot count calories or

So if you have struggled with ED, but are not maintaining a healthy weight what do you do?

You’re correct. Every time I’ve tried to drop even just 5 lbs consciously…ED brain comes screaming back.

You just described me. Plus, you become fearful of certain foods causing allergic reactions that aren’t real.

this is actually why exercise has been so hard for me since I started trying to recover. It was so ingrained in my ed

for me, any restriction focus on my weight IMMEDIATELY leads to binge eating. I think my subconscious is like "NOPE. We are NOT starving EVER AGAIN."

The second my life gets stressful, ED brain starts screaming to come back to the dark side. It’s exhausting.

even a little bit of tracking throws me back to disordered eating. I have to just go with God and hope for the best

It’s such a slippery slope. I literally did the obsession thing live on a call with my ED dietician and they were like no honey

this is why I'm doing my weight loss with a dietician. I see her every month, so she can call me out if I start ED behaviour.

No. You don’t have to lose fat if you don’t want to but if you want to be in shape you should do it because that’s something you want. Just do it in a healthy why and not in an aggressive deficit.

Been in recovery for three years and this is so true. I need to focus on feeling better versus losing weight

That’s why I’ll never count calories again, it was so bad for me mentally. And people had the audacity to tell me I was crazy for saying that
