This post from Molly let me get inside my daughter's head. Thank you, Molly, for making this illness accessible to those of us who don't know what it feels like. I will print out this post and read it over and over again to try to better relate to my daughter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-8152182707872640662011-12-05T13:51:51.373-08:002011-12-05T13:51:51.373-08:00I am just beginning to emerge from the cycle that ...I am just beginning to emerge from the cycle that Molly describes (exercise and restriction). Her description of those obsessive behaviors was so accurate it made me cry, and I never want to be in that place again. I hope that "Molly" is doing well and that I will soon have the same attitude towards recovery that she does.

It was hard, and tempting, not to be on that path right now.<br /><br />I am also finding myself beginning to actually enjoy exercise again and how it makes me feel. It is no longer a punishment or torture - or even something that I HAVE to do.<br /><br />Great post!Jessicahttp://jlhanna.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-19085600744579765402011-07-23T07:52:41.914-07:002011-07-23T07:52:41.914-07:00Thank you.

When I am finally feeling strong someone will make a comment about me putting on weight(not in a bad way) but it makes ED come back with a vengance. I also hate that everywhere I look there is diet advice and ways to "burn more calories". My RD just decreased my exercise and as terrifying as it is, I find myself relieved. It is horrible to have your first thought in the morning be about having to workout. Not getting to..but having to. I ran myself into the ground, developed a low heart rate, stress fractures and loss of period(which is still gone) and know that I will never again do that to myself. ED is strong..but I have to be stronger. <br /><br />Ps. I also hate when people say I look healthy. ED says that it means I am fat and a failure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
