For instance, ammenorhea is being eliminated as a necessary condition for the diagnosis of anorexia, so more NOS will be anorexia. And another new label--ARFID--avoidant restrictive food intake disorder will also minimize the NOS!<br /><br />That said, even if you don't quite fit a diagnosis your pain shouldn't be minimized!

Having the whole team in place can really make the difference.<br />As for fear of weight gain, I'll start with some simple advice: don't weigh yourself or discuss numbers with your treatment team for now. This may create a bit of anxiety, but it will allow you to focus on the benefits--physical, psychological, cognitive--that result with changes in eating and behaviors and allow you to continue to move forward.<br />Thanks for commenting!HikerRDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170145903147301280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-22107964556325647242013-06-01T21:52:37.811-07:002013-06-01T21:52:37.811-07:00Being unrecognized.... that's what a diagnosis...Being unrecognized.... that's what a diagnosis of EDNOS feels like.

Our minds can play such tricks on us...when is it over eating? vs. when is it a binge? I have found that I eat because I am unsatisfied, and then find myself sinking lower and lower as the cookies and cakes and wonderfully luxurious foods fail to satisfy the irking discontentment. What is it that lies beneath the binge eating? What is it we are REALLY hungry for? <br /><br />For many years I have struggled with disordered eating. After a full year in therapy, I have finally begun to realize that it's not just the food that is the problem. There is something deeper. Recently I have begun to take a medication for AD(H)D to potentially help with impulsivity, as mentioned in the post above. I finally feel like I can begin to have a moment before the binge begins to think to myself, How will this serve me? That brief instant is allowing me to intervene with the binge, and finally begin to chip away at what REALLY lies at the bottom of the eating disorder. <br /><br />This blog is wonderful! I first saw a mention of AD(H)D and binge eating/disordered eating on this blog, and it spurred me to further research the topic which has led me to finally begin moving forward after many stagnant months. So happy to have found this blog!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16446451745546637401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449641905298601952.post-44216717258354688262013-06-01T10:13:28.400-07:002013-06-01T10:13:28.400-07:00Lori,
