I've been in recovery from bulimia for a year or more.
I've just undergone a stressful house move, starting a new job, planning Christmas, plus a court case hanging over my head (historical child abuse) etc. I've lost quite a bit of weight, without meaning to. I haven't been b/ping, starving- it's just normal stress!
However, people have gotten wind of it. DH and my friend (second mom almost) cornered me in the kitchen yesterday afternoon, to give me a half hour lecture about how I'd make myself ill again, stop this now, please, etc.
DH has lost weight too! It just seems as if, every time I lose a pound (exaggeration) I get people's backs up!
I sort of get it: they worry, and I love them for it. None of them have had an ED, so I guess they find it hard to tell the difference between normal weight loss (I'm overweight btw) and "Anna" screaming at me, iyswim?
How do I convince them I'm not sick again?
Ironically, until yesterday, I was proud that, throughout all the stress, I HAVEN'T relapsed. My arms are still clean too! An achievement!
