ED recovery thread for mommys who want to be healthy

[hectictoc]

I have changed my name mainly I want to start new with my Birthday as well as having a fresh outlook on life...much more relaxed one hopefully.

Anybody want to join me on creating support thread for recovering bulimics/anorexic/binge eaters/ etc...?? I started being bulimic about 10 years ago and when I discovered that I became pregnant with LO about two years ago, I stopped. My ED is much better but I find that I'm emotionally very weak (some days are better than others) and little things that I can't control seem to upset me. Anybody in similar situation? It would be nice to post anxiety about what we look and feel like and having tips on healthy relationships with food, emotions, etc.
Things that I do these days:

• ask myself before I eat, if I'm hungry or thirsty or upset
• eat healthy things with my baby
• sometimes I'm upset and looking for food without knowing why - I wait 2/3 days being hysterical, then I discover real reason for what I'm upset about. (I become extremely emotional and may cry a lot, but that's okay.)
• start food diary
• if I fail one day, I give myself a break...must accept that one can't get better immediately.

It would be great if we could help one another, and big welcome to very wise people who have completely recovered to give us hope!

((((((((((((((((ht)))))))))))))))) have not been in your situation but i am sure that you are not on your own on mnxxxx

I had eating problems for about 15 years,and when I was eventually treated with Prozac, I got better. That is now over 15 years ago, and I've never looked back.

After 2 babies, and middle age crashing round my ankles, I've put on quite a lot of weight, but frankly so what? Who the hell cares about the size of my bum?

A food diary is a really good idea. Eating problems are horrible, and if you are not already getting professional help, it may well be worth looking into. I spent too long in the wilderness, and wasted so many years being eaten up by food!
