Coping with Eating Disorder thoughts
Hey!
I have so little knowledge and really haven't seen much about eating disorder coping strategies except distractions which really don't help for me. I have anorexia and would like to start on my recovery road :)
Any tips welcome :) How does everyone else fight their eating disorders?

Hi love! I hope you're feeling okay! I didn't exactly go through anorexia, but it was something similar. The road to recovery is a long, hard process, but it's completely worth it in the end, love!🌷 I'm sorry to say but there is no real 'strategy' as it works differently for everyone,, :< The first thing to change is your mindset -- try identifying what causes you to not want to eat, is it because of beauty standards? (if it is, please remember that we do not have to conform to any beauty standards or have the 'perfect, ideal' body. Who is to say that you are skinny/fat? beautiful/ugly? Certainly not people on social media!) The other thing to remember is that your body is made to be loved and cared for, babes! It is something that protects you and keeps you safe from the outer world, it brings you to places and allows you to see beautiful things everyday, so please remember to treasure it love! 🤍 I'm so so proud of you for coming onto here and acknowledging your eating disorder + sharing your story with us love! I wish you the best of luck on your road to recovery and please feel free to PM me (if you want!)
