Yes I was horrified when I last relapsed it was just about 2.5 weeks and I was already freezing all the time, my skin went poor, and my digestion stopped. Do not bargain with restriction it is never worth it!! Your body will tell you!
Yes I've had this happen as well! It's actually what pushed me into fully trying to get better this time - my body seemed to just be shutting down at this point. Each time I try to start restricting again, my body freaks out even worse. Also - love seeing your cats in the videos! Always makes my day :)
This video is so helpful!! Thank you!!! I've been having aversion thoughts to restriction and I just couldn't put my finger on what exactly I was thinking/feeling. I'd just been feeling irritable with the idea of restricting but didn't explore it anymore than that and didn't understand that feeling. This completely sums it up and has helped me understand (and therefore feel more comfortable and relaxed with) myself. THANK YOU
Lmao I'm slowly learning to accept my body will be having none that restriction nonsense. But plenty of healthy people who never had EDs get quite out of sorts if they missed a meal that day, so really shouldn't surprise me.
I'm in a similar place, and I think I've puzzled out that it probably means I've eked into the lower end of my body's healthy weight range. I'm fine most of the time, but any teensy weensy weight loss or reduction of intake and all the BS comes back. Gotta build up some more stores, feel like I'm walking a tight rope here
Yessssssss! I hate restriction!!! Just like after my last recovery. But since March I've had to bring my kid to kindergarten again. On foot. 5km round-trip every day. If I pick them up, too, it's 10km. 😅 I haven't lost any weight, but a few days ago I got bloated suddenly and fatigue hit me in the middle of the day. And I even got some edema in my legs. 😱😱😱 I'm not sure what to do, since I can't solve the kindergarten issue. But it seems I have to eat more again. Which is okay! 👌But the bloating and fatigue really surprised me. 😲😭 I've been kind of carefree the last two months, living on café au lait in the morning. Seems I need the everything-diet from breakfast again. 😆It's Easter so I'm going to bake and cook like crazy anyways. 😋
Hi Tabitha, quick question: did you ever want to have children? Just curious because that was my major motivation to recover. Or did you never really desire them? I know how much you love your horses but I'm always curious about this with people who have recovered/are recovering. Xx
Tabs I wonder why the quality of your videos changes every time? :D Nothing to point out, Im just curious what do you use for your recordings! Also, thank you for answering those e-mails and keeping this channel up! I watch you all the time and I can't even describe how much you've helped me even if you didn't know about my existence before ;)
