Not only that. Once you give yourself the permission to eat something even something healthy. It’s even after you’ve eaten it. There is the guilt because your head is still giving you the rules. Which have been broken. It’s really such a hard mental struggle. I’ve been in recovery now for the better part of 30 years. We do get better. But it’s always still there and very much a part of how you think and deal with food.
Another thing people don't understand is that my recovery from eating disorders is still hard after 3 years. I had it for 25 years and so many recoveries. God wants us to treat our bodies like a temple and i pray for everyone's recovery.
