I Have Relapsed Back Into Anorexia

I've struggled with anorexia for about 12 years now. I made such good progress in recovery until I weighed myself one day and realized I gained 20 pounds. Now I find myself trying to lose that same 20 pounds. I don't want to be stuck in this vicious cycle anymore.

I'm sorry you're relapsing. I hope you are doing better at this point. It's such a hard journey and it's one many people don't get. It feels like it's always coming back to haunt you but I think you can do this. You are beautiful!!

Do you know your ideal/healthy weight? Can you just try and aim for that range?

That's so good, because that really is what's so important -- not counting every last calorie and weighing yourself obsessively. And if you can believe that, you're doing great.

Sorry for your suffering! Not from my personal experience but I know from other's ' experiences how hard it is. Is therapy helping you?

I'm doing a lot better now. I'm focusing on being more healthy rather than how much I weigh or what size I wear. I feel so much better about myself.

Therapy helps but sometimes I'm resistant.
