I'm so sorry you have to feel that you're alone in this. Hope that you're family can see that you're doing the right thing for you! <3 Has your anxiety about not exercicing decreased during these weeks?

Thank you Anna! I'll be honest, I haven't quit the yoga. I'm torn between how good it feels and the feeling like I need to do it daily. I don't think it's a good thing to not let go of that, BUT it helps so much with my mobility and feeling flexible. I need to find a middle ground somewhere. Thanks for asking. I wish I could say otherwise. This may well be part of my problem.

Also...you know the logic of things but still feel all the emotions for quite a while and then just like the gradual changes with the food, you also start to feel the changes with the body and your emotions. Everything is very slow so the most important things are patience (huge learning curve for me) and self compassion! X

Thank you! I would welcome the ED voice fading so much! Just seems to be getting louder as I get bigger. I KNOW it's because I haven't let go of that desire to be thin and the belief that it's better even though I am working against it. It gives me GREAT hope to see you write about the changes being gradual. Sometimes it feels like a switch just needs to be flipped but I can't find it.

@@allinrecoveryproject6703 Rome wasn't built in a day! It takes time. There is no flip switch. It is a very gradual process. I know how you are feeling, I have been there and I can only tell you that your brain needs time to change those neural pathways. Keep saying the positive affirmations and notice all those negative thoughts so you can start to change them. Keep eating and keep resting. It is a full time job and you need patience and self compassion in abundance! You also need to trust the process and trust your body..it knows best! You are only at the beginning and you are doing do well..keep going...fight that ed voice and keep doing the opposite. When the voice is screaming you know you are are getting it worried! Be brave, have courage and keep moving into the fear! You are changing things with your actions. Xx

You are not alone! You are doing so well. Keep going! The ED voice will start screaming at you because it is fearful of losing the battle...it does fade eventually and then becomes silent! Big hugs for you!! Xx

This resonates so much! It's nice to hear someone near my age to talk about this since I feel that many recovery journey blogs are by girls around 25 years old. You are so beautiful and I love your commitment. <3 I'm in the same place with compulsive movement: having the fear and thinking what happens if I stop moving. My brain keeps telling me that "exercise is good for you" and although I now all about neural rewiring I can't say no to this compulsion.

Thank you so much for watching! I felt like I wanted to see something like this…someone actually going through it. That’s why I’m reaching outside of my comfort zone to do this. I really hope that it is helpful.
