i lost all my internal cues like hunger, fullness, cravings. i have absolutely no appetite nor desire to eat but i also never feel full. i hope they’ll eventually come back so i can intuitively eat eventually. and i’ve been eating consistently and maintaining my pre ED weight for 4 months....maybe have to give it more time

[@daydreamingunicorns8054]

How are you doing today?

[@jasmijnschepers3739]

I'm the same way. If you just keep eating and taking care of yourself it goes back to normal. Don't worry.

[@vqxm7]

how are your hunger cues now?

Oh my goodness ! This was so helpful! So many of your past thoughts, are exactly how I think now. Thank you for filming this. So inspiring

[@larasc8944]

So happy to see you glowing! Congratulations on how far you‘ve come. I‘m four months all in, my extreme hunger is gone, my body balanced out and I don’t have ED thoughts that often anymore. I will work further, because being at this point right now shows me that full recovery is possible. 💜 Sending lots of encouragement to everyone who’s in recovery too, you can do this. And trust me it’s worth it. Even my body dysmorphia improved until now. I’m so happy it did ✨

[@HuongTran-jg7tw]

I wish I had you here by my side. You are so inspirational, you practice what you preach and you're glowing like crazy. Meanwhile, I am still stuck in quasi and I just don't know how to break out of it. One day I have so much determination I go all the way in and then the guilt just gushes over me and I am back in square 1. I succeeded once, fully gave myself the unconditional permission to eat and regained my menstruation, but quite unnoticeably I relapsed and this time my weight drops even way more rapidly despite my occasional attempt to eat to my satiety. I know I need to make a constant conscious effort to fight IT every single day but it's just so damn hard. I'm so disappointed in myself.

[@eggandplant3682]

Have you checked out Tabitha Farrar's channel? I highly-recommend going through all of her videos. As for your constant relapses, please be gentle to yourself instead of beating yourself up, everyday is a new chance for you to grasp onto recovery.

[@HuongTran-jg7tw]

@@eggandplant3682 oh long time no update, I have recovered 🥰. Receiving treatment for months and supported by family, I managed to push myself through the fear and reestablish a normal relationship with food. Now I hang out and enjoy life without fixating on numbers and apperance obsession. I gradually normalized my extreme hunger after a few months of all in, regained my period and became less cranky. Now I balance my meals with mostly nutrious food. Guess what, life isn't all about food anymore and it's amazing.

[@eggandplant3682]

@@HuongTran-jg7tw oh dear that makes me so happy to hear! I've only been one week into unrestricted eating and is really pushing through. Wishing you all the best in life Huong :)

It’s very helpful,Thanks! Love from Ukraine 🇺🇦😀🙌

[@beaudeneschmetz6355]

Im doing really really really well with the eating part, but my life is still miserable because I’m trapped in my ocd and LLM. I’m gaining weight super fast already and I feel very uncomfortable in my new body. Also I never experience physical hunger even tho I’m in recovery for 3-4 months now. I eat about 6-10K each day (not counting, but I can estimate) and that’s purely mental hunger (I thinks, I don’t even know if it’s mental hunger or if it’s just my new “normal” to binge a couple times per day). The only way I can physically eat all this stuff (so I can satisfy my mental hunger) is by staying active. So I want to eat a lot, don’t have the physical capacity, therefore I move a lot, which keeps me trapped in behaviors and the Ed. Don’t know if this makes any sense. Also I’m at a healthy weight!

[@adylie963]

You look amazing! I suffered from anorexia, now it's more like orthorexia

[@Sonia-ds6sc]

If you’ve been in recovery for a while why do I get so hungry all the time and have a big appetite. Afterwards I usually feel bad too. Also, how do you know if you’re at your set point? You can dm me on Instagram if it’s better

[@AlejandraRodriguez-wo6hm]

What do you think about muscle weight and fat ? I feel like I’m skinny fat and should exercise. But I don’t have a period so I feel confused should I exercise I only walk and do body weight workouts nothing to intense Did you quit exercise I’m 5’2 and 85 pounds 16 years

[@sofiaalmeida7500]

Sorry, you shouldn't mencione your weight in this type of videos, please edit your comment, leave out that information, this is kind of a rule among this community. Also, you can die because of exercise when you're underweight. Once my heart went so crazy i thought i was going to have a heart attack. You can only start gaining muscle after you gain weight. It's super hard, but it will get better. Don't forget you're great.

[@swb1327]

Do you have any advice for males ?? I know you’re a girl but I love your videos. And I can’t find any guys who have gone through this. I’m 5’6 114 pounds.

[@chilltalkswellbeing]

it‘s exactly the same. eat and rest as much as possible. eat whenever you think about food.

[@Ella-ps1lg]

Emma, My only food cravings are for gluten based foods (I have coeliac disease too) Did you suffer from this at all in recovery?

[@recoveredbakes3675]

Ella I did! Try and find as many gf alternatives as possible! I even went to the extreme of baking gluten free alternatives! Xx

[@AndyRk]

I dont know if i have an ed. I went from 70kg to 50kg in 4 months and im a 172cm 17 year old boy. I Get so insecure when it comes to food. How much should i eat? Is it okay if i eat 3000 calories for one day? I was at a bmi of 17.5 and i have now gained 2kg. Food is always on my mind and im always freezing on my hands!

[@chilltalkswellbeing]

these are typical eating disorder ‚symptoms‘. check out tabitha farrar on youtube. but in general: eat as much as you can and don‘t do any exercise until you feel good and not food obsessed anymore

[@madisontaylor8921]

How old are you

[@elyseirwin2587]

Question...how do you go about and convincing yourself that exercising obsessively is not good and does not give you permission to eat

[@larasc8944]

I used mantras like „I need a lot of rest & food to heal. Resting is my medicine for my excercise addiction and food is my medicine for my ED. There isn’t a thing like too much resting (and food) in recovery. I need this.“ Also I asked myself „is this a disordered thought?“ by acknowledging the ED thought it felt easier to start opposite action. At first it feels uncomfortable to sit with the feeling but it will pass, I promise. And it will decreases when you are constant in doing your opposite actions. You can do this!!

[@elyseirwin2587]

Lara sc that’s so very helpful! Thank you

[@ayseceleb8173]

Hey Emma, I'm hoping after I do my exams to e a recovery coach too. If it's possible, I'd like to have a talk via instagram or something. If you're okay with that I'll give u my account name.

Why would you still eat if you’re really really full?

[@drippy2489]

mental hunger..?

[@makyd6275]

Emma did you ever weight yourself when you went all in? My parents blind weight me...I DO NOT want to know my weight!!!!But my father wants me to....stupid! And now,do you know your weight?

[@recoveredbakes3675]

Maky D I did in the beginning, now that I look back at it was all ED reasons, I now don’t weigh myself (unless it’s professionally by a doctor) You don’t need to know your weight , it’s unimportant and will only make you feel worse! Xx

[@makyd6275]

​@@recoveredbakes3675 and today my father told me that I need to get a nutritionist because I am gaining too quickly :((((((( FUCK THAT!!!

[@genius2655]

Maky D Yes! Fuck that! I gained 4kg in the first two days of my recovery, and by the end of the first two weeks I had gained 8-9kg. I’m now up 14-17kg from that starting point.

[@user-qb4eb8vq5u]

If you stop gaining weight at one point, why do people who end up housebound bc they never stop eating for years bc their hunger is ALWAYS on and they become over 600 lb? I know this is an extreme example but no one can answer this question for me 🤷‍♀️

[@MakeUpByJenniferW]

Most people on 600lb say have binge eating disorder, and even when you're not hungry you will binge on thousands of calories and you're usually out of control doing this, and for people of that size it's usually an everyday thing.

[@maimoonajanbaaz5352]

the funny thing is you don't accept you are having an eating disorder, despite watching dozens of recovery videos on youtube

[@oshiplays2271]

Great video! i just liked and subbed, want to be youtube friends?
