Hi! I've talked about extreme hunger before, but it was such a challenging part of my recovery that I want to talk about it again. I hope this video is helpful, sending you lots of love xx

Hii ! I am in the same siutation as you, I eat a lot, I have now a plus "healthy weight" ( overshoot) but I still have extreme hunger... So difficult to deal with it. How did you cope with it ? LOU

[@kemoywilliams380]

Could someone please tell me how to tell when the extreme hunger is over?

Gosh I can't remember what I said in this video but I'm glad it's helpful! Extreme hunger doesn't last forever (thank goodness) as long as you keep eating lots! ☺

I'm experiencing it now. I'm ill and I'm not allowed out of the house. I'm scared to eat as I have only just started recovery, but I can't stop. I feel awful. I ate 2 bowls of porridge at 11pm cuz I was that physically hungry and then I was still hungry. It is awful. I don't want to end up back in hospital but I'm scared 😢❤

[@searchingforjewels9070]

It feels scary at the time but eating lots is the best thing you can do to avoid going back to hospital. I'm not surprised that you were still hungry after 2 bowls of porridge, I would still have been hungry too! I needed porridge and more on top of that- chocolate, biscuits, bread... It feels so awful, but you have to eat loads. You can tolerate those feelings. Do whatever you need to help you tolerate the feelings (as long as they are not ED behaviours of course)- cry, listen to music, do something creative, whatever you have to do. Eventually eating won't feel awful anymore. Sending you love xxx

@searchingforjewels thank you so much for your reply it makes me feel more normal with the knowladge iou have given me. The worst thing is just feeling like its only you. Your video was really helpful. Its just really hard because I'm having to challange fear foods at the same time. But I want my life back. I'm only 16 and have so much to live for. I just gotta push through that guilt x

[@sowhat.]

Hiii ! I hope you feel better now ! I'm also in an extreme hunger episode. Please keep going, you are not alone I swear :)💕 When it gets harder for me, I keep in mind that it's only "temporary" and it's a golden ticket to live a beautiful life after! Your body knows exactly what it has to do. You are young and I think you deserve a great life and lots of hapiness now :p "Calm after the storm" LOU
