Quick question about recovery, I know the minimum calorie intake should be around 2500-3000 minimum, but how many grams of carbs and fat would you say should be the minimum? Please don't tell me there isn't any minimum because I like guidelines. Also, does anorexia (or any ed) have a link to deteriorating, and if so, does it get better after recovery? Or is this just my eyesight generally getting worse? Thanks! x

I’m sorry but that is what I am going to tell you. You should not count macros. What do you mean by deteriorating?  Sight deterioration? I’m not sure - I haven’t heard of it before being linked.

Hi I love ur website it is brill! I have just started recovery and my legs and tummy and face are all bloated please tell me this will stop? Also I have been eating soooo much like 5ooo+ calories a day but the thing is I am. Jot even hungry it just feels like I am eating because I have too but at the same time I am a bottomless pit no amount of food fills me up! I don't think this is extreme hunger but what is it?

I've struggled with AN for a couple of years now and lost all freedom and natural eating behaviour. I know it's normal for an ED... But I weight restored and then restricted again many times and somehow I can't find a balance where my body maintains by itself. I keep gaining and then I relapse. I don't know why I do this. I don't want an ED, but I feel so lost and have no idea how to eat normally and unrestricedly without gaining...

It seems like you feel safe with any kind of extremes. You say you don’t want an ED - but do you want to be normal? Or is it normality that scares you? Are you afraid you’re not special enough if you are “just normal”? Do you fear losing attention or care?

All these things scared me when I was in quasi recovery and slipped from better to worse phases and all over again. I just didn’t want to let go of my ED even though I wanted to be free at the same time.

What I can tell you is that being normal is nothing bad. It’s not true that eating too less or too much or weighing more or less makes you a more special or different person.

Try to find and appreciate your actual qualities. Is it a beautiful, heart warming smile? Curly, cute looking hair? Being able to always listen to someone and have the right words?

I am sure you’re a special person with wonderful character treats - discover them and stop defining yourself through your eating behavior <3
