Health Weight?

Question

Hi! So I've come into the realization that I used to have anorexia. I didn't know it at the time, but am starting to struggle with it again. How do you know how much to eat when you want to stay a good weight? I want to eat food but can't stop once I start, but on the flip side I will starve myself if I feel fat. Help!

Answer

When I was in recovery, looking at “What I eat in A day” vidéos from recovered and in recovery anorexics, helped me gauge what was normal to get to a healthy weight and stay there. Of course your diet can differ, but it’s a good place to start looking at what is “normal” and most importantly healthy.

Answer

I've been on both sides, the bingeing and the anorexia.  I think it's important first to find what drives you to be the best and healthiest you. If you don't find that first, it will be hard to stay on track. For me, it was the realization that I wanted children. As an anorexic, I did not have my period, and children were not a possibility. Today, they keep me wanting to be healthy for them. My organs had been shutting down and I had been killing myself to be thin.  My children love their mother no matter what.  I find more acceptance of who I am through them then I could ever find in any man (including my husband).  Find what will keep you strong through even the toughest times. Best wishes.

Answer

Nobody can tell you how much you need to eat, everyone is different. My advice is to go to a nutritionist. They help a lot. 
Nobody here can help you affectively because we don’t know you.

Answer

you could go to a dietician/nutritionist and get on a meal plan, they always know what’s best (as long as you tell them everythinggggg) best of luck xo

Answer

This hits me on a personal level. Ok so the fact that you realise and have realised you have been struggling with food over the years is a good sign. Even though it may not feel like it but your already on the road to recovery. My advice would be not to see weight or food as good or bad. 
The truth is:
Not many people have a great relationship with food- you may never.
A good weight doesn't exist - a healthy weight isnt just a number on a set of scales, or fitting into specific clothing, being skinny etc. It's individual, talk to a specialist or your doctor.
Most people under eat and over eat when they are stressed, depressed,etc - what changed for you?
I have suffered my whole life with weight. It turned out that I had underlying health issues. Some that needed to be dealt with asap. It's ok to pig out on food or have days where you just dont feel hungry however its not ok to ignore it.
