 i cant wait for more cookies in my future, that arent 'heathy cookies' but a real old fashioned big cookie :P lol Eggy sings *You, me and a Parisian Patisserie...* Yes, I rhyme too ;-p Well done all! I ate breakfast with my mum which I dont usually do because a)she doesnt eat it and b) i hate how tiny her normal portions are in comparison to my 600cal feast of oats nuts etc etc. still, just told myself, im gaining she...

Original Post by no_audience : Did you self-diagnose your IBS?   I have severe IBS, which is formally diagnosed, and I was prescribed medication to take 3 times a day, half an hour before meals to allow me to eat most dairy. Hey no_audience -- just to get clinical, IBS is not a diagnosis. Irritable bowel syndrome is of "no known etiology" which is doctor-speak for there is no underlying disease or condition causing your...

Find a different doctor and ask them.   Yours sounds rather inadequate.  

We all have habits and characteristics that we have to watch throughout our lives so that we can attempt to be healthy and reasonably happy.  Yours at this moment is making sure that you listen to your rational voice and eat enough. As far as the nutritionist goes, I'm a little bit puzzled.  Why the nutritionist instead of your psychiatrist?  Are you trying to come up with a better meal plan while you're...

I agree with what the others have said. It's not pleasant having others comment on your eating like that, but it is a normal part of conversation and usually reflects on the person who is talking, not you. For example, this afternoon a couple of hours after lunch I said to my boyfriend, "I'm starting to get hungry again." He replied, "How on earth can you be hungry? I am soooo full!!" I reminded him that my lunch...

thanks, Hedgren. I understand your point. I think I feel anxious when I start to think about leaving my place to live with strangers in another apt. or living alone in a place where I might feel very lonely. Yesterday, I emailed the lady who offered me a room in her apt, and asked if she would be ok with me cooking my meals in the kitchen? and guess what? she started to ask me questions like how many times I will be in the kitchen and that...

This is an old thread, but I will post this regardless because other people reading this post may find it useful (even if the OP has forgotten about the post by now!) I have been weight restored  and eating consistently enough calories every single day for a couple of years now, and I still cannot eat intuitively. Food has been associated with too many other things for us to only use it as a fuel source. At least for a long time. I...

Original Post by jannid : Non-recovery ED posters are triggering to those in recovery, and this is the main reason that they are treated firmly and differently than those that have other mental issues.  Im not talking about these people, Im talking about those who are inrecovery, seeking answers and support
