How are you commited to recovery?

Hey everyone! I just wanted to know what everone is doing to facilitate their own recovery? I am making sure that I get all my calories each day, at least 1000 each day. I am also journaling and writing down what happened that lead to my illness, as a way of therapy. What about you?

I will definitely do so! Now I'm exhausted. I walked so much. It disconnects me from my feelings so now I have to focus on making up for the calories and resting. I will try tomorrow to get into a better pattern because this is a distraction…

Sitting through the emotional pain is hard. Then to top it off with physical pain! I've discovered I CANNOT eat any stimulants. Spices for some odd reason really change my mood. I still crave them. I'm having a hard time always staying…

I would just reccomend journaling about what was going on before you ate. How was your day? What else went on today that may have contributed to your mood? I generally take out my frustrations of things I don't know how to articulate in areas…

If all you can manage is fruit right now, then just eat fruit. I think it is important that you are eating right now, and you can tweek your diet as your intestines become stronger. Don't give up with eating ok? It will only make it harder in…
