Hello all, this story is not here to evoke sympathy or pity - it's to seek advice and comfort.
After having struggled with disordered eating in the form of anorexia binge/purge subtype for about two years, including therapy and a so-called recovery, I am now at a point where I must make a choice. I decided to try healthy eating and exercising as a way to lose weight, but was triggered by the lack of progress. I have lost approximately 6lbs in the past five days due to a relapse. I've been in extreme denial about said relapse; trying to convince myself the caloric deficit is only because of the healthy food - that it's natural. Of course this isn't true because I've not only been following a general 1200 calorie weight loss diet, I've been restricting within this already-low diet. I am starting to return to my old ways, and I just need some advice, some love, anything.
