Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! While I’ve been lucky in that I’ve never had a full-blown ED, my years of yo-yo dieting have definitely screwed up my relationship with food. Fighting against disordered eating in any form is an on-going battle.

amen. this describes a lot of people’s lives very clearly and explicitely! no day with ed is easy some are better than others but each day is pretty much a challenge and fighting against it makes us even stronger. keep fighting AGAINST ed girl- don’t give in ed is very sneakyyyy and totally insane thinking settles in when you stick by ed’s side! xo

I think understanding that the learning is possibly a life-long process IS making progress.

Well, I dealt with the worst of my anorexia back in 1999-2000 and I STILL don’t know how to listen to my body. The odd thing though is that it transitions to not knowing how to listen to my food demands, to in other instances where I am eating healthy and/or not stressing about the bad stuff, but conversely I am telling myself “not exercising enough – get off your ass!” At which point, I’ll over do it and injure myself in a marvelously stupid fashion.

Point is, I wish I could say I had an enlightened look to share, but ten years into it I’m still learning how to listen to my body as well (even when it talks to me with four-letter words).
