Kate Spalding Thank you so much for your encouragement. Allow me, if I may, to send encouragement back to you -- Oh, wow, I do understand that you have had a life's-worth of imprisonment, and you can recover! Even after so many years: you simply deserve all the food and rest you can get. Plus, I do believe that life post-recovery will surpass our highest hopes! I appreciate your comment, truly. All my best back to you!
@Yves Gucci Thank you so much for your encouragement. I realize that I have been a total dud with regard to my RUclips presence for the past 4+ months. What scandalous behavior on my part. ... I do plan to upload again before the year has ended, however, so be on the lookout. Until that time, though, I reassure you, that even at age 50 now (yikes!), I pursue unrestricted eating. My recovery has taken ages, but, some of us need more time to heal. Not more time to restrict -- no, that should fly off the agenda ASAP -- but more time to rest, eat loads, and reset our thought patterns. Oops, sorry for the long sermon. I just thank you for your support, and I send my support in return, to you. P.S. For me, the "all in" method really does work, and I'm old and short. Okay, ahem, enough from me for now...
I’m grateful for you sharing your story. I am also a long-time anorexic, also in quasi-recovery. Now 34 and a man, it feels somewhat strange still being in this situation as an adult.... having now been ‘in it’ for about 18 years. The road is hard, especially for those of us with these deep seeded restrictions. So hard to unlearn what has been the rule for so long.
@Adam Waddington Hey there, Adam -- thank you for replying; I truly appreciate your words of encouragement. I know exactly how frustrating this disease can get, so I understand your own frustration, especially after working so hard only to get stuck in this quasi-recovery place. Indeed, after over a decade of dealing with anorexia, the disease has lodged itself in my brain, and I relate to the world through an anorexic lens. Crazy and difficult to extract myself from, but also do-able. I realize that males in recovery may have a slightly more difficult road, because the internet and treatment centers both, if I may say it, lack specific support for males. Overall, men, women, and gender non-binary share the same exact fears and desires, but the details differ; I get that. Whatever the case, I have personal encouragement for you: Pretzel M&Ms!
Thank-you for discussing migration theory. I'm a huge follower of Tabitha, Kayla, as well as Stephanie Buttermore and Becky Freestone. I'm 46 and have been battling a severe chronic restrictive eating disorder with bulimic sub-type (anorexia + overexercise) since I was 23
thanks so much for shawing...im in middle 30s and also suffer it 20+ years once more once less and still didnt win it once it seems it s over enough small triger or stress come and its back..i suffre it daily being honest...society usualy cares only abou teens an grils around 20 who suffer it...thing is many guys and grown women suffer aslo..no like average peoel think that only young girls...us who suffer it so long irs more dificutl for us to overcome but at leeast we can get better mentally and physically
