Is anorexia recovery a choice: REVISITED

- A revision of my ideas in my first video ('Is anorexia recovery a CHOICE').
It has been almost three years since I made that video so a lot has changed for me since then. As always I don't believe the choice factor in eating disorder recovery is simple and straightforward, it is painful and challenging, but I feel that that element does exist the further you progress with recovery.

made me cry
please help , my daughter has anorexia but wants to go to university to train as a vet but cant eat without me being with her. she has so many plans and gets depressed because she knows there's no way the doctor's will allow her to go. she has just started therapy. how can I help.you look amazing well done.x
Honestly it will be very difficult for her to go if she is so dependent on you around food. I was exactly the same before I went to uni though, I ate with my mum everyday before and after school and that becomes such a routine for the anorexic mind. Therapy is great, but she needs to want to get better herself, and that motivation will drive her further forwards with recovery. For me this didn't come until extensive periods of therapy. But everyone is different and with the goal of going to uni to be a vet she may have extra determination and strength to fully commit to recovery. It's so difficult because if you let her 'practice' eating her meal plan for a day without your support it's easy to take that as an opportunity to not eat, however she needs to get used to instigating meal times by herself; otherwise when she gets to uni she will just get worse. Maybe try talking to her properly about it and try to understand how she feels about being alone. You could discuss her cooking more with you, or maybe inviting friends over to eat to get used to being around different/more people at meal times. Eating at uni is often quite social and being in halls was so challenging for me.
The best thing to do is be open with her and try to have an honest conversation about moving forwards and planning her taking control of mealtimes. However if she isn't in a position to do this yet you could always defer university for a year and dedicate that year to recovery?
Please let me know if you have any more questions. Love xx
