Ed recovery?Problems/Advice, help..?

I have had E.D. since i was about 6 years old, it was simply just thinking ';when Im older, I'll be really thin';, I always was watching my every movement, in-case it made me look ';fat';, which I was actually underweight when I was that age.(Looking back on pictures you could tell) What triggered my E.D. was sexual abuse I had for 2-3years, almost everyday from my Grandfather, plus emotional abuse from my Father and my Brother, plus Peers at school.


I am only a teenager(14-16) I would write my age but, I also am way paranoid, and anyone else with an eating disorder can relate.


I go through cycles on gaining weight(Monthly binging and purging) When that happens I force myself to eat thinking this is all I will be good at.. EATING.


Then I'll start a fast, water fast, liquid fast, Juice fast, You name it, That will continue for a week, then I'll stop putting anything in my body for weeks, only a little water everyday, sometimes a piece of an orange(One slice from it). Its a terrible cycle. And honestly I am so sick of it, Im sick of being SICK!


So I decided im going to make meal plans, and times in a notebook that I must fallow everyday, I also put two different ones to choose from, in-case im having a ';Omg, Im so fat'; type day.





Right now im doing a day water fast(Because I was feeling overwhelmed) But im starting tomorrow, with my meal plans.


(Every meal plan is under 400 calories, I know it is ';bad', but I have to start somewhere)





I really want to get better and well, so do you think this plan would work? Any one else try Self Recovery?


Does any one have any tips for motivation to prevent fall-backs?


And do you think it is a good idea to start taking ';Digestive Enzymes';, ';Probiotic's';, and ';Ginger Root'; pills?





AND if you have any self experiences with overcoming E.D. PLEASE SHARE.Ed recovery?Problems/Advice, help..?
Eating disorder is a very hard thing to overcome. Sometimes triggered by depression, which is what I think caused yours. (Guessing that you were sexually/verbally abused). Know that you aren't alone; nor are you the only person in the world. Thousands of teens around your age having eating disorders and paranoia. I am very proud of you that you are taking action and making meal plans. You should be very proud of yourself too. See, the first step to getting better is to realize you have a problem, and the second is to take action. Your doing something about it; which is good. I highly suggest getting on some sort of pill; and seeing a doctor/psychiatrist. They can definitely help you. I'm positive you will overcome it. Good luck to you and God bless you. :)Ed recovery?Problems/Advice, help..?
You need to see a dietician. Recovery is such a difficult process, there is almost no way to avoid relapses without some help. A 400 calorie meal plan is very restrictive, but atleast you have a plan. Try to start by planning 3 meals with 3 snacks a day. Grains, Nuts, and lean meats are a must!
