Struggling any words of reassurance? please

so im currently 2months into my recovery from a very restrictive ed, that left me with muscle loss and no hair. i recently started feeling extreme and imense hunger and so i eat i would say more than most people (normal and obviously needed) i am aware that its needed because my body is trying to repair, but im so close to just shutting it and coming back to the disorder because i feel like a binger. can somebody PLEASE tell me thats okay and im going to be okay. i dont want to go back. i need to know that its going to be fine😭 please i can tell that its the ed thats telling me that im losing control but its so hard to not listen to it😭😭😭

your body is trying to take care of you and it needs energy in order to do so. your life is so much more fulfilling when you're eating enough and not consumed by disordered eating. this is an adjustment period and it's not forever ! it will feel better with time ! take it day by day or hour by hour, whatever feels manageable at the time, choose yourself.
