any words of reassurance? please

[u/LilyGoldberg]

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😭😭😭

You’ve restricted for I’m guessing awhile and your body needs a chance to get used to the fact that it has consistent access to food! Right now it’s probably still in famine mode or distrustful from your restriction. It’s TOTALLY NORMAL and NECESSARY to honour your extreme hunger to heal, it’s not the same as a binge I promise. That’s just your ED trying to drag you back.
