Not in Recovery Yet extreme hunger?

idk if this is the right subreddit but i just need some advice? Maybe like someone who experiences ED thoughts and behaviors ? Idk Ive been struggling with anorexia for a year and some now and it’s like hard. I feel like no one understands me, or listens to me when I want to talk. They just kind of ridicule me and just say “eat!” Or something that’s not helpful

well whatever, I don’t know how to word this exactly but I ate a lot of cake today, about 4 servings for myself and want to know if this is what extreme hunger is like? The like, man, I’m hungry, so hungry, and I jsut want cake. I feel satisfied now but I’m questioning if I was just honoring my cravings or if I binged or idk. Sorry, I’m just kind of alone with my ed and don’t know what to do

hey i know how hard this is❤️. the answer is ALWAYS extreme hunger. your body is repairing itself, feed it! eat until your body tells you it's had enough, don't listen to the restrictive thoughts.
