You have to treat an eating disorder with food first!
But for many of us eating is so hard! We get intense anxiety leading up to a meal. We get bombarded with eating disorder thoughts — bargaining, compromising, doubting — and threats while we are eating. We get battered with more of the same after we have finished eating. We don’t have anyone who understands really what it is like and this makes us feel alone, and crazy!
Well, now you do.
Having someone who “gets it” with us while we are eating helps to reduce the anxiety, stress and overall feelings of loneliness and helplessness. This allows us to get the vital nutrition that we need in order to make a full recovery and also gives us the strength we need to keep pushing on with every meal and every snack
