I have been in recovery now from anorexia for 4 years. Email me if you have specifc questions to gain a healthy lifestyle or just chat with someone who has been there.
Yes you just have to try really hard
No, I believe there is always that problem. The reason people can become successful is to stop listening to their inner thoughts, and tune out the nagging voice inside saying, "don't eat that."
They tune it out, and live on. It's still there, but, they become strong enough to live on throughout life.
Sure, when I was 4-8 I barely ate anything, and I guess one day I got hungry so I started eating more and now I don't look like some ugly anorexia person. I'm right where I should be.
Yes, you can. You can be just as healthy as before your disorder ever started. It takes understanding the disease and what caused it, and taking action to regain control from the disease. Through understanding and action, a person can overcome the obstacle. And like any other obstacle in life, you'll have it to look back on. It's in the looking back that you can decide if you're a stronger person for having recovered or a weaker person for having ever succumbed to it.
I don't have personal experience, however I suspect that it's a bit like being alcoholic, you recover but the tendency is still there and you have to maintain awareness not to let yourself slip back into bad habits.
My sister had both nervosa and bulimia. After a lot of therapy she got over it, but she had to deal with the underlying cause of why she was doing this to herself as opposed to just dealing with the eating disorder.
She is 100% now, so the answer is yes.
yes but you need to see the Dr but coming on here you have showed you know you need help which is good see Dr good luck
