For anorexics, once they start losing weight they become too focused on food and weight and body and need to focus on being healthy and have a normal body/weight and not restrict. It's hard to get out of the cycle of restricting calories its like a drug- feels good in the moment, but doesn't help you but harms you in the long run. We need help because of this and have a team of therapists dieticians psychiatrists etc
I don't know too much about bulimics and binge eaters but its all the same idea. Our eating habits are out of control and we need help dealing with them and our other life problems differently so we can get our lives back.

∙ 14y agoEating disroders are difficult to deal with because it affects a person on so many levels. There is the health concern to take into account. But it is also very mental. And mental disorders or mental distress is very difficult and hard to deal with and come to terms with. It is also harder to treat mental distress and to change the way the mind thinks and works than it is to change a physical health aspect of a person. Also, anorexia tends to affect those around the person who suffers from the disorder. Often they isolate themselves, or are harmful to those around them.

∙ 10y agoThe absolute very best thing for a person with an eating disorder to do is get themselves to a 12-step meeting for people suffering from eating disorders.
These groups know exactly what the sufferer is going through because they are all living with the same disorder(s), although each may be at a different stage of recovery/functionality. The principles they espouse are rock-solid. It's an ingenious program. No matter how smart or well-educated a doctor is, he/she is looking at you and your disorder... from the outside.
