You say I’m “ambivalent”. But that’s what happens when the nhs mental health system is negligent with eating disorders.

I wouldn’t be alive if my gp last year hadn’t persuaded me to go to a&e. As my body had completely packed in.

Long term consequences of an ED are shit. Low estrogen causing my mood and body to be all over the place :(

Anorexia recovery = 4kg/ 8.8lbs of water retention in a week

When your legs are so swollen, tight, puffy and it hurts to stand in the mornings.

But I’m not and can not run back- because my physical health was in the gutter and I can’t put myself or family through 2024 again.

[Becca @beccaslovefor_]

Sometimes it’s choosing the next right thing because any intake is better than none.
The stomach pain, bloat and uncomfortableness is awful. Buscopan, peppermint capsules and hot water bottles are touching the recovery belly 😩

[Becca @beccaslovefor_]

The swelling in my ankles is seriously doing my head in 😩. Anyone got any recommendations to help ease it with refeeding?

[Becca @beccaslovefor_]

Really struggling with having increased my intake- especially carbs- with how I feel physically. My tummy is in bits. Bloat and water retention its just horrible. I want to give up 😭

[Becca @beccaslovefor_]

Last night I had a crumpet with PB and J. First time I’ve had jam in over three years- spiral when I woke up this morning was AWFUL. The guilt/shame was so real.
But… I had breakfast of ready break made with skim milk and raspberries. Even though tummy feels like a ballon 😩

[Becca @beccaslovefor_]

Finding the early stages of ED stabilisation really hard. Feel like I’m toe dipping and running back.

Anyone got any words of wisdom or coping strategies 😩

How does everyone stay motivated in Ed recovery - it’s feeling very fluctuating day to day and it’s hard 😩

#edtwtrecovery #edrecovery #eatingdisorder #recovery #anrecovery #edtwt

[Becca @beccaslovefor_]

What’s everyone’s recommendation for navigating stomach issues when increasing food intake- this is horrible 😩

@Debbie8t5 Aww Debbie you definitely should go back and get some x

[Becca @beccaslovefor_]

15 weeks into a horrible eating disorder relapse. Really struggling, both mentally and physically.
Had a difficult appointment yesterday and I just feel so frustrated and sad at the situation 😩.
How have I let this spiral so far… again.

[Becca @beccaslovefor_]

Does anyone know anything about high calcium levels in eating disorders?

[Becca @beccaslovefor_]

M&S girl dinner, oh wait every night is in this household 😝

14 year old Becca who chucked cheese 🧀 across the room during a meal support with her eating disorder therapist would be pissing herself laughing

[Becca @beccaslovefor_]

Merry Christmas from me and Bonnie

[Becca @beccaslovefor_]

@cakesprnkles I LOVED this one!!!

[Dr Chuks @theeatdisdoc]

If this holiday period feels hard around food, you’re not broken—you’re human. Be kind to yourself, take breaks when you need to, and remember: this season will pass. You’re doing your best, and that counts.

[Becca @beccaslovefor_]

Does anyone else find medical monitoring for your ED triggering? I’ve had it for two and a half years and still find it triggering hearing bloods are normal/ fine after having awful bloods 17 months ago.

Yet I’ve lost 11kg (16% bw) in eight weeks
