Rawdancer~ my heart goes out to you. but i do agree with what enchantress and bracken are saying...keep up the counseling, try to get to the bottom of the underlying problem. its hard work and its scary losing the control. but we are all here for you and i believe you can get through. there is so much greatness in life and you have so much to offer.

Enchantress~ i went to mirasol...i didnt want to at the time, i was in complete denial but my parents sent me. i realize now how lucky i am that they sent me there and not the hospital. it took me a couple weeks to actually start doind the work and wanting to get better but it is a good place. they have a much more hollistic view of healing. the food os not raw but healthier. they let me still ea

Rawdancer~ good thinking throwing the scales out! i hate how most doctors seem to measure how well your doing just by the number on the scale.i still turn around on the scale if they insist on a weight! good luck with your bf, i hope everything goes well. its good you guys have each other to lean on.

selenes~ thats so great to hear!! i really believe that the raw diet is a great way to overcome eating disorders. i agree with you that the body will figure out where it wants to be. i remember trying to gain weight on a cooked vegetarian diet in the begining of recovery and it was awfull! i was so bloated all time and hated how i felt. when i tried it again with the raw diet it worked. still har

i can definitly relate to the never feeling good enough or doing anything right...huge anorexia trigger. i guess my main triggers are lonliness and depression. i never felt like i knew who i was. all through high school i was heavly into drugs and alcohol, when i tried to stop those things i got really depressed and didnt really do anything but sit alone. then my ed stared somehow...i guess it wa

Bracken~ i have been in recovery for about a year. well i got out of treatment about a year ago but slipped back into a lot of old habbits pretty quickly. so probably just about the past 4 months i can actually call being in recovery. i definitly still have my bad days, this week especially for some reason, but i try not to slip back to old habbits. the weight gaining part is espcially hard. i ha

oh the horrible boosts!! we had that same rule, if you didnt finish your meal you got "boosted". they wanted me to drink one a day there on top of everything else to help gain weight. imagine being bloated!! i hated them so they made me their own more natural version. i think it was berries, juice, protein powder and flax oil. better, but still no fun. hang in there though you guys can

something i just thought of... i see a naturopathic doctor who has really been supportive and helpful through my recovery. about a month ago he did this test on me to see if i was diffecient in any nutrients. i had been 100% raw for a couple months at this time and he is supportive of it but wanted to make sure i was getting everything. we got the results back and i was deffecient in only one thi

enchantress~ thats a really good way to put it...i have the same problem with obsessivley eating healthy. i am constently reminding myself that the foods i am eating are ok, as long as its raw its ok. its hard to know sometimes exactly what your body wants and needs. especially after being malnourished for so long. i think my body wanted everything and anything when i started the whole refeeding

Selene, i too have had a long battle with an eating disorder and the raw diet changed my life. after being in a treatment center and outpatient programs, the raw diet is what really turned things around for me. i agree with what everyone is saying about focusing in the underlying cause, but sometimes your brain needs to be healthy enough to do so. i have been 100% raw for almost 4 months now and
