Re: I am a Recovering Anorexic

OMG, I'm recovering from bulemia... In my recovery I have found it easier to not eat than to deal with food drama. Especially while at work. It's so easy to forgot your own needs when you are focused on everyone else's. I've gone through 13 hours at work, peeing 1 time, eating minimally and drinking less than 16 oz of water. I'm not at all proud of this, infact I'm terrified that I'm doing this to my body. My hospital has strict rules about food and drinks at the nurses station making it difficult to leave the floor for any reason. I get 1- 15 minute break a day, and 1 - 30 minute lunch break. Let's face it, that's not enough time to take care of 13 hours of bodily maintenance! I too struggle with not eating/drinking enough while at work. How does anyone deal?????? Please help!!!!

Re: I am a Recovering Anorexic

What I found that helps takes a lot of guts if you can do it- I know a lot of people with ED get extremely private with it, but what helped me is sabotaging my ED by telling my friends that I have one. They watch out for me, and if I havn't eaten anything they keep me accountable.
