Struggling with Anorexia: Need Advice on Regaining Hunger Signals

you’re not failing if you’re persevering! firstly, good for you for seeking help NOW!! it’s totally understandable that your hunger/fullness cues are MIA. i’ve been in recovery since 2019 with a major relapse last year — my hunger/fullness cues still haven’t quite gotten there completely (but they’re a lot better!) there’s a lot of mechanical eating that goes on, especially in the beginning. it sucks to chow down on autopilot because otherwise you won’t get adequate nutrition, but i PROMISE YOU that eating won’t always be such a chore. if you can, see a dietitian who can give you a meal plan & work through this (and who is trained for EDs; look for HAES practitioners!) there’s so much more — ping me for any more questions or rambles ❤️
