I have been in ED recovery for a few years now but the symptoms are slowly starting to come back. I did a body composition scan at the beginning of the year and since then I haven’t looked at food the same. Im scared Im going to end up going back to my ED only because of this scan. what should i do??

      it’s completely normal to fear a relapse. the scan was a trigger for you, but it doesn’t have to cause you to spiral. i hear you! it’s hard, and it’s really scary. i think my best advice would be to remind yourself of what you gain in recovery. you can travel the world, and enjoy all aspects of it, including the food. you can wake up and go have brunch with friends. you are healthier. you are happier. i’m sure you have more energy, and more motivation. your relationships have surely improved. you gain so much in recovery. you’re in control, not your eating disorder. you can do this!
