Here is a related post of my history with disordered eating and bingeing:<br /><br />http://triumphantyasi.blogspot.com/2010/03/history.html<br /><br /> There are other posts about bingeing sprinkled throughout:<br /><br />http://triumphantyasi.blogspot.com/search/label/Binge%20Eating%20Disorder<br /><br /> Also, I honestly don't have very many tips, other than to tell you to try to stop feeling guilty before/after a binge. Guilt (about my body and my food intake) is the one thing that has almost always led to a binge and kept a binge going for more than a day. If you try your hardest to say 'what's in the past is in the past' it will aid you in lessening your bingeing. But, again, I am still working on this one... so...<br /><br />Good luck! :)<br /><br />Missy, thanks Lady! :)Yasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604585690106059181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951694018471684845.post-90665238155239734692011-01-23T11:45:56.919-05:002011-01-23T11:45:56.919-05:00Beautiful post and beautiful hair!

And I'm so glad t...Yasi, your hair looks great!<br />And I'm so glad that things are going well for you! :)<br />Your intuitive eating journey sounds awesome.<br />I wish I was able to do that sort of thing. I kinda do, but I still have to write down my food and calories and stuff for my nutritionist. I have to hit 2500-3000 a day, and sometimes it's hard to do intuitive eating with that because I will eat when I'm hungry and stuff, but it still won't be enough calories.. Kinda annoying, but yea<br /><br />Also, I agree on your body balancing itself out! One day you eat a ton, the next you don't.. That's NORMAL eating! And that's awesome! Good for you :)<br />Finally, I was surprised to hear that you had a restricting/binge type of ED for a while.. That is how I have been lately.. I used to only be anorexic, but the past couple months binging has occured.. it's so strange, and I hate it. Luckily I've been ok lately, but yea.. it's scary :/ I can't eat too much, and I can't eat too little. It's really hard to balance.<br />I love reading your blogs.<br />Do you have any posts from the time when you were binging/restricting? just wondering.. Or do you have any suggestions for me as to how to recover? I am working on it, but I don't know of too many people who have had this particular type of ED.. <br />Anyway, sorry this is so long!<br />Thanks Yasi :)<br /><3Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728102924183771887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951694018471684845.post-83445717375081243392011-01-20T10:09:11.723-05:002011-01-20T10:09:11.723-05:00Thanks Lily!
Now to answer your question...
I th...Thanks Lily!<br /><br />Now to answer your question...<br /><br />I think that intuitive eating is something that takes time to eventually arrive at. What I mean is that I've struggled with various forms of disordered eating since I was 14 (so, 12 years now), and it's just now that eating intuitively is starting to make sense to me.<br /><br />I'm not sure if eating intuitively is the #1 thing that you should worry about right now because you are still in the very early stages of recovery. I believe that you need to heal your body first in order to start trusting it. From what it sounds like, you're still in the healing stage- which is fantastic for you and your body/mind/soul!<br /><br />That is why I couldn't answer Ashley's question on how to intuitively eat-- it's just something that came to me after a while. I had healed enough to the point where going back to my disordered eating ways just wasn't good enough anymore. I would rather be a little bigger and be able to work out and eat foods that I wanted and go out with friends. Being super skinny no longer tipped the scale of my life goals.<br /><br />Although I can't give you many ideas on how to start, here are some good book suggestions. I have not read them, but I've heard great things about them from other people:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Breaking-Free-Emotional-Eating-Geneen/dp/0452284910<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/When-You-Refrigerator-Pull-Chair/dp/0786885084<br /><br />Also, Charlotte Hilton Anderson is a wonderful blogger/author with years of disordered eating experience. She recently started intuitive eating and has lots of great information about her journey.<br /><br />http://thegreatfitnessexperiment.blogspot.com/search?q=intuitive+eating<br /><br />I hope that helps!<br /><3Yasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604585690106059181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951694018471684845.post-76073912956473985282011-01-20T07:09:36.583-05:002011-01-20T07:09:36.583-05:00LOVE you new haircut!! :)

For two weeks after I restricted myself and my body image got better. Then around Christmas time I felt terrible about myself because of all of the food consumption. And then I thought to myself "there MUST be a better way than this". <br />I think I just got so tired of the high highs and the low lows that I decided I'd take the middle ground and feel 'normal'- not great, but not terrible.<br /><br />That idea led itself to my easing up on my disordered eating thoughts and trying to really get a connection with my body. This happened right around the time that I made my inspiration board. I just wanted to feel 'good', and I wanted to trust my body again.<br />So I let go of some of the reins on my eating and control issues, and my mental state has immensely improved.<br /><br />I don't know what other advice I can give you on the issue, other than to say *trust your body*. It knew what it was doing when you were 10 years old and it knows what it's doing now.<br /><br />I've been trying to accept that at this age and at this time in my life, my body wants to look like this and be at this weight. I am healthy, and that is fantastic.<br /><br />:)Yasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604585690106059181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3951694018471684845.post-73678522950984497622011-01-19T15:57:44.808-05:002011-01-19T15:57:44.808-05:00I love your hair Yasi!!!!!!
