I sometimes have the feeling that you can't recognize what you're actually choosing - if you have an ED you seem to only see the 'good' things in it, i.e. that it can be a coping mechanism and stress relief. But that you can't see the negative effects is the sick part of it, what makes it a disease.

In my experience it is a choice. It is a choice because I'm aware. I'm aware when I'm bigger than I wanna be and I, in the past, was completely able to restrict until I was as small as I wanted to be (88lbs). I was also smart enough, able enough, in control enough, to realize that I was too skinny. I am 5'1''. I started eating normal after that and was a healthy weight for a long time. (98lbs) I'm now in the process of "giving myself a temporary disorder."<br /><br />I say this because I don't think I ever had one. I think I have enough control to lose weight when I need to and know when to stop. I have never lost control of my eating habits when I cared to control them.<br /><br />So for me, it is a choice wholeheartedly and in my opinion and in my situation perfectly controlled and healthy.<br /><br />Much love to those who don't have control,<br /><br />Lu LuLu Luhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00097103581129341390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6765151339392862810.post-22935523852763335262015-03-09T21:59:04.426-05:002015-03-09T21:59:04.426-05:00Ask anyone who has ever been in recovery and they ...Ask anyone who has ever been in recovery and they will tell you it is a disease. You feel like you're in control, but try actually wanting to be in recovery and you're challenged with a trigger food. Its not good.

I'm (mostl) recovered now, but struggling not to fall back.

If I had known then what I know now, I would never have started skipping meals. Simple behaviour, disastrous consequence.
