Unfortunately while your body repairs itself it'll all be a little bit out of wack.
I take supplements that have really helped with my hair. Namely biotin and folic acid.
Also making sure you have omega3 so through fish (if you eat it) or flaxseed, you can either add that to your food or get the oil in capsules. I've also found iron and zinc help with hair loss and helping it grow back faster and stronger xx
No not in the slightest! Recovery very very rarely results in becoming 'fat' or overweight. However to someone with an eating disorder their self perception is so warped that weight gain is a terrifying concept. They already see themselves as too big so to gain any weight feels unacceptable and utterly terrifying. It's an irrational fear that so many suffers have, that they will eat and get fat. Or they won't be able to stop eating so will end up obese.
I was referring to the irrational thought process pertaining to recovery rather than the reality of recovery.

For me I lost so much weight while I was pregnant through being incredibly unwell that by the time I gave birth I weighed less than I did pre pregnancy.
However my body has never been the same and I think it would be a challenge to get it to resemble even something similar to what it was.
Hormones can definitely factor into your stomach not going down, as can your diet and the exercise you do. However if you're really concerned about it is recommend going to your doctor and discussing the possibility of diastasis recti.
It's a condition where your muscles in your torso fail to knit back together post birth.
I think it's worth exploring all the possible causes and experimenting with different ways of eating and exercising. ?
I completely understand where you're coming from with this. Becoming a parent really changed you and your stance on life, however eating disorders don't just disappear when you become a parent. As ever it's still important that you move at a safe pace not committing to something you're really unwilling to see through. I think it's important to get help when you're ready (and to work on being ready rather than just letting yourself decline) because I think that feeling pressured into something is generally never a good thing and makes any possible relapses so much worse because anger and resentment at other people comes out.
Continue to be an amazing mother to your son and work towards your goal of health.
Your eating disorder doesn't define you, letting go of it doesn't mean you will lose who you are.
Getting a therapist is a really good start even if they aren't eating disorder focused.
Keep going on the path of getting help ?

Taking pictures really helped me, I started taking them after my positivity mirror confirmations failed miserably.
Personally I like pictures because I can take them in good lighting and pose in a way that looks flattering. I completely accept that I don't look that way 99% of the time but it does help immeasurably to know that I can look like that.
Take your photos in good lighting depending on what you feel that is, I prefer either bright day light or something that creates shadows. Then start taking them laying down and stretching out, play around with moving your body creating shapes and curves and try not to take it too seriously..
I really hope it helps my dear ❤️❤️
Get nutrients they can become a crutch. I definitely used juices and smoothies as a way to avoid eating for a long time before I got proper treatment.
If you're worried about your daughter Id definitely seek professional help, sometimes things we think might help can make things so much worse.
I definitely think it's important to be as understanding and supportive as possible and I think it's amazing that you're looking into possibilities to help her with food. But also remember that people who suffer from eating disorders are not rational and will often abuse the understanding, well meaning help they're given and use it to further their weight loss.
I really hope she finds a healthy path to follow, all the best x
I'm apprehensive about juicing because while it is an amazing way to
I get most of them from Schuh and Office and some from JD
I think it's slightly different for me as j have borderline personality disorder so I often swing between manic and depressive stages. My experience with anti depressants have been varied, low doses helped when I was younger for short periods of time but taking them generally results in me having a long term manic episode.
I 100% believe that if you're suffering from depression either long or short term medication is something you deserve to look into. Anything that can help lift the fog and help you begin to experience life properly again is 100% worth it.
