I’ve recovered and I hate it. I want to go back but however hard I try I don’t seem to be able to get thin again.

Hi PWP, well done for standing up to the disorder! It takes huge courage and I’m afraid there’s no way you can do it without it feeling unnatural and frightening. I know this might be hard to hear but the fact this feels horrible to begin with is a sure sign you’re on the right track. We both know that ‘thinness’ is no kind of answer. You wouldn’t be happier or healthier thinner – that’s a lie of the enemy. Keep going sister – it won’t feel like this forever.
I really am happy that I came to your blog! I have been really sad lately, I feel lonely within myself, reading your post has brought a hope in me that I can become a Christian and overcome this misery inside me. Thank you
