Oh wow! I experienced the same feelings around exercising when Stopped too. I was so very scared but also SO relieved that I could finally rest and sleep in and not feel like absolute crap about exercise. Because I honestly love moving my body, so my goal is to rest rest rest and eat as much as possible until I am healed and then I can do the fun exercising (dance/cycling/boxing/walking&hiking) again without it being a dreaded compulsion anymore. Thank you for sharing so much good information and tips.
Hi Tabitha, first I want to said your channel had helped me SO much when I am down with my journey to recovery and accepting myself. You are an amazing lady and I am so blessed to found your channel. I pray that your channel will grow more next year. I wish you a very Happy and health Holiday and happy new year. Best wish in whatever you do. P.s. I am so thankful for you and your past experience had surely help me and encouraging me so much. I really want to thank you. ❤️👍😊 I am looking forward to see you more next year.
I feel this video. My guy's name is Matt and, because i can't always talk (not quite selective mute, but don't know what to say) so he's had to talk for me in hospital. I've been asked soooo many times if Matt is abusing me! And the "this can't be any worse than my life now" was exactly what pushed me to recover!
Tabitha, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I wish you a lot of energy to keep going with your amazing job of keeping all the people struggling from ED, including myself, on track.
oh and i never used to give a fuck about what people said or thought about me ever.. i used to speak up to anything i didnt like.. UNTIL i became anorexic.. i was scared of others still am .. i give a shit about what the lady in the shop at the till i have never seen before will think about me..but im starting to become the old me again.. thanks to tabitha and my new fab therapist..
I am urrently binging on TV programmes, but my husband is so frustrated with me because he says I'm being lazy and not trying to recover - I'm a third way through of your book but because I'm not in the mood to read at the moment says to him that I am lazy. I go to work every day except when I'm told not to from my Dr because of my uncontrolled epilepsy seizures. Thoughts please? X
i stopped over exercising cold turkey after passing out a few times .. after that my weight dropped lower than ever.. as i restricted even more but i was also so reliefed i didn't have to run again at 3am. you gotta do the whole lot.. eat relax eat sleep eat relax eat sleep.. and do the opposite of what ur head is telling u every time a thought comes up .. and yes i wanted to kill myself too now im laughing again.. im enjoying life again.. i often crave fruit or veg as i aint sure if thats me or anorexia i just have the fruit with a biscuit lol or salad with coleslaw 😂 i eat double.. its great
Merry Christmas! 🎄🏡🍰🥂🥞 After an awfully exhausting trip, I'm back home. And I'm cold turkey on pretty much anything right now.😵I thought, I was weak when I came here, but then I contracted bacterial bronchitis and I'm death on two legs. I'm eating, but I can't eat a lot and coughing like a mad man is stealing my calories. And the antibiotics are giving me terrible diarrhea. 😭 Anybody else contracting some serious shit while recovering?
kerry c Have you ever binged? When you consume a huge amount of calories in the form of junk food in a short space of time. When you want to stop but can’t, when you are on auto pilot. Then when you’ve eaten so much that you can’t eat any more and feel sick and completely ashamed of yourself that you’ve just done this. You just want to retreat away from everyone. You hate yourself because you just can’t stop bingeing. You feel life is not worth living like this. Then you promise yourself that the next day you will do better and restrict or over exercise to make up for the binge but as today is ruined you may aswell just continue bingeing. Then you feel like you’ve gained so much weight. Then the next day you try to restrict and the whole cycle starts again. That’s not ‘fine’ for me
Sarah Bartlett the restriction element in that cycle is what keeps the binging alive. I know Tab says said that without restriction binging does not occur?. I hope you are ok x
Alex Jones oh yes thanks for asking. I’m working on the restriction and binge urges and I’m much better. I just take offence to Tabitha saying bingeing is ‘fine’ when it’s one of the worst experiences in the world for me.
Sarah Bartlett I’m glad you are making progress. I think she may have meant that it’s fine, as in don’t feel guilty about it. It’s not something to be ashamed of. Take care xx

Bingeing is not ‘fine’.
How?
