Domande #21; 22: Pasti, appetito, qualche suggerimento Enclose the answers to two questions in one post, since they are very similar basic ...
M. I wrote:
"I recently had a relapse and I am putting all to break the vicious circle. I started eating a little 'more, but I can not erase the feeling of failure that I feel every time I sit down at the table. I know that the failure lies within myself, not in the food, but the thoughts diverted from the DCA can not be logical to me. How can I not feel like a failure even if it restricts the power? " On the pin-board in my room hangs a Post-It note that read:
“Fake it until you make it” . Se sei consapevole del fatto che la cosa giusta da fare è mangiare in maniera corretta ed essere orgogliosa di te stessa per questo, fallo senza assecondare i pensieri distorti dell’anoressia che ti suggerirebbero di restringere. Se ti senti giù di morale quando hai mangiato, ricorda a te stessa che, invece, ti stai dando una mano a stare meglio, e che recuperando il sottopeso anche la tua testa riuscirà a pensare più nitidamente. Certo, inizialmente la voce dell’anoressia nella tua testa continuerà a farti sentire sbagliata, ma tanto più a lungo mangerai in maniera regolare, tanto meglio riuscirai ad eludere la voce del DCA.
Prova ad adottare un sistema di "Rewards" to help you associate positive feelings with the right actions. For example, promise yourself that, if you can eat your breakfast, after 15 minutes you can allow yourself to relax and do something nice, funny, that makes you feel good. Or even more: if you can follow the 'balanced diet' that you have given your dietitian throughout the day, rewarded bought something that you like. If you can do for a week, treat yourself to a weekend of everything you enjoy doing. The reward can be anything you want - an evening spent watching your favorite DVD instead of working, a new pair of shoes, etc ... If there put it all to achieve your goal, and I'll give you a gesture of kindness at a time when you did it, train your mind to understand what's really worth.
I suggest also to use the Post-It: hang them where you can often read, and write on it as positive
phrases "You Can Do Anything You Want: Believe it" or something. Sometimes you need to arrive outside encouragement that we are not able to give to ourselves.

Titty Instead, he writes:
"I am following a course of treatment for about a year. I'm going pretty well, since I could not stop to restrict / binge. However, when under stress, I tend to lose appetite. They taught me that when I am hungry I eat, but what do I do if my sense of hunger do not feel it at all? Currently does not restrict voluntarily, but sometimes I realize that eating little and nothing leads me to think "I could eat a little 'less than tomorrow ..." and this makes me skid. How can I eat in a balanced manner when under stress and I'm not hungry? " First off - congratulations for a year on the road to recovery. Anyway ... I think that many people with an eating disorder or not, tend to lose their appetite when they are stressed. Why not try to pick out eating patterns, it happens when you restrict? I know this may seem like a step backwards given that eating patterns follow the footprint at the beginning of a path of recovery, but may be helpful, especially in times of stress. Eating patterns can help you to eat at times when you know you have, regardless of your appetite, trying to force yourself to eat what you need. Sometimes you need to do certain things, even if reluctantly, because otherwise you risk the DCA riscivolare even before realizing it.
Focus on what you know is right to eat, and hang on: even moments pesanti poi se ne vanno ed arrivano tempi migliori.
E per quanto riguarda i pensieri che ti vengono quando salti qualche pasto, ti rimando alla risposta che ho dato proprio qui sopra a
M . Qualsiasi cosa tu possa fare per rinforzare i pensieri positivi nella battaglia contro l’anoressia è sempre un passo nella giusta direzione.
