In treatment, you (hopefully) come out of your eating disorder enough that you’re able to see a different way of living. A better way of living. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always mean that you’re able to pull yourself out of the eating disorder. The quote above is from an anime I’m watching (Psycho-Pass, if you’re interested) and it struck me that this is how it is for me post-treatment. I have this obsession, and my mind tells me there’s a wiser, a better way to live, but I can’t seem to turn my back on this obsession.

Yes – but over time and continued commitment to recovery, the voice of the obsession gets quieter, and we get better at putting it in its place. Mine is still there, but it doesn’t get to control me anymore.

I’m struggling with this at the moment but I am choosing not to act on those thoughts. Its tough but possible. I try to remind myself what I gained from those obsessions and very few of the answers are positive. Keep on keepin’ on. hugs xxx

That’s the hardest part, isn’t it? Feeling like you’re working so hard and not any happier for it?
