I would highly suggest you talk to your parents. Obsessing over what you eat, restricting your caloric intake, and over-exercising are all symptoms of anorexia. Additionally, if other people are noticing it, that causes a lot of concern and raises some red flag for me. It can definitely be scary to talk to your parents, but if you want to get help, that is the best first step. Just tell them what you have told me and go from there. For eating disorders, early intervention is key to positive outcomes.

Relapse

This is one person’s story; everyone will have unique experiences on their own path to recovery and beyond. Some stories may mention eating disorder thoughts, behaviors or symptom use. Please use your own discretion. And speak with your therapist when needed. By Liz Rognes, a former Emily Program client in recovery. She is a teacher, writer, and musician who lives in Spokane, WA.

Frequent relapses fed my eating disorder. Any time I slipped or crashed, I
