• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

:hug::hug: Im so glad to hear that, sweetie.
I think at first your weight will go up a little, simply because it will be "scared" that you are going to go back to depriving it of food again. So your weight will go up just a little, but it wont be noticeable by anyone except you. Then itll even out and you might even lose again, as long as you keep eating healthily and exercising. I hope that makes sense?

Im the same way, sweetie.
Dont focus on it. It will most likely just be water weight. It wont be fat. And thats the most important thing to keep in mind. Forget about the scales. Get your mates to hide them.

:hug::hug: Its worth it, hun. Trust me. Eat healthily and keep exercising and youll be building muscle -- and you will feel terrific! :) Thats how it has been with me. I feel so much healthier.

Love you girl.

Byootiful,
I can't tell you how excited I was to read the title of your post! :thumbsup: That is such a big step - to be considering eating again. As has already has been said, it's all to do with eating healthy. I will be here cheering you on the whole way! :clap: :clap: :clap: You can do this! Remember, God hasn't given us a spirit of fear - Satan uses it to keep us trapped. Instead we have peace, love, and a sound mind. Hmmm - not sure where that came from...seems off topic, but I hope it helps someone...:scratch:
Let us know how you're going!
Love & prayers,
Celtic
