EDMONDS, Wash., Nov 29, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) — In the wake of a federal court ruling this summer that a California woman’s insurance company should pay for residential treatment that she received for anorexia nervosa, psychologist Dr. Gregory Jantz echoed the court’s opinion that residential care can be medically necessary to treat severe eating disorders.
Dr. Jantz, a nationally renowned specialist in eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, said that round-the-clock care can be required for such disorders because treating them effectively involves constantly monitoring patients’ food intake and retention. Read more
I kinda really miss treatment tonight. Things sucked so bad, hence the reason I was there in the first place, but Jesus.. so many good memories came out of it. I miss everyone soo much tonight.
Is this normal?
I love being called ‘ignorant’ when I point out the legit comparison between eating disorders & suicide.
ED = you’re killing yourself. How difficult is that to grasp?

I’ve noticed quite often lately, whether it beon here, xanga or twitter, many people posting about how badly they are doing with their eating disorders / recovery. A common theme is that it’s not possible to eat ‘normally’, & basically that their ED ‘needs’ to have control over their recovery.
First of all - what the hell is normal anyway? Ordered Eating would probably be more accurate. My favourie definition of ordered eating comes from the book Unbearable Lightness by Portia de Rossi -
“Ordered eating is the practice of eating when you’re hungry and ceasing when your brain sends the signal to your stomach that you are full. Ordered eating is about eating for enjoyment, health and to sustain life. Ordered eating is not restricting certain kinds of food because they are ‘bad.’”
To reach that the only thing you can do is to stop giving control to the eating disorder. Actually learn to pay attention to when it’s thinking for you and stop saying countles times that x, y and z are impossible. Because guess what? When you say something is impossible, it will be. The only way you will ever learn and earn anything in life is by doing, not by sitting around complaining that something will never happen - duh, it won’t when that’s all you do.
No matter how uncomfortable you may be in a situation start challenging yourself, mind and body. 19 months symptom free and Im still challenging myself - because the process of recovery and learning your potential is never ending.
In fact, as I sit here writing this Im digging into a glorious pint of cake batter Ben & Jerrys. (The one food I used to b/p on and havent ate since before treatment over two years ago.) I freaked out buying it, freaked out right before eating it, but am I freaking out right now eating it? No, because food is food and food will not kill you you or start a disasterous chain of events. Nothing bad will happen from my eating this unless I make it happen.
I’m in control. Food / ED is not. I used to think it would be impossible to ever eat this brand ice cream again, but when I stopped using excuses and fear to judge how I live my life I’ve realized that it’s not bad at all. Impossible? How about I’m Possible.
It kind of pisses me off when I seen non-recovered girls say that recovery isnt as easy as eating.. yes it is! When you start to EAT youre able to start thinking clearly again, your depression starts to lift, and recovery gets EASIER.
Youre just too sick and stubborn to realize this.
