Anyone in Recovery from an Eating Disorder?

I have been in recovery for almost 2 years. I still have a treatment team & they are less than thrilled that I am preggers again so soon. I'm just feeling frustrated. I am doing pretty well. Was just wondering if anyone else is in a similar place.

I dont have experience but just wanted to wish you well I can imagine pregnancy must be hard with the weight aspect.

thanks ladies! @sassymommaC I got on the scale backwards when I was preg with ds. They still wrote it on the checkout paper though no matter how many times I asked them not to. Everyday I just remind myself that my body grew & birthed a beautiful baby boy & that I took great care of myself during that time. I know I can do the same this go around!

I've had problems since I was 13 that have run the gamut from being severely underweight, to purging 12 times a day to overusing laxatives. I found some peace at age 26 in running, but of course I took that to an unhealthy level at times as well. The real peace came after the birth of my daughter when it realized I didn't want her to be like me in that regards. I try to preach and practice self acceptance and girl power. Woman are awesome and can do anything, and should not ruin their bodies and minds with EDs. I've gained 3-5 lbs over the past year dealing with fertility/miscarriage issues, but I would happily gain any amount of weight to get a take home baby. I'm here to support you if you need anything!

I just want to wish you all the best.

I don't consider myself anorexic anymore, but I was for a considerable amount of time in my life, so I know what you're going through.
