Instead of ED (eating disorder recovery)

Instead of ED (eating disorder recovery) a pro-recovery place for those affected by eating disorders or disordered eating. This page was created out of need. That's what this page is for.

Sometimes when wanting to engage in ED behavior it's hard to think of what to do instead. This is a group endeavor that further demonstrates that we never have to do this alone. I also have a FB account that covers many other areas of ED recovery. You can send me a friend request at "ANAD Lori Licker"

I have created this illustration based on one of Jenn's favorite affirmations. I am all for regaining (or gaining) life. What are some of your favorite illustrations? Maybe I'll make it come to life too 😊

One advantage of being older is the wisdom of being able to reflect back on a longer life experience (vs when younger). On the other hand, I hear the tune of The Final Countdown playing in the background lol😄. Don't let that be a downer though. Hear my voice when I say that life is precious. Please don't wait for it to start. Live in the now & try to make the most of it today. Who's going to join me?

I'm going to present to you some of the things E-D really means when whispering to you & we'll talk about it. Thanks to .ed.coach for the images. What do you think after seeing what's really meant? Is it easier to talk back?

Let me know which of these suggestions really resonate for you during times when you need to turn your thoughts around. Do you have any insights that you would add? I'll see you below 😊

Who wants to do this? Let me know.
One of my earlier posts we discussed how often people are check1ng their bodies. Somebody suggested putting affirmations on the bottom of the mirror to help balance negativity. Great idea! It reminded me of an activity i did with the group i led (and also online). Take Post-its (or whatever) and answer this question: I am...
List positive attributes. If you can't come up with anything, ask friends or family - or list things you want to be. I actually still have one word on my mirror from years ago. It's the word "enough." So even if you can't think of anything else, maybe you can say that you are enough. One day you might even believe it 😊

We talked on Saturday about doing something fun this weekend, whether it be big or small. People shared some neat things and I mentioned mine.
So how did everyone do? Remember that it's not a competition 🙃 I look forward to hearing your answer, even if you didn't mention anything before. -lori

E D might feel like a huge part of your life or even your identity. However, I know that you are so much more. What are some of your interests and hobbies (or what were they)? What characteristics or traits do you have? For example, I know many of you are caring and empathetic. Let's try to build this list. For those who feel self-conscious, it is not bragging. If it's easier, how would others describe you? I look forward to your answers and I even know some of them 😁

Just a quick reminder that some comments are hidden by F B. I've had to get into the routine of just hitting the drop-down box and selecting "newest" to make sure I'm not missing anything. Be sure to make a reaction ❤️👍 or leave a small comment so this gets put into as many people's feeds as possible. That's just the mother in me trying to look out for everyone 😊 thanks

I'm sure many of you know about body checking. That's compulsively checking different things about your body through the day. It might seem harmless at first but it can then start hurting you more than helping. One thing that you can do is to get rid of the scale. I KNOW. It's easier said than done. What things have helped you with lessening the checking? -lori

"It's not about me, it's about you." What would it take to actually say that to someone who tried to shame you (or someone else) because of your size? I admit that in the past, that would have been tough for a number of reasons. I'd hope that where I am today, I could actually address it differently. I know that i could do it a lot easier supporting someone else. What are your thoughts on any of this? -lori

Ouch! I was guilty of that at one time & had friends who also had E Ds that would join me. We had such unhealthy competitions. I can look back on that now and see how E D can really change how you think. Now when my stomach growls, at the worst i am annoyed. Who can relate to any part of this? (BTW- now i go eat. Literally now, I'm hungry! I have ice cream too and that's ok. 😊)

It's the weekend. Let's do something fun - even if it's small. This isn't a competition, but a time to do something enjoyable (although that's not limited to the weekend). For me, it's one of the last times to have a fire & grill with friends before it gets too hot. What are you up to? Can you stretch your comfort zone?
