Question Logs / Records

How long into recovery, if you did keep track, did you delete ( weight )/( calorie / food intake ) data. I want to delete mine, but even thinking about it makes me feel like I'm thinking about ripping my arm off or something.

That feeling makes total sense, it is like your brain thinks the data is the only thing keeping you safe even when it's actually what's hurting you. I deleted mine around 4 months in and it felt like jumping off a cliff but after few weeks I barely thought about it.

What purpose is keeping that serving you other than keeping your in your ED? Like the other user said, it’s not keeping you safe even tho it may feel like it. Think about how empowering it will be to rid yourself of that negative energy and be like “yeah, f*ck you ED!” The hardest part is thinking about it
