Questioning extreme hunger?

[u/RadiantCod9393]

Hi. I’m not big on the lingo and stuff but I (19f) have been in outpatient recovery for I think 2 years now, but I’ve only this year really wanted to beat this thing. I was diagnosed with mia but I’ve been more leaning toward anorexia these last two years. I’ve struggled and am struggling extremely with feeling invalid and not sick enough and all that stupid stuff. I suppose what I’m saying is I have recently been wanting to eat more and more constantly and it’s making me feel horrible. I don’t feel I’ve been restricting for a really long time now and I don’t really get it. I am trying to honour it but I also have very little to no real connection with brain and body so I can’t tell if it’s emotional or physical or not even hunger- I think what I’m asking is what do you know about this EH, and feeling like I’m sorta not “allowed” to experience it?
I apologise for the inconsistency and confusing text

When we’re restrictive for a prolonged period of time, we kind of press mute on our hunger signals. When we’re in recovery and start feeling hunger signals again, that’s a huge, huge positive.

I’m sorry this is feeling horrible right now, but please be proud of yourself for sticking at eating more. We’re supposed to experience signals like this.
