Hey guys! Happy Sunday ☀️✌🏼 Let's chat.. Fact or fiction? In a disordered brain it's never clear what is 100% a fact or what is just fiction. A made up rule, story, memory - anything really.. but the harder you try, the weight you gain & the building back up of your true self, it all comes together.  Right now, I feel like I have the shortest attention span. I can't focus on a conversation whether it's with my best friend, family, work... Just nothing. Because all I can think about is FOOD. It takes up 90% of my energy & brain space. This is because I've starved my body for so long it can't think of anything else but that fuel that it's been craving. It's taken me so long to accept that this is probably true, but looking into the science behind it, there's facts that are proven this is correct.  If you think you're going crazy, you're loosing your memory, you're not fitting in with the conversations around you... You are not going 'crazy' your body is simply healing in its own way. This past month I have engaged in many more social occasions than usual & have enjoyed it but still haven't managed to get past the point of distraction & distress before, during or after the food.  All I'm saying is - give yourself time, we are all on a different journey. Stop th comparison, it's not a competition. Healing is a lengthy process - that one is a fact 🫶🏼✨ @hopevirgo_ @millyg_fit @beatingeatingdisorders #openyourmindwithshan

Coen was helping to make daddy’s breakfast. Coen touched sultanas and banana. He went onto smell his fingers after touching the banana.

"Rihanna shared her experiences of recovering from anorexia on BBC Radio Bristol. Despite being unwell, Rihanna was unable to access treatment as her BMI wasn't considered "low enough". We joined an interview to explain why BMI should never determine whether somebody has an eating disorder." You can hear Rihanna's story from about 2:08:00, and Beat's interview from 2:23:00: https://lnkd.in/gRu-ifQx #mentalhealth #performingarts #help4dancers #theatre #dancers #danceschool #mentalhealthawareness #performers #balletdance #contemporarydance #tapdance #latindance #ballroomdance #hiphopdance #musicaltheatre #triplethreat #auditions #casting #beateatingdisorders #rihanna #dancehealth #dancescience #healthydance #bbcsounds #learn #grow #terryhyde #counsellingfordancers

26.2 mile debrief 😎 1️⃣ Buzzing to be backing BEAT - Beat Eating Disorders again. Truck was back out to play 🚛 @beatedsupport 2️⃣ Jezooo that was a SHIFT. No one prepares you for the wall your body or mind will HIT at say 30-35k in. 3️⃣ My training was a little inconsistent with my hectic life recently but also only starting training from mid March after HYROX. Longest run being 27k prior and not allowing enough taper before the big day. 3️⃣ Recurring injuries, I've had my fair share of nasty falls off horses over the years. Ware and tare definitely playing havoc with my knee (comes from my hip/back) hence the knee tape which came off at 10k !!! In hind sight definitely should have had a physio/ massage prior. 4️⃣ Joint pain - holy sh*t the pain cave was hit on the last 2k. Hahaha I was nearly crying was in that much pain in my hips (never walked). That's where the mental strength of mind over matter definitely came into play. 5️⃣ I fuelled so well for this race. Carb loading is always fun the week prior and was drinking up to 4 litres of water a day. Taking at least 2 electrolytes and supplementing my CBD. During the race I had 5 energy gels, a flapjack and 3 mini haribo packs. I grabbed water at every station and sipped away, the rest was poured over my head. 🌟 Honestly hand on my heart one of the hardest things I have done to date. Was feeling pretty emotional seeing how far I have come/ what I have achieved since 2018 in my full blown eating disorder days. 🌟 Bucket list task number 872367 complete. Onto the next. 😍 #raceday #marathon #debrief #emf2024 #mentalstrength #beateatingdisorders

What I ate today - I challenged a greggs sausage roll today and was so difficult and I don’t know why but I always struggle with them. I also had some ready salted crisps for a snack and a vegetable bake also from greggs. I challenged myself to a star biscuit and I have seen these for so so so so long and just never bought one and always made excuses not to. I had a hot chocolate but made with water instead of milk so I’m hoping to challenge a milk version soon! I did have a late dinner so had to eggs with salt and pepper and six pieces of scampi. There is a picture of a coffee drink at the end but that went in the sink as it went cold. #hotchocolate #greggssausageroll #greggsvegetarian #greggsstarbiscuit #biscuit #walkerscrisps #whatiatetoday #whatiateinaday #recovery #recoveryispossible #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisordersupport #enjoynewfoods #newfood #mealideas #snacks #foodisfuel #foodisfuelforthebody #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #balancedmeals #newchallenges #pushthrough #beateatingdisorders #eatingdisorderstruggles

FORWARD Choosing recovery means you are choosing to only go forward, to regain a life that's worth living. No going backwards, no 'falling off' the plan. If you want full recovery it's going to take time, strength & a whole lot of emotion. I haven't managed it yet but I am determined to get it before I'm 30. I have just over a year to get there, who's with me!? Every day when you wake up, have your toolbox ready. Have your support close to you. Put your shoes on, walk out that door & smile that you still have the freedom to do so. If you're supporting someone with this illness & want to help them recover, have patience. Don't expect every day to be plain sailing, it never will be until the neural re-wiring has done it's job & the organs are working how they should be. Just agree that you'll always be there. They're trying, so so hard. It's the other voice in their head that's saying no. Push it aside & choose today to be the day you only take steps forward. Summers coming, let's embrace this year with open arms 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼 #OpenyourmindwithShan

Movement & Exercise  A tricky one to talk about personally but for some it just doesn't make any logical sense. Exercise is deemed a healthy lifestyle, a way to keep fit, a way to make yourself feel good or achieve things you'd never have thought you could, form new friendships & so much more.  But for me it spiralled out of control & turned nasty. Instead of enjoying running, walking, HIIT classes, boxing, hiking (the list goes on) it actually fell on the contrast & became my addiction. I couldn't go to bed without doing at the least 15,000-30,000 steps a day & recording it in my diary. If I hadn't hit it, I'd to steps around my bed until I had worn myself out I'd collapse till the next morning. This got worse & worse as my intake got less, bones got weaker & my heart rate dropped so low I was rushed into hospital. My running got further & further but I lost all sense of what I was really doing to my body & what others could see. Ive now lost the freedom to run whenever & how far I want to run, go to 'x' amount of gym classes, walk to work and back without being judged, walk on my own when the suns shining because that's just my ED doing it in others perspective, I don't have the brain capacity to decide whether I am doing it for the better or the fact my body wants to earn it's food. With fuel & enough time, my brain will start to regulate it's thoughts and I'll be able to distinguish what my body REALLY wants to do. But for now movement is only for the days I feel I can 100% say it's for joy. After getting diagnosed with osteopenia, I have got time to avoid the rest of my bones breaking down before it's too late.  Movements to watch out for when one is suffering in your household or friendship group could be -  Runs or walks before anyone else gets up  Excessive use of gym/sports classes  Buying gym equipment home Never taking their watch off or phone to count steps  Tracking their movement to how much they've eaten  Excessively cleaning, cooking, hoovering to get mor movement in Walking or standing on the spot instead of the sofa  Always offering to get you the drink, the food, the paper (extra steps) THE LIST GOES ON. Continue to comments >

Autobiography in Five Short Chapters 💗✨💙 I. I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost. I am helpless. It isn’t my fault. It takes forever to find a way out. II. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I still don’t see it. I fall in again. I can’t believe I am in the same place. It isn’t my fault. It still takes a long time to get out. III. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it there, I still fall in. It’s habit. It’s my fault. I know where I am. I get out immediately. IV. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it. V. I walk down a different street.

'Mental health awareness week'  #OpenYourMindWithShan A week that's great to educate the nation but also wondering why it's only over a week? Make it free to talk about the taboo subject more often. All year round! My post today is of course related to my own experience & around my understanding of living with Anorexia.  Subject: SHOPPING - What is meant to be a joyful day out spent with friends, absolutely not. Food shopping - what is meant to be a quick in & out, grab the necessities, absolutely not.  Having any ED makes clothes shopping disgustingly hard for anyone. Having no ED makes it hard for people too, I must say. But why do we let it ruin the fun days out, the memories of grabbing a coffee & picking your favourite jeans with friends & even just using clothes as a feel-good exercise.  Clothes sizes bounce from 1 extreme to another from shop to shop. Zara size 10 might be a H&M size 4. Tesco size 18 might be JD'S size 12. The size whatever it is shouldn't determine how good you feel in it. Pick clothes that make you feel comfortable, happy, compliment your hair, your eyes, brighten your smile. Not clothes that make your curves look good, that make you waist look smaller but then also gives you stomach ache. That makes you think other people will think better of you for wearing that particular dress.  I live in baggy dungarees majority of the time because A) that's my style. B) I'm comfy AF and C) I can eat what I want & feel comfy doing so. I suffer from an autoimmune disease called colitis that effects my digestion track, effects what I can eat & also effects the look of my body. The second I eat, I swell up around my stomach, I feel bloated 99% of the time. So for me, comfort it KEY 👌🏼  Be kind to yourself today, tomorrow, every day. Don't let the sizing or fitting of clothes rule your happiness. I challenge you to walk in to your wardrobe today and get rid of those clothes that don't fit or make you feel pressured to wear because it's the 'in thing'  Fuck that. Be happy & wear whatever you want 👏🏼

Hi guys! Happy Saturday 🌞🌞🌞  Feel like I've got to share today but feel free to skip past me if you don't wanna hear! I am Feeling grateful & content today for so many reasons... That for some might sound absolutely brainless & hard to understand why BUT they're huge for me. ED's make our brains (literally) shrink & form horrible rules around many things in our lives... Which is why I'm chuffed about the following ~  I walked into a shop & bought the sandwich I actually wanted without checking any labels or nutritional value. Not only did I do this but I then sat in the sun eating it and added a side to this on my lunch break!! It was SO tasty.  I then had the urge for something sweet. Usually id have fruit or something low in sugar, low in calories, or sub for a high protein bullshit snack. Today I chose my favorite chocolate & snacked on a bag of maltesers (without sharing or making someone else eat them with me) THIS IS HUGE. IM SO F*** CHUFFED.  Lastly... I'm happy cos my mum went & smashed an unplanned race & got 2nd lady!!! I'm so proud of her as she just never fails to turn up & give it her all 🌟🤪  Generally, id have my lunch planned for every single day and take a Tupperware of snacks and salads with me to work. Generally, id freak out about craving sweets that id give myself a headache about it & choose the apple or banana. Generally, I'd be happy for mum but beating myself up inside that she has exercised today and I haven't done anything. There are so many wins here that I am proud to say for once I feel good about myself 🥰 Tiny steps make full recovery. That's what I'm told anyways. If you are finding it tough today, remind yourself of how tough it will be sitting in the same body & same mindset in a years time. No thank YOU 🙏🏼  I believe in full recovery & believe me & the rest of the people suffering our there can get it. Enjoy your weekend guys n gals, block out those nasty voices ✌🏼🤫  #OpenyourmindwithShan

#OpenYourMindWithShan DAY 4 | HELPFUL SOURCES  Whether it's you or someone you know that is suffering from an Eating Disorder, you can feel completely alone a lot of the time, useless and lost but there are many helpful finds out there that I have discovered along the way.... Some include -  Podcasts: Wednesdays child eating disorder (AMAZING!!) aimed at any ED, Male or Female, Carers or the individual or even people just interested to learn about mental health. This has been the best help I've found online... It's a must!!  Books: I've been in and out of reading the book 'Just eat it' as it's been helpful at times through my journey but then not so much at the harder times... If you are fully recovered already I'd say GOOO! But if you're just starting off, I'd say maybe have a little look but don't be overwhelmed that you're not there yet. (I am not there yet)  Insta accounts: Milly G!! That girl got me through some horrible days... Flicking back onto her account now and then gives me that little push of motivating I need that day! The girl is a genius and fully recovered too! @millyg_fit Hope virgo!! Many of you would have heard or seen hope on the news, podcasts or Instagram! If not give her a follow.. she's making changes in the UK for the good! @hopevirgo_ Professional help: of course the main source of help... Therapy is hard but when you find the right person it starts to help. Peer support workers (for sufferer or carer) online audio books by therapists or psychologists, day care centers. Etc...  It's not easy and sometimes hard to initially find... But here's some to start with and let me know if you find anymore 🥰🙏🏼❤️  Fact: 95% of Sufferers experience Bradycardia / Extremely low heart rate leading to hospital admission.

#OpenYourMindWithShan DAY 3 | EARLY SIGNS  Catching and seeing the signs early and before you or your loved one is entrenched in an Eating Disorder could be crucial to the rest of their/your life. On a personal note, I had family who spotted all the factors before I probably ever did. This said... I want to express again that this is not factual it's just my outlook and experience with living with Anorexia.  Early warning signs may include:  Secretly exercising/taking trainers or gym gear to work or school or even at early hours in the morning or middle of the night.  Skipping breakfast because your not hungry  Saying no to parties or social events  Counting steps excessively (never taking the watch off or being upset about not having the watch)  Wearing baggy clothes to hide figure  Hiding or storing food to avoid eating it or to binge when no one is around  Toilet trips after eating or during meals  Excessive amounts of water intake/chewing gum  Tracking every single thing you/they eat  Tired and fatigued constantly  Headaches and dehydration  Not able to concentrate or good conversation  Hair falling out  Bruising, especially on spine/lower back  There are so, so many early signs to watch out for and there are so many helpful websites to visit including the NHS or BEAT website. I'll attach links below 🙏🏼 Fact: Anorexia often begins during adolescence, but can develop at any age (Personally not till my 20's)

5/3/2024, 9:40:28 AM

#OpenYourMindWithShan DAY 2 | COMMENTS  Comments through recovery can be so helpful towards the individual suffering, yet they can also be hurtful without the carer/friend ever realizing. An ED never hears the words in the correct manner & can act on these resulting in self hate, arguments or just within their own heads.  Comments I find helpful are:  You look so much happier recently  Your hair and nails are looking great  It's great to see you out tonight/today  Did you want to join us on a walk/coffee run? No pressure!  Unhelpful comments I find are:  Well done, you ate ALL of your dinner  Wow, you look great now you're eating again!  I take it you don't want a biscuit with your tea? You're so lucky to be slim/you're so lucky to be able to say 'no'  Wow, look how tiny you are! You must be a size 0?!  I wish I could 'diet' like you I could go on.... I'll follow up another post with more helpful comments this month! But always remind yourself you aren't doing wrong by trying to compliment someone, just rephrase it to that individual and think how they might portray it 🌞✌🏼 You're ALL beautiful 🤗 Fact: 0.4% of mental health research is on EDS

I’M BACK AGAIN✨ It’s been a long time coming, but I’m back and better than ever. Life has been a whirlwind lately, but I’m so grateful for everything coming my way. If you’re new here, hi! Let’s get to grips with what’s been happening, very brief and quick catchup let’s go!! RECOVERY 🌱 (tw food, ed talk, mention of calories) - I’ve found such a huge love for food again. Food that I enjoy eating, tastes amazing, and makes me feel good. I had enough of feeling hungry, or bingeing to make me feel something. Something that’s really helping me within my recovery is finding love for cooking again! It helped me realise, my body not only needs fuel, it deserves food - so why not treat it to something I made all by myself! 🧑🏼‍🍳 - I’ve got new goals to hit from my new amazing PTs over @primed_2_perform and am really focusing on reaching my calorie and protein goals within that. The difference in how my body and lil mind feel already is crazyyyy and I’m only on week 2 of this new chapter. 💪🏼 MENTAL HEALTH 🧠 - I started training at my dream school @theurdang in September ‘23. It’s been crazy. I’ll be so real, very very tough. It’s been too much for me to handle for many months. But we bounced back like always. I’ve never felt love like it. The joy and free therapy I get from this place is just mad. The admiration for my peers is mental, everyone is so crazy talented and it makes me strive to be just like them. It’s such a positive environment for me to be around. 🌟🌟🌟 TRAINING 💪🏼 - I’ve started a new gym! Yes, I’m well and truly back in my gym girl era. Not because I feel like I HAVE to but because I WANT to for myself, my mind and for how it can make me feel so good. Starting with @primed_2_perform has helped me so much. Only on week 2 of my programme but feels insane to be back to it with incredible guidance and support!🏋🏼‍♂️ Sorry to be short and sweet, but expect to see more of me! Regular posting will be coming back. Life is at its best right now, and I can’t wait to keep on growing with you! ✨ Kez x #recovery #beateatingdisorders #mentalhealth #training #dramaschool

Hi, I'm still here, sorry for the silence but I gotta express my voice 🤫 👋🏼 The last 4 years has been a juggle of wanting recovery but at the same time wanting a smaller body, smaller facial features, smaller clothes sizes but then turned into a smaller life. I have a smaller crowd, smaller life & I'm still in the same sized clothes. 2024 in particular hit different with my depression hitting an all time low, anxiety crippling my body 24/7, loosing relationships & finding myself relapsing again into the only thing I thought I had - anorexia. I have lost the ability to run, go to the gym, box or do any type of exercise. Pulling out of the world's biggest marathon this month hit me hard... But Ieaving exercise is definitely for the best for now. She's a love hate part of me, but by the end of the year I want her completely gone. Years of battling my brain, torturing & tormenting myself with morphed images of what other people may see I can't carry on with this other person joined at my hip. F*** You ED, I want you gone.. and I will have you gone. For anyone else struggling, we in this together we got this 👏🏼 Thank you to all my family and close friends who have never left whatever the circumstances, I know who my small army are ❤️ I LOVE YOU X Here's to the gains, of weight restoration, life, friendships and a lifetime full of new goals. Drop the comments on how people look, because they might feel the opposite within 🏳️‍🌈

It’s 4 weeks now until my 100k @ukultraltd event running the South Downs and I’m continuing to fundraise for the charity Beat Eating Disorders @beatedsupport . I thought I knew stuff about eating disorders until one form of it decided to visit one of my daughters….it turns out I knew nothing at all. It’s a condition that presents itself differently in all people that live with the unwelcome guest - it’s clever and will play and trick its host into behaviour that is contrary to logic and rationality as we generally view and experience logic and rationality. I’m no expert and I have no lived experience as a host, only as a carer and one that loves….. please see my JustGiving link below to read a summary of my story…. and if you can manage to contribute towards my efforts to fundraise I will be so very grateful. https://www.justgiving.com/page/russell-wheatley-1707848121500?utm_medium=fundraising&utm_content=page%2Frussell-wheatley-1707848121500&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=pfp-share To be continued… . . #beatedsupport #ukultraltd #longdistance #toughertogether #sunrise #ageisjustanumber #adventure #ultrarunning #ultratrailrunner #beateatingdisorders #dumpthescales #edgi #trailrunner #inov8 #noexcuses #salomon #hoka #toughmudder #toughestmudder #dryrobe #leki #runner #running #ocr #southdownsnp #wonky #garmin #what3words

EDs do not just go away during pregnancy. In fact, even if you've been stable in recovery for a while, this can be a really activating time for so many reasons. The societal messages around how we should just be grateful, and it's all worth it- are dismissive and keep those suffering in silence. There is an extra layer of guilt and shame that comes with struggling with an ED during pregnancy. That inner voice might sound like "you can't even get it together for your child?!" ⁠ ⁠ And of course, that is the worst thing to ever feel as a new parent. I hope you feel seen in these examples of common triggers. Please know you are not alone. If you are looking for more community, be sure to sign up for my upcoming support group for those navigating ED Recovery during Pregnancy/Postpartum! ⁠ ⁠ Link in bio or copy and paste here:⁠ ⁠ https://quiix8zs.paperform.co⁠ ⁠ xoxox,⁠ Allyson⁠ ⁠ #edrecovery #edsupport #beateatingdisorders #pregnancy #postpartum #bodyimagehealing #eatingdisorderrecovery #edtherapy #californiatherapist #losangelestherapist #sandiegotherapist
