[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 334180, member: 3907"] Alyssa, First off, {{{{{HUGS}}}}}. This is a very hard road you're travelling. My personal belief is that eating disorders are an addiction, and possibly the hardest addictions to shake. Mainly because, unlike alcohol or drugs, you can't just give up food. You have to find a way to manage your relationship with food that you can maintain for life. My experience of eating disorder treatment is similar--I learned "tricks of the trade" from other patients, we compared notes, etc. I think your realization that you need to go back to the Residential Treatment Center (RTC) shows tremendous insight and strength. It's really hard to change the behaviour on your own, when you have all the old familiar triggers and stresses that make you want to restrict. I'm very proud of you for recognizing that. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. You CAN do this. I know you can. There is life on the other side of this. If you want to PM me any time, please do. Trinity [/QUOTE]
