I never imagined helping myself or a loveone to begin recovery from compulsive eating disorder or those suffering from Anorexia or Bulimia nervosa could be hard at all. With just few clicks and tap on my phone or handheld device, recovery is possible. At first I thought that sharing this to my therapist would sound discouraging, as personally discussing food issues is really unimaginable for me. But no, he never disagreed at all. This is also better than keeping a regular food diary. The positive quotes that pop up with each log entry are those I really liked, also the reminders -- reminds me to eat - feels that someone is really supporting you. I highly recommend this app to anyone who is struggling with an eating disorder.I really like this app and have found it to be extremely helpful.
As I really know how it feels to be wanting to recover but hesitant with a lot of setbacks and relapse, trying this app motivated me to begin and continue with my recovery. Please try http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/recovery-record/id457360959?mt=8.
Hi Jenifer, I was roaming around the web, checking for someone with ED whose also using this amazing app, Recovery Record. I am using this personally and I am just so eager to know why some have not tried it yet. I am an anorexic patient and undergoing therapy. This app monitors daily behaviour and empowers users with a comprehensive, up-to-date record of their recovery progress. This also reinvents pen and paper homework with a rewarding Phone application that will increase motivation, monitoring and importantly, recovery. I think this is available for android phones too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Helen. I'm glad that someone noticed my blog. I just wanted to share this and also be able to help others who find recovery difficult.
ReplyDeleteHello everybody... I think I have eating disorder for quite some time. I think it’s because when I was young I think...grade school, I was flabby and the neighbor of my cousin told me that I’m the ugliest among my cuz. Ofcourse I was hurt but I didn’t show any of them that I was. But deep inside of me I'm asking myself, why they think that I’m the ugliest, maybe I am fat or have dark complexion compared with my cousins. From then on, I’m being aware of the food I ate, sometimes I’m counting the calories and carbo but I love to eat, my mum is a great cook, I want to eat plenty of food but I’m afraid of getting fat that why I purge, from then on whenever I eat I tried myself to take away the food I ate. Until now that I am 30, it’s routine for me to flush out and I feel better when I do that. I don't divulge my eating disorder. I’m afraid.
ReplyDeleteHi Jasmine, I understand what you are going through. But recovering from eating disorder is hard specially when you have no support from the persons most close to you and that is your family. Until you finally realize that you are ready for recovery, then family support is important. Are you ready for recovery? Why don't you try the app I was mentioning in this blog? It's not helpful alone of course but it's a good tool to start off. Good luck!
