I have been back at a healthy weight for awhile now. But I find myself more tired. I was functioning pretty well once I started recovering. But now I am just sluggish all the time and I feel lazy and unmotivated to do anything. Almost like how I felt when I was emaciated. Has anyone else experienced this? I want to be excited to do stuff again. Especially now with summer coming.
Hi Abby!!
I can definately relate to how you are feeling.
When i went to treatment for my eating disorder I was really underweight. And after i had been there for awhile and got back up to a healthy weight my body seemed to be then giving up. i had 0 energy to do anything and i was more dizzy than when i was underweight. After about a month or so after i started experiencing that i finally started feeling better and more motivated to do things.
Maybe you could try planning new, different, fun things to do. That way you can look forward to doing something and hopefully start getting your energy back up. Some things that i like are hiking with friends, playing frisbee, doing zumba or yoga, or even going on a short little road trip with a couple friends. Just some thoughts! :)
I've heard zumba is really fun. I'll have to give that a try and see what everyone is talking about. Thanks for the tips!
