Functioning Anorexic

Good Day Friends & Neighbors!

Yesturday my Husband & I were talking when he asked the most interesting question,
"Would you be considered a 'functioning' Anorexic? You know, like they have functioning alcoholics."
"Well, I guess I am." was my reply as i jotted those words down so i could come here to think this "new" idea through; sounded interesting enough for a theory.

As i've been traveling along in the mire of the ED Recovery Road for a couple of years, i know that i am still in the recovery process with a long road still ahead before i reach the finish line and can finally Be RecoverED and beyond that to Just Living My life.
Food is still a major issue with me. It's very strange that while the sun is out i have a very difficult time getting food into this machine - My body. If left alone, it is even worse as i seem to be in physical perpetual motion so that i "do not have time to eat. I'll eat later."

With Original Limu i am able to be that Functioning Anorexic. I can easily consume the recommended 2oz serving at once with no interruption from my ana.

Within just an hour or two very strange things starts to happen in my physical & mental being. My body actually starts to get hungry as my stomach is no longer in a silent repose just waiting for time to pass-knowing that i would not feed it anyway. Now, it starts to wake up and take a stand for itself because it knows that without it working it's job, none of my other organs can do their job.

Then my mind starts to take a stand as impressions of food and eating are imprinted on the front of the black veil concealing my AN. From her secret hiding place in the blackness, she desperately tries to maneuver to a more secure position of strength as she digs her heals in, once again forcing me to perform yet another physical activity as she tries to carry me away from all food and drink. As soon as I make an impression - just short of a verbal (in my head) "I'm hungry" or "I want to/should eat something" she wisks it away and erases it from ever being.

However! She is No match for the pure liquid nutrients & fucoidan that i pour in every day, several times a day. So, within hours of my 1st shot, my body and mind are awakened to see her attacks. No longer does that veil of darkness completely conceal her & allow her to physically manipulate and alter the functions of MY Body and MY Mind.

My Body is too smart for her now and she is NOT happy about it either.
There simply is absolutely No way my Anorexia can outwit the affects of Original Limu on this Body. 70+ nutrients that are pure & liquid go straight to work doing what my Body Needs them to do - without thought or mental/physical energy expended to receive them.


Can one be a "Functioning Anorexic"? I think that is the next step in Recovery.

Step 1: is to admit & actually See there is a problem and seek treatment/help.

Step 2: is to become a Functioning Anorexic.

What I mean by that is: You have to be Willing to take steps Everyday to put nutrients into You physical body. Whatever is Easiest for You, but Your day Must consist of Food nutrients- not just a multi-vitamin/mineral tablet and liquids.
At this stage, (in My) Anorexia is still very alive, alert, active & controlling at times throughout every day. She can No longer control every minute or every movement of every day like she once did.
I Am gaining ground. My ana is no longer ME and I am NOT my Anorexia; I am effectively Functioning Through my Anorexia daily instead of my AN Functioning For ME.

YOU Will too when You get to stage two. Just hang in there and keep putting 1 baby step in front of the other - Every day.

As long as we stay on The (ED Recovery) Road we WILL find That Place called:
A RecoverED LIFE!

Blessings of Peace & Health, Strength & Comfort to You!
