It takes wisdom to realize that an EDz-experienced RD provides way more than information, helps make connections and influences actions by shifting thoughts and feelings.<br /><br />Hope it continues to be valuable.HikerRDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170145903147301280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-77574327223576426622012-01-12T16:30:37.455-05:002012-01-12T16:30:37.455-05:00"A 'Carrie is doing well' kind of rel..."A 'Carrie is doing well' kind of relationship" sounds pretty cool to me!

My therapist a few months ago suggested I do a "support meal" every once in awhile (or something of that sort...) and I adamantly said no... You know what? It probably would have been a good idea...<br /><br />My point is? I think you should be proud of yourself. For realizing that receiving help doesn't mean you're doing poorly at the moment... it can mean, instead, that you're being proactive.The Dandelion Girlhttp://www.thedandeliongirl.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-26342179442284989232012-01-12T06:03:15.238-05:002012-01-12T06:03:15.238-05:00I would love to see an example of a structured mea...I would love to see an example of a structured meal plan if your dietitian provides one.

I think sometimes it's easy to get "stuck in our ways" over time, especially when it comes to food habits, and having an outside observer offering advice can help to check any patterns or habits that might need to be adjusting to help you continue to enjoy new active hobbies.<br /><br />I just started seeing an RD again this past week also, and I know it can be a little nerve-wracking at first to have your food habits under the microscope by a new person, brave move!Cammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181004571609998125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-54894228568350421242012-01-12T02:48:08.221-05:002012-01-12T02:48:08.221-05:00Dieticians can be hugely helpful to people with ED...Dieticians can be hugely helpful to people with EDs, though I must admit that I turned my nose up at the idea of seeing one when I started my recovery 6 years ago. The reason was that I knew exactly what I should eat to gain weight; I knew what 'normal' portion sizes look like; I knew what a balanced diet was.. etc. This was something I had taught to Physiology students. <br /><br />The problem I had was getting over the fear of putting food in my mouth, chewing it and swallowing it. I needed to be de-sensitised to the stress of eating and all the phobic thoughts I had attached to it.<br /><br />I guess if you fear over- or under-eating, however; or not balancing nutrient intake, a dietician can be incredibly useful.<br /><br />I'm really happy that you're enjoying the cycling. Cycling is such fun :) If my knees and low back were not 'knackered' I'd love to do mountain biking for the sheer joy of it!Extra Long Tailhttp://www.extralongtail.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-52151918326654101802012-01-12T02:44:53.263-05:002012-01-12T02:44:53.263-05:00So this is the same RD you saw when you were strug...So this is the same RD you saw when you were struggling? That would be an interesting dynamic. Does the familiarity of that (of her) feel triggering at all?<br /><br />Such a cool post. Very curious to me to hear that you still have ed thoughts and yet are still in recovery mode. Very encouraging to me. Love to hear about your adventures- in life (biking) and in recovery (non-ed related RD appts).hmnoreply@blogger.com
