Getting back on track

Getting back on track after an illness is hard. I'd say getting sick is a big trigger for anyone with an eating disorder. You may get thrown off track. I did. But it's only been a few weeks of struggling. We CAN turn things around. It's 100% possible to get healthy again. How do you get back on track? I have a few ideas.

1. Get back to your eating schedule/meal  plan. Follow it to a tee. Don't use this recovery period as a time to try out intuitive eating. Follow your plan. 

2. Ask for support: ask a friend, a parent, someone so you're not in this alone. I have peers I live with to support me. 

3. Make a plan. I am staying out of my room and bathroom an hour after meals. It's annoying but it will help me get back on track. 

4. Rest and get good sleep. Allow your body to heal. You need plenty of rest to get over being sick.

What else do you do to get back on track? I would love ideas!
