Yeah... the mysterious set point... and to be honest I have made a lot of progress but have been having a few really rough days so trying to figure out how to keep them isolated... yeah I have a therapist... I have been lucky to have a few great ones of them in private practice, treatment centers, or programs as well over the years.

Been battling my eating disorder and in and out of treatment for the past almost 20 years (when I think of the house I could live in and own if I hadn't had to spend so much money on treatment ha ha)....

I try to say that I really trust them because I haven't liked some of their answers lately so I think I am trying to remind myself that they do have my best interest at heart and that I should trust them and not my eating disorder but the last week has been really hard because something has me totally triggered, frustrated, confused, and totally in my head.

I would be careful with rationalizing being below a healthy weight... I too was an athlete and I used that to hide my eating disorder behind that and until my college coaches/team/trainers confronted it people let me... yes I was an athlete and did have very demanding workouts and all because of that but I was also compulsive with my exercise and that has been a hard part of my eating disorder to battle... it was also one of my ways of purging that I downplayed because it seemed "healthy" when it was not at all healthy and very dangerous. It is all about balance and if someone does workout a lot then they need to be in-taking more nutrients to sustain the activity... just my two cents from my experience....
