T & I had a conversation a few days ago about my eating (or lack of eating). The problem after so many years of restricting.....my body doesn't tell me when it's hungry any longer so I'm finding it almost impossible to listen to a body that doesn't say anything unless it's about ready to collapse after days of not eating.

We talked about eating in terms of DBT......logically food is our source of enegry like gas for an auto....our body doesn't run without it & in terms of emotional regulation, food is necessary to regulate our emotions otherwise they get out of control. Taking care of our body in all ways is necessary for emotional stability & health which places eating as a skill that is necessary & at times that is all we can think of it as when eating starts to become a problem (my lack of eating is triggered by stress & feeling out of control in my normal every day life).....thus something I can control....but as I have said many times & my T also said....it takes more control to stay right at the place in my healthy weight that I am ok with...then it takes for the control to just continue to loose.
