I know it's hard, but if you're starting to overdo it, a break would be good. Some people might find reminding the worst parts of when they were at the worst (and knowing it can get to that point again) helpful (I mean, I don't, but I'm not really at a point I'd say I'm' in recovery). It sounds a bit repetitive, but I know I look back to the worst time I'd been, I can find some good and that good seems worth it with ED thoughts so I have to keep in mind the weakness, the Mallory-Weiss tear, the inability to think outside of the ED, the hair loss, the fights, the comments from other people, etc.

Completely stop? I don't think so. Maybe try to go back to the old routine. Ugh, I really hate this. One the one hand, my body is telling me to slow down, I'm not 20 any more either, on the other hand, starting to see results toning. I still have the scale unfortunately. I am not losing weight. I still weigh more than I did a year ago, which is low-normal. I weigh normal, normal as in smack dab in the middle of normal for my height, but of course, I can't see that.
