Giving advice

Something which i can find hard sometimes is giving advice here on my blog. Mainly because i dont know who it is reading... or i mean, there are different types of eating disorders. Those with restrictve eating disorders, those who overeat, and those who only eat healthy, and others who purge etc

So sometimes when i give advice adn say that you should listen to your cravings, and eat every hour if it is that you are hungry... but that advice is most directed at those who have restrictive eating disorders, to tackle the strict following of meal plan that they might have. However, if you have binge eating disorder its actually better for you to make a meal plan and follow that until you feel that you no longer have the hunger and huge cravings which make you binge.

Aand then also at times i can reccommend exercise for stress, anxiety, relieving cramps, bloating etc (though i try avoid saying this as an option, as many might not be allowed at the moment) but this should only really be an option if you ARE ALLOWED to exercise. If you have a healthy or close to healthy BMI.

Also with extreme hunger... that can make you eat lots, but once again it can be hard giving advice about this because if you are an overeater you can go through the extreme hunger phase.. however, whether you should follow the hunger signals or not i dont really know. Because it can lead to binging.
   But the same with if you have a restrictive ED, sometimes it can be better to just follow your meal plan.... though extreme hunger is just a phase and it can be good to eat that bit extra.

In general the advice on my blog is a bit broad, and it doesnt apply to everyone. Because everyone is so different.
   Some people have it easier to gain weight, whilst others dont. So for some they need to eat 3000kcal aday to gain weight, while others might just ened 2200... There is not a one suit fits everyone.

I know not everyone agrees with what i write on my blog... and thats ok!!! You dont have to. Trust me, everyone has different opinions. Im pretty sure ive read things on other blogs and just thought, thats completly wrong. Or i dont agree with that...
   Like ive seen advice given to someone recovering from an eating disorder and the person told them that if it made it easier to recover they can turn vegan. And eating x amount of calories was ok, they didnt need to gain weight.
  However, i just thought the advice given was wrong. Because  Recovery ISNT easy, its not about making the easiest choice. But fighting the hard times so that it GETS easier.

If YOU ever have advice or another opinion - as long as its not too negative or triggering - you can feel free to post .As im sure its good to get different perspectives and opinions. Because i can only give my own advice and opinions, from my own personal view and experience. But the more advice the better :)

But i just want to remind you all, that sometimes the advice i give doesnt always apply to everyone. However you CAN email me for more personal advice, which suits you and your journey better :)
