Am I eating to much

When trying to recover from anorexia, is it best to keep over eating because I eat even when I'm really full everyone around me thinks I eat too much, but is this the best thing to do?Ive heard I should eat whenever I think about food to get over this but is this right as I don't even know when I'm hungry or full anymore?

I find I never know when I'm actually full and when my anorexic head is telling me I'm eating too much - however - are you getting any help with this - suggest you contact ABC and ask them if they have guidance over portion sizes and meal plans - or if you can get help from your GP/practice nurse re diet - push to get some help - getting your eyes and stomach in line can take time and its really hard to do without help - so do get some "professional" advice. Good luck with recovery.
