Lifestyle and home remedies

To improve your chances of success in overcoming your eating disorder, try to make these steps a part of your daily routine:

• Stick to your treatment plan — don't skip therapy sessions and try not to stray from meal plans. Follow your doctor's recommendations on physical activity and exercise.
• Talk to your doctor about appropriate vitamin and mineral supplements. If you're not eating well, chances are your body isn't getting all of the nutrients it needs, such as vitamin D or iron. However, getting most of your vitamins and minerals from food is typically recommended.
• Resist urges to weigh yourself or check yourself in the mirror frequently. This may simply fuel your drive to maintain unhealthy habits.
• Don't isolate yourself from caring family members and friends who want to see you get healthy and have your best interests at heart.
