Hi there. As someone who has had eating issues off and on for ten years now, I really want to help you and send you good vibes. I don't want to say the wrong thing, though, so please clear up for me before I give any advice: when you say food thoughts, what do you mean? Like eating all the time?

yes
Ok. Thanks for clarifying. Is there any way you could have something to focus on when you start having eating thoughts? Like maybe squeeze a stress ball, or start a certain activity? Eating is healthy, so please don't skip any meals doing this.

i'm in recovery, but those thoughts seem to be coming back... today i almost binged but even tho i didn't binge i purged. having control over your restrictive/binge/purge behaviors is the stairway to recovery. every feeling of lost control over your eating isn't healthy and that's the fact, and today i didn't have control over eating but neither did i over purging. and i'm at the healthy weight so all i need is to actually maintain, which makes my fear of gaining worse. but i somehow maintain, which is great because that's my goal.
i'm worried about losing control anyway
