Breaking Free from Binge Eating & Slow Progress

Ive noticed Ive started gaining weight. I always tell myself that Im not going to binge eat, but its way easier said then done. Im making excruciatingly slow progress on my own, so I need some advice/help to make faster progress and stop gaining weight. I also have downfalls once or a couple times a week where I go backwards instead of forward, I just want to be done with this!! Its frustrating in all meanings of the word.

@Bekah24601

I'm sorry no one responded to your post!

I can hear how frustrated you are, and that you're in a very tough spot. Have things gotten any better the past few months?

I know it's hard to see anything good about the slow progress you're making--but to me it's impressive and I'm glad you're moving forward, even if very slowly. Sometimes slow progress is the most sustainable progress.

@Shanna every time I feel like I'm getting better and even lose a tinge bit of weight, I just end up fucking it up and gaining it back again. I'm fat and disgusting... maybe I deserve to stay this way because I can't control myself

@Bekah24601 I'm sorry things feel so frustrating for you. Not being able to lose weight doesn't mean you have no control--our bodies really fight any changes in weight! That's our built-in survival method. And often times, overeating is a sign of earlier restriction--our bodies feel denied or deprived and they want to compensate to protect us. You 100% deserve to feel comfortable in your body, and I believe it's possible (NOT easy, but possible) for you to get there, even if you aren't happy with you current weight. It's a very slow process. My body has changed a lot during my own eating disorder journey and while I'm not comfortable or happy with how I look right now, I work hard to respect it still and give it what it needs. Wishing all the best to you heart
