i need advice
hey this is my first time using this so i don’t really know how to work it but this group looks like what i need, i’ve been on a diet for a while and though i like to think i still have a healthy relationship with food, sometimes it doubts me. i find myself binging every two weeks or so and i’m so grateful for that because it used to be every couple days but i have no idea how to stop it. it gets me so upset every time i’m doing so good and i’m losing the weight i need to lose and then i put it all at jeopardy. i have a good understanding in eating disorders and i’m not stupid but i have been worrying about my next binge lately because at this point it feels like i can’t control it. someone please tell me how to control the urges
@kennedy713 Hello! Recognising the issue is one of the first steps and I am so proud of you for taking this step and even further, reaching out for support. Binges can be super scary and feel like we are out of control and I can understand how stressful it is and wanting to stop it. Sometimes restricting for a long time can trigger the urges as we have deprived us for so long and it puts the mind and the body in so much stress that it can feel overwhelming and it gets to the point of a binge. I wonder what have you tried so far to cope with the urges? Maybe someone here has had a similar situation and can share helpful tips that has helped them
