Overeating
Hello. I was doing really well with my meals and snacks and working out. But then my uncle said to me one day when I mentioned a girl for his son, “that girls not good for him. She’s too big and dark skinned like u”. (We are Indian btw) Since then my self esteem dropped, I overeat to fill the emptiness I feel. I gained over 25 lbs. I don’t know how to stop.
@Wavescurrent7622 That is harsh of him to say! How dare he! What an asshole! I would kick his butt if I could. Everyone(!) is beautiful in their own way dear. Trust me on that. You will not feel better by eating more: That will only make it worse - but again I think you know that 
In the moment it helps to eat. It feels like comfort. but I struggle so much afterwards. I know it’s not worth it, but I tend to shift between overeating or not eating at all. Both are unhealthy. My self esteem is shit rn unfortunately. Thank u for replying
I go through similar cycles. It helps me to eat big healthy breakfasts when I'm not hungry at all. Then I'm digesting food all day and I usually have more control over my urges later on. I would also recommend filling your free time with something important that makes you feel good about yourself. Unfortunately there will always be people trying to tear us down. All we can do is believe in ourselves enough that those kind of comments don't mater so much. I guarantee you, there are people all over the world who would find your skin and your body attractive just the way it is. #positivity <3
That’s powerful that you recognize that trigger! How have you been doing lately?
