Binge eating disorder & support buddy?
I am really really struggling with my BED at the moment. I can't eat anything without it turning into a binge. I try to go outside and keep busy and that helps a bit(not always), but it's also truly exhausting having to keep myself busy in order not to binge. I just don't know what to do anymore, and i think having a support buddy/accountability buddy might really help me out. So if there's someone out there who's going through the same thing, who'd like to check up on each other daily, and support each other whenever we have cravings, then let me know.

Hi! Did you find a buddy? I am not able to but just wanted to check in. Yes it is hard! Food can be so much harder than stopping things like drugs/smoking because we can't isolate ourselves from food totally! We have to eat something. I found it helped to only have fruit and vegetables in the house, so if I binged at least it was healthy and I didn't feel awful later/the next day. And only shopping with a list and when I felt in the right frame of mind. Therapy can really help also, to talk through past issues and patterns that led to us developing these ways of coping. 💛
