Ed?
I love food and I used to eat a lot before (nothing crazy just a lot) then I started binging in my senior year and when I went to uni I continued to binge. However I wouldn’t binge too bad. I’d eat a lot yes and a lot of snacks yes but when I’d be full I would usually be able to stop. However I got rejected recently and I felt like it had to do with my weight and body image so I lost weight during lockdown (part of it was healthy but the other half was on restriction) I would eat as low as 800 calories per day. Once I reached one of my old goals I stopped for a while from dieting and I started to binge once a week so I don’t gain the weight again. I would binge by eating all the foods I love in the same day, like I’d try to fit them all in and in large quantities even if I’m full I’d continue eating. It reached the point where I feel nauseous at the end of the day. I then decided to go on a diet that a doctor would write for me but she made it so restrictive I can’t stop thinking about quitting and binging again. Like I keep telling myself so what if I eat everything and become so fat but then at other times I say what about the clothes I won’t fit in anymore. I just don’t know how to find a balance and not always wanna binge
Thank you for sharing this with us here, it can be confusing to know if you have an eating disorder at all. Do you think talking to a nutritionist might be helpful for you at all?
@plumShade3492 For me it's all about finding a thing you can do instead of binging. If you can replace it with something, or if you can just find something that can distract you. For me it's going outside. For walks or bikerides. And not go grocery shopping while hungry. That helps me at least :)
