Today my parents and the school have made me eat over (Edited out by Hope for mentioning specific calorie counts) calories in the past two days and I feel like a pig, does anyone have any coping strategies with reducing the guilt from food?? I'd love to be able to eat. 😔❤️

Hey there! it seems like you are having a tough time dealing with the guilt that follows us at times when we eat more than we think we should, it can be especially hard to eat if you have an eating disorder similar to anorexia or just a behaviour that restricts you from enjoying food and often parents/friends/family tries to force food on you because they are worried, the guilt doesn't go away in a day, to be honest but its a process, you can challenge the guilt by something positive like "I need to eat enough so I can study with proper focus", this seems to be quite challanging for you, have you considered discussing this with your loved ones?
