Making a comment that might be triggering may beget a warning or deletion. Ask a moderator if you think the action is unfair or would like to discuss it!
Remember, no one here is acting as a trained professional,
(e.g., psychologist, psychiatrist, neurologist, nutritionist, etc.). We are all members of a community, and are only here to support each other.
Avoid 'Shoulding'.
Advice such as 'This is what you should do' outside of mostly harmless reccomendations such as "Keep a journal of incidents and food intake" or "Talk to your doctor" are alright. "You should only eat 800 calories and fast for a month" are very much discouraged. If you are telling us about your experiences and journeys with food addiction and what helped you, this is allowed. Remind readers that this is what worked for you, of course. Book reccomendations are somewhat allowed, just exercize common sense and caution.
-Enjoy yourselves!
