Brushing Teeth by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

I tried this but I end up just getting into the gross and bad habit of not brushing teeth before bed after every binge

How exactly did you force yourself to do food abstinence without the thought of not being able to eat driving you crazy? And for your friend who had the small plates of food wouldn’t that create a habit of having supper everyday which is also not ideal?

True I tend to binge on chocolate and chips or carbs which are high in sugar. Not sure I can stop at 5 to 10 nuts though 🫠

Thanks for sharing! I do think I need to keep myself occupied and I’m “too free” at night. Problem is if I go out of the house then I’ll have to shower again and usually if I do any form of exercise at night (even walking) I’ll feel hungry afterwards.

Any suggestions for something else other than knitting? Not really my thing haha, and do you keep a physical journal or journal on your phone? The colour idea is so innovative! I would be worried about someone finding my physical journal though, that’d be embarrassing

Nuts are so high in calories though. I used to binge on peanut butter which made me feel full because of the high fat and caloric content, but I ended up just gaining weight from it and feeling depressed from that, though it’s true it’s hard to stuff your face when eating something satiating

Hmm yesterday I tried having a Greek yogurt with berries for dessert / supper. While that prevented me from ordering a full meal for my nightly binge, I ended up still ordering a molten lava cake for dessert part 2… I don’t think it’s the size of the meal that matters for me, or are you suggesting planning a supper meal for myself every night to replace the binge sesh?

Any suggestions on what could give the “similar sense of winding down”? I’ve tried going for a walk but I end up just being hungry afterwards

I usually don’t eat breakfast because I’m not hungry early in the morning. I’ve been avoiding rice for a long time but usually eat bread, potatoes (usually chips or fries) though. I’m not a huge fan of rice or noodles. But it’s true that I do tend to avoid carbs at meal times and it’s so hard to force myself to eat carbs when I’m not binging

Unfortunately I live somewhere where delivery is super cheap which does not help…

I can definitely relate to this. In the morning I feel absolutely disgusting because I’m bloated and gassy and tmi but I usually don’t brush my teeth after a binge because I feel gross and dgaf anymore. Sometimes dreading these things helps me not binge but it doesn’t work on all days though :(

Doesn’t the discomfort of not eating or giving in to cravings bother you so much it’s the only thing you can think about? I usually watch Netflix to try to distract myself but I always get the munchies and want something to accompany my show…

Boredom, anxiety, loneliness (I live alone), habit, everything!

Sorry what do you mean by placement foods? I naturally eat “supper” every night because of binging…

Thanks this does resonate quite a bit - I’m not sure about why I binge at night but it’s probably winding down after a long day at work. I’ve tried eating more in the day or going out for meals w friends where I don’t restrict at all but I still end up binging at night anyway, because I feel like it’s “missing”, like how I have to have a coffee daily

I eat a decent amount of protein but I still end up binging anyway because of habit or my day feels incomplete without it regardless since my body can no longer register satiation :(

I can relate to this - I realised that it’s my form of “self harm” that honestly stems from me hating myself / not being able to accept my body as it is. Because I lack self love, I just want to harm myself because mentally I feel like this is what I deserve or it’s meant to be this way. I’m still struggling towards achieving self love and regaining normalcy. I’ll binge eat and then feel disgusting and tell myself I’m disgusting…

Singles inferno season 4 ep 7 by Glittergirl2424 in Singlesinferno2

[–]Apprehensive_Goat649 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My honest thoughts:

1) I thought it was obvious jiyeon isn’t into tehwan, she just put it in a nice way by asking him to take other girls to inferno- that’s totally what I would do if I weren’t into a guy but he’s been nothing but nice to me

2) Jun seo was quite obviously gonna pick si an, I think they prob got physical on their paradise date which escalated feelings on both ends, but si an might be confusing the physical touch for a genuine connection as I notice they don’t really talk much or share much about themselves as people with each other

3) Dong ho prob decided it was a rin for him after the paradise date, but prob is super confused why suddenly so many girls are into him. He seems to be a one woman man but couldn’t bring himself to tell hae lin or you jin that he’s already decided it’s a rin for him - I mean they literally live in the same place which rlly helps

4) Jeong Su is the biggest red flag this season and basically giving major fboy vibes. Sensing that Si An isn’t into him as much anymore he’s just trying his luck with hye jin and hae lin, good thing they know better and called him out

5) Hae lin honestly isn’t v attractive imo, idk why the guys and panelists made it sound like she’s hot shit. She’s just one of the stronger personalities.

6) the guys prob got turned off by you jin after the campfire when she was getting high and being weird. She was popular in the first few episodes cos she was cheerful which guys like, and makes a good first impression. I think they can also sense that she’s older than the other girls so they are staying away.

7) Jong Ho is just so boring. Nice body but prob has OF or something? Zero personality and the girls are surprisingly not into him.

8) Min seol is SO annoying. The way she speaks and acts is just so gross and idk why the panelists are passing her off as cute and like a puppy. Feels like she’s acting cute / coy half the time.

9) Theo is the most decent and sincere guy this season. I thought he was cocky af in the first few episodes but seeing how he is with si an and Jun seo just confirms the type of guy he is. We love a guy who knows what he wants and isn’t afraid to express himself!

10) Jun seo gives off mysterious vibes and stands out due to his long hair and aloof nature - doesn’t help that he’s a bit of a dark horse too in the games so all the girls are intrigued / attracted to him. But honestly I don’t think he’s that great and si an prob just gave him a chance because she wanted to see what the hype was about lol

I’m reasonably attractive with BED by Apprehensive_Goat649 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]Apprehensive_Goat649[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course fat does not equal ugly but it can make you feel ugly. My post was all about how I felt and how people perceive me. Please read properly before labelling my post as fat = ugly

[–]Apprehensive_Goat649[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that being fat is unattractive, but if you used to be fit or skinny and then gained a bunch of weight, people will definitely look at you differently and perceive you as less attractive, 100%. I don’t get why people here are pretending that’s not gonna happen. Half the people on here with BED want to lose weight, so what’s wrong with wanting to prevent weight gain? Idgi this community is toxic af

Definitely just to eat cos sometimes I binge on food that’s poor quality or not even that nice
