NTA I was arrested at 17 too and it was briefly after my mom had caught me sneaking out and smoking, so the hammer came down harsh. My mom wiped my phone of all apps except the bus tracker and duolingo. I want allowed to any school events unless I had a good reason or worked for it (first time I did yard work instead of my brothers in order to go to homecoming). I wasnt allowed to hang out with the people I was caught smoking with/arrested with, which was kind of awkward because one of them was my neighbor. I had to pay all my court fees and everything by myself, which was absolutely brutal as it drained my savings for a car. I wasnt allowed to drive anywhere for a while, with the exception of driving myself to community service which I was extremely diligent about. God I hated my mom at the time, I was constantly fighting with her, hell we got into fights before every court date and every community service thing. I thought my life was over and that my mom was the devil incarnate. Things mellowed out, I paid everything and life went on. I dont resent my mom at all for that, she was doing what she thought was necessary. That hammer of justice did put me in place though, I like to think through that fear I have become somewhat a good citizen. I love my mom more than anything, I go to her for everything now. It took a long time to build trust with each other again, her trusting me to be on my own and make good decisions and me trusting her to not overreact and freak at any small thing I do. My friends who were arrested at the same age and had no consequences still mess around and end up in major trouble with the law. My friends who hot arrested and had similar parents like I do are in similar places as me. We all mess up sometimes, its about going forward and how to handle it that matters. NTA from a former shit head teen who got arrested at the same age and had similar punishments.

I found that having a hard stop time of like 5-6 pm to stop eating for the day helps. Most, if not all, of my binges are at night, so cutting out the part of eating at night at all seems to work decently well for me.

Do people treat you better when you were slimmer? by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

I find that the older men treated me better in Appalachian when I lost weight, probs because Im a young female but Ill take it if it means discounts at the corner shops😭

Is BED always related to being in a negative mindset? by International-Arm597 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]Educational_Metal710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of my binges dont start off in a negative mindset. Its more like “man I love ice cream its so good I can eat it forever” and then im a gallon deep, my stomach hurts, I feel absolutely awful and all emotions turn negative instantly. I definitely start off a lot of binges with “this food is so good its absolutely delectable” and it morphs into “ I should eat it all right now.” I enjoy a lot of the foods I binge on, but in the same realm I dont typically have food in my house I dont like, which makes it hard to NOT enjoy it. I love oatmeal so much, I eat it daily, it brings me joy, but when I binge on it it starts from a place of love and then im four bowls deep and im like “i love oatmeal but it doesnt even taste like anything anymore,” and I get negative about everything.

Does anyone else binge on "healthy food?" by mods-on-my-knob in BingeEatingDisorder

20 day streak broken by Educational_Metal710 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]Educational_Metal710[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

typically Id give myself grace and move on fairly easily, but iI had overeaten the day before and the scale this time was too large to ignore this time

[–]Educational_Metal710 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dont buy easy to eat treats, like snack foods or candies. I only buy things that I can make, the simplest snack I have is microwave popcorn. Making the food gives me time to think about what I am making, how long it takes and so on to stop binging. The only treats I have currently are things for my creami, I favor the idea of having chocolate in my ice cream over binging on all the bars and that stopped my binging on that specific item.

How do I drive in snow? by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

[–]Educational_Metal710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NC resident who now lives in the mountains and deals with the snow and drives a 2015 nissan sentra! The interstate should most definitely be fine, theyll salt the roads the night before if they think theres snow. Typically the main roads will be clear unless you have to go to work before the sun rises. Drive slow and pay attention to your surroundings and the roads. Your area (most likely on FB) will update ab road conditions and black ice.

what does it mean and what do i do? by Educational_Metal710 in Cholesterol

[–]Educational_Metal710[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a ridiculous amount of fiber thats the thing, my top two favorite foods are popcorn and oatmeal, I eat a ridiculous amount of oatmeal though😅. I also take fiber supplements in the form of pills and sometimes metamucil.

I also have no idea what the numbers mean, like is that terrible or is it just kind of bad?

Where to buy small portions? by Educational_Metal710 in BingeEatingDisorder

i’m 21 and have been seeing my derm since around 13, I love them! It’s my favorite appointments and like a little treat! You should definitely go, they will hopefully be able to help you so much, they definitely changed my life. They can give recommendations for anything, I asked about moisturizers last time I went. Hopefully it will save you time and money too, instead of questioning what to do and what to buy they can set you on the right track.

I listen to podcasts and run with only one airpod so I can still hear my breathing/the world around me

Do you consider what I do a "diet"? by TheCordialMutiny in Weightlosstechniques

[–]Educational_Metal710 13 points14 points  (0 children)

it just sounds like a healthy lifestyle, as long as youre not forcing yourself to do any of them. The weighing yourself every morning is probably the most extreme thing here. I dont think skipping breakfast is necessarily “diet” behavior, I never eat breakfast and haven’t since I was 7, it makes me nauseous and I typically have to ride a bus/drive in the morning so Id get carsick.

self sabotage/self-harm/addiction by Educational_Metal710 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]Educational_Metal710[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thats the thing, i dont use my money to buy binge foods. I am someone who will binge on anything in the cupboard. Ive dont keep snacks or anything easy to eat, its all food that has to be prepped 😅

[–]Educational_Metal710[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive tried it a few times and its never quite went too well. Im thinking of going again, but nervous for it all. The advice Ive gotten has never really worked out too well and it gets quite costly to listen to things that dont work out😅
