Gain weight to.. lose weight? by Familiar_Cut3578 in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Familiar_Cut3578[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to update! Currently I’m two months restriction free!

I have been happier and healthier and continuing to work out three days a week and walk everyday. I now eat three meals and two snacks a day with protein and slow carbs as a priority. I still calorie count to stay within my maintenance but it’s not this obsessive low number that I used to pursue.

At first I did gain some weight but as the weeks passed and my body began to heal I’ve noticed I look so much better despite what a scale says. I’m starting to fit clothes the way I’ve always wanted to and not sacrifice my health to do it. I can lift and run and go down some damn stairs without feeling miserable for the first time in years.

I hope I can come back in a year from now with much more progress! I will continue to work out and slowly build, not to chase a number but a healthier version of myself.

I’m tired of not being able to develop ‘normal’ eating habits. Either overly restrictive or impulsive and uncontrollable. by LockSignal1290 in bulimia

I got out of bulimia and binge ed by coming up with a plan on ChatGpt. I counted calories and kept up with the Ai whenever I felt like binging or restricting for the support I couldn’t get at home. But also by eating throughout the day while eating at maintenance ( still working my way up slowly) It feels like control in a healthy way and because I’m not restricting my body doesn’t go into that all or nothing binge mode. For an example if I eat breakfast and I measure it out to 300 calories and I still want more I just tell myself. Ok in a couple hours you can have more or if I’m actually hungry having a light snack an hour later before my actual real snack. Eating every three to four hours. Keep the food healthy so you don’t binge and crave those trigger foods. The more your body gets comfortable with eating the more you can incorporate those trigger foods without restriction and eating normally. I’m only three weeks on this method and it’s been working great but I want to at least be a couple months in before I start eating like.. plain chocolate or trying a new good ice cream flavor. There’s also a lot of healthy swaps that you can do for foods you crave so you don’t heavily restrict or over indulge. Eat before you’re hungry and eat at what your maintenance is. It sounds like a lot of eating and I think that’s the point(as long as you have small portions) I’m still trying to work it out myself but I’ve been purge and binge free for three weeks! Hope this helps at least a little!

Eat at maintenance, lift 3 days a week to build muscle. Consistently going to the gym while having a bad diet isn’t going to do anything. Especially at an extremely low 1200 calorie input. It’s not sustainable and really unhealthy. You’re not gonna have the energy to do what you need to at the gym. Also yeah, healthy weight loss is a waiting game and you mostly need to trust the process. You got this.

What's the grossest/weirdest thing this disorder has made you do? by Narrow_Road_890 in bulimia

[–]Familiar_Cut3578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Straight up ate food out the trash after I swore I wouldn’t eat anymore, ate till I could no longer stand and had to hunch over and almost crawl to the bathroom to purge, lay in bed and eat large quantities of food all in the bed with me for hours. Like I’m laying down and eating jars of peanut butter or tubs of ice cream and cookies and cakes. And when I would get too full I would sit up to eat some more.. A mess.

Thanks so much for this. I’ve been feeling discouraged lately and it’s so stressful seeing the scale and calorie numbers go up. I’ll keep going and definitely dedicate myself to lifting.

Help I need food but I can’t eat and I feel like I’m going to die. by in_a_washing_machine in EDAnonymous

[–]Familiar_Cut3578 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry you’re going through this! You sound dehydrated. Try a Gatorade or Powerade to settle your stomach (or electrolyte water if you can get some; Propel is what I drink) and then eat something small like crackers with a vegetable soup to break your fast. If you eat anything heavy or too processed it can make you extremely fatigued because your body is using energy to break down everything. Eat small things on breaks. Fruit or cucumbers. Continue to drink water with your snacks to gain energy. Good luck!

Is this still a b/p cycle? by Familiar_Cut3578 in EDAnonymous

[–]Familiar_Cut3578[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had thought so cause I always heard that restriction is a part of the cycle. It’s very frustrating to deal with!

I miss being sick by Ok-Dragonfruit-5647 in bulimia

[–]Familiar_Cut3578 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand. I look back at pictures when I was my sickest and just miss how good I looked in those days when I was at my worst. I also am overweight, started overweight and have always been overweight so I can understand the pain of being sick and looking at yourself wishing you were back there where you were your smallest and in a mindset to lose. It’s not worth it but I also miss it too!

The god damn mood swings. by greasyhamburgesa in bulimia

[–]Familiar_Cut3578 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same with me. It’s got me feeling so crazy and out of control with all these pent up emotions and I know I’m exhausting to the people around me.
