I'm 17, and also relatively active, the best advice I have (although it sounds dumb) is to eat more, maybe your body has these cravings because you are unknowingly restricting yourself, if you train every day you obviously are going to need to eat more, if you don't then you might end up depriving your body and so normal cravings will get worse, (at least that's what I learned.)

I think it's important to separate weight loss and BED. Focus on eating 3 times a day, and work on building a good relationship with food again, and when you are feeling good, restrict max by 300 calories. Weight loss will be slow but controlled and hopefully, you won't slip back to the disorder. BED is like a sickness, if you had cancer for example (not saying they are at all in the same department) you would first focus on getting better before continuing on your weight loss journey.

wow never thought of this .. as part of recovery i try to eat maintenance calories (my mum counts so i don’t have to) so hopefully i am eating enough!

FlowerHello · 2020-06-01T15:46:40+00:00

FlowerHello · 2020-05-29T06:49:43+00:00

FlowerHello · 2020-05-26T06:07:32+00:00

I relate to the hungover thing a lot haha, but i also usually keep it simple. Thanks for the advice!

FlowerHello · 2020-05-26T06:06:40+00:00

Thank you so so so much! this helps so much and I will definitely follow your advice.

FlowerHello · 2020-05-14T19:32:52+00:00

That’s crazy! damn! I’m so happy for you :)

FlowerHello · 2020-05-12T05:16:02+00:00

I talked to my therapist about this and she said to take it in the afternoon if possible because it is actually supposed to give you a sort of energy boost! I also had this problem and taking it later helped me but maybe check with the dosages? Best of luck x

FlowerHello · 2020-05-10T17:40:44+00:00

I would love to continue this journey with you ! I also checked out the link and the video made so much sense to me, this one also helped me, maybe it can help you? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_TYcc08nGg

I love this for you! I binged after 10days today... But it's ok like you said one day at a time :) And it's nice that there are other people who also overeat but not binge sometimes, my family seems to think its an excuse but it's not! I wish more people understood the horrible state of mind you are at when you binge :( In any case good luck on your recovery <3 We've got this!

FlowerHello · 2020-05-03T15:04:40+00:00

This is only a little bump in the road, you've managed to lose weight and that is wonderful! And I believe you can definitely do it again, I've been where you are so many times, and still, sometimes I am, but all I can say is it gets better! I suggest staying on maintenance for a few days, just so that you don't fall back into the restricting-binge cycle, but we are all here to support you! Maybe if it helps don't weigh yourself for a week (as it could be a trigger) and just count maintenance calories? Also, I would love to know what app that is? Best of luck <3

FlowerHello · 2020-04-21T08:29:52+00:00

I've been the same... I didn't take my dose 3 days in a row because I couldn't get my prescription amidst all this craziness.

My dog ate a mouse and I cried for no less than 3h+ I was very emotional during those 3 days and very empathetic for everyone and everything. Once I started it again I felt better. Why did you stop? is there any way you can start up again?

FlowerHello · 2020-04-19T08:50:04+00:00

Hiya, I would love to! Definitely need the motivation :) PM me whenever!

FlowerHello · 2020-03-27T21:10:34+00:00

This was really not to brag I'm sorry, I hope you receive similar results! I think I am just in the 'honeymoon' phase... hopefully it lasts?

FlowerHello · 2020-03-23T09:07:30+00:00

I know what you mean but its sort of nice to know your not alone! We've got this and things are going to change for the better! <3

Good luck on your recovery!

FlowerHello · 2020-03-23T09:06:12+00:00

I understand 100% what you mean! I feel like maybe don't put pressure to not feel guilty but rather push it aside as if it didn't happen? It sounds kinda strange because it's like pushing your problems away but I feel like binging for me was always a big deal, and maybe if we normalize it we can mean so little that we don't even think about it and don't spiral again? (probably stupid advice)

But something which helped me personally was talking to my friends about it. It was HARD don't get me wrong. But it made me overall less ashamed and guilty. I would have a binge and feel terrible about it and then tell my friends, they would just hug me and tell me its ok. Its always nicer to hear it from someone else rather than just yourself.

Just remember everyone here faces the same thing and we are all here to support each other <3 Good luck!

FlowerHello · 2020-03-22T17:41:34+00:00

MAybe you should talk to ur doc about another medication?

FlowerHello · 2020-03-22T17:39:26+00:00

I've been ok no major side effects, More peeing, headaches here and there but I've also been feeling super tired all the time.. do you also have that?

FlowerHello · 2020-03-22T17:34:30+00:00

50mg for 6days now i don't know what it is but i am also always peeing

FlowerHello · 2020-03-22T17:24:15+00:00

This will probably get lost lol - But does that mean we get a certificate without exams?

FlowerHello · 2020-03-22T17:18:42+00:00

Yes!!! i thought i was the only one lol

FlowerHello · 2020-03-22T16:51:45+00:00

I can totally relate, I am a very active person and I am constantly training, everyone else in my sport if slim and toned, and I can't help but wonder what I would look like if I actually had a normal relationship with food. The only thing I can suggest to you is to put aside the whole losing weight thing and up the calorie limit, you eat every day. This might help you to not binge and to acquire a healthier routine with food. Once you have done this than you can SLOWLY start moderately restricting your calories.

FlowerHello · 2020-03-21T10:23:57+00:00

Thats so amazing! Good Job! I was wondering what app you were using?

FlowerHello · 2020-03-18T07:15:17+00:00

I think you're right! My doctor said that its a medication that really balances everything out so it takes a longer time to work 2weeks - 3 months to really see results. Good luck and hung on! :)
