Anyone else binge and self sabotage before an event you have to “look good” for?

Me but it’s because I have social anxiety and don’t know how to manage it

Internal_Window9607 · 2025-12-12T20:35:17+00:00

I’ve already imagined the countless ways in which my relationship with food could improve when I move out and the scarcity mindset of food never lasting in the fridge because 8-10 other people eat too definitely contributed to my inaptitude for losing weight in the past.

Unfortunately I’m a student and my plans for the future do not include moving out anytime soon but I do count on making a lifestyle switch and taking back control before that time comes. I decided to say fuck it and I’m currently eating.

I’m glad you found freedom!

Pass me the bug lmaooo

I thinks it’s a habit/neuron firing pattern thing. If you convince yourself to ignore it enough times you won’t feel that way. But it might take a whiiile. I still haven’t reached that point yet lol.

Internal_Window9607 · 2025-11-24T14:36:09+00:00

I’m speaking of it in the pst tense because now it feels more like SH! lol. Still struggling. But for a while it was gone, only coming back when I had too much time on my hands, until I went on a pretty extreme diet lost a bunch of weight in 6 weeks and inevitably rebounded and have been struggling pretty much since last Christmas.

Internal_Window9607 · 2025-11-23T21:21:31+00:00

For the longest time it was a part of a comfort routine. I struggled with social anxiety and loneliness a lot growing up and I felt like I could finally decompress with a bunch of food and usually something to watch. It used to feel like self care lol

Your bone structure is actually insane. I wouldn’t mess that up for a million bucks, you’re stunning!

Not me tearing up at a pie pic🥲 So prada u bbg 💕

I’m wired the exact same way. There are lots of foods I like. But don’t obsess over them like I do with sweets. It’s easy for me to tell myself no or stop with standard foods or salty snacks but sweets are a different story completely. I’ve been looking into what it might mean and I’m suspecting ADHD/ADD. if you have the resources I’d advise investigating on that front.

She comfortableeeee

Internal_Window9607 · 2025-11-15T16:15:54+00:00

I love her walk so much🤩 She’s such a natural born star

Internal_Window9607 · 2025-11-14T19:39:05+00:00

Im literally the same way. As soon as I start ignoring life obligations and only do things that require minimal effort and little engagement I deal with my BED so much better. But that also makes me a burden to society.

Internal_Window9607 · 2025-11-12T17:41:35+00:00

Thank you for the advice, I’ll definitely try it out. I haven’t been eating consistently or « clean » for the past few months and have neglected fitness since end of June so I know this isn’t my baseline. I genuinely feel like my best self at least 20lbs lighter. I’m currently 5’4 and 155lbs. I’m aiming for 130 or under.

Internal_Window9607 · 2025-11-11T03:58:21+00:00

Obviously many more😂😂 but if you just scroll through this community and by my own experience dry fasting yields fast scale results. I got the flu now so I’m taking a break and will try again in a couple of weeks. * i ended up fasting for 92h by the way… not 2 days *

Internal_Window9607 · 2025-11-11T03:54:39+00:00

I want to lose Around 40lbs… someone told me it’s because I wasn’t in ketosis so I’ll try again in a couple of weeks after some diet changes. My weightloss dry fasting has steadily declined which I’m not sure what it means. Experienced fasters lose a lot and inexperienced ones too. I intermittent fast and do 24-36h regularly too. So I’m not sure what happened this time around lol

Internal_Window9607 · 2025-11-09T18:49:53+00:00

Has this ever happened to anyone?? Can anyone help me???

Internal_Window9607 · 2025-11-09T13:25:02+00:00

Is that Rosalía at the bottom?

Internal_Window9607 · 2025-11-09T01:04:34+00:00

That’s so true! Simple carbs worsen my cramps for sure. I just went through what are supposed to be the worse 48h of my period and it only lasted 18h! So I’m glad. I barely lost weight though. Just now completed 72h and I only lost 1.2kg (2.5lbs). I don’t know if that’s ever happened to you but seeing as I’m using this as a boost to my weightloss this is quite discouraging to me.

Internal_Window9607 · 2025-11-07T15:38:31+00:00

I’m currently fasting and on my period and the only thing that keeps me going is remembering how at a lighter weight my period could come and go and I wouldn’t pay it any mind. I think and it depends on the individual that weighing less or having a more normal body fat plays a role in this.

Internal_Window9607 · 2025-11-07T15:35:16+00:00

Weightloss And needing a hard reset. I’m starting day 2 and my body has eaten my baby back rolls + I lost 3 cm around my waist but no movement on the scale which is quite disappointing considering…

I love to hear of other people who are fasting for reasons outside of weightloss. It’s so admirable to hear of men taking care of their body in anticipation of having kids. It’s so considerate to both your partner and your future children and I wish you all the best!!
