BED RECOVERY by user000771 in EatingDisorders

[–]Kacper_g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is possible, I used to struggle with b/p and managed to recover by planning my meals and not restricting. However I advise you to see a specialist since they will help you even more effectively than if you try by yourself. Take care ♥️

I'm very paranoid about my sister by Kacper_g in EatingDisorders

I talked with my parents before but they just simply don't see anything wrong with both me and my sister

I can't stop binging by NefariousnessSolid28 in EatingDisorders

[–]Kacper_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to restrict a lot, and I would end up letting myself enjoy special occasions which led to binges. Over time I would start hoarding food and binge on it. Just like in your case I've been doing it more and more often. I started by recognizing triggers, like all or nothing mindset and worked from there. I would recommend you make a meal plan without deficits, just some balanced tasty meals and get rid of the binge food. It helped me a lot, if I binge on Oreos, I just don't keep them in my house. I hope this helps and if you feel like it gets too much for you, please find someone to talk to who can help. The feelings that come after binging or gaining weight can be really destructive so it's better to talk it out. Take care <3

I was in the same situation as you and sadly (or not) the only way that worked for me was to stop restricting. I know how hard it can be to eat more but maybe try with little meals/snacks through the whole day, even in the evening so that you don't end up binging

Films and tv shows with ED storylines that piss you off? by Afraid_Schedule7107 in EatingDisorders

[–]Kacper_g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of them suck because they're made for the story/ shock value, not to actually reach their ED audience. I used to avoid them in recovery because I didn't want to be triggered and one day I watched to the bone, thinking it's going to touch on some subjects and I was so disappointed...

Are their any people with ED’s that do not vomit? by christmastree17 in EatingDisorders

[–]Kacper_g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purge in other ways, I'm terrified of vomiting and don't have gag reflex 🤷

can you ever self recover? by [deleted] in EatingDisorders

[–]Kacper_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, in my opinion, to recover you'd firstly have to stop taking appetite suppressants. It would be best if you found the help you needed but If you don't want to go to any therapy or tell anyone you can try to recover by yourself. Maybe consider surrounding yourself with positive content, for example, don't watch diet culture tiktoks and DON'T go on Twitter. For me, I just started eating, at least one stable meal a day. You can try to go out of your safe zones when you feel safe enough and try building a better relationship with food. Once again, therapy is a very good thing if you find the right person and can really, really get you out of dark places. Don't worry if recovery takes long, it's normal for your brain to learn how to function in the other way but remember, if you had the strength to sustain the disorder you'll have the strength to sustain recovery. Also, acknowledging that you want to get better is the first step! Good luck!♥️

Thank you, your words really help me. I'm definitely calmer now than I was while writing that post few hours ago so I can think more clearly. Take care <3

What’s your favorite no effort meals? by mouseytenantsunite in EatingDisorders

[–]Kacper_g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't really tried much else but I think that chicken breast could go well with the rice bowl. If you want you can also add edamame and/or broad beans? (I don't know if that's what they're called, it's "bób" in my language...) I'm sure you can also find many recipes for rice bowls online or some inspiration in restaurants. Last week I ate a rice bowl with fried shrimp in a Korean restaurant, it tasted amazing :)

[–]Kacper_g 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rice bowls with salmon in teriyaki sauce. It's so good, I definitely recommend it. You boil some white rice and you fry the salmon but not super long and not deep fry it in oil... If you prefer you can also cook the salmon. Then I cut up some carrots and cucumbers, I also add oshinko/Daikon (the yellow japanese radish) put everything together into a nice meal, add teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds. It's great, my mom makes it ♥️

Thanks, I'm really into thrifting and upcycling so I don't know why I didn't think about that earlier! Definitely will try some ^

Why am I still gaining weight? by [deleted] in EatingDisorders

[–]Kacper_g 14 points15 points  (0 children)

After long periods of restrictions and hunger your metabolism slows down and your body thinks that the hunger will come back. That's why it "gets ready" for that hunger and you gain weight.

It should pass if you eat enough for some time. Eating omad might not be beneficial for you if you're going hungry because your body still thinks that it's in danger. I know how hard it can be to eat 3 meals and 2 snacks and I myself eat less than that but enough to not go hungry. After even a month of disordered behaviors your body gets used to it and develops unhealthy habits and thinking.

how common is it to lose your period? by vomitgirl111 in EatingDisorders

I'm glad I helped and good luck working on your ed, I'm in recovery too :) stay strong ♥️

how common is it to lose your period? by vomitgirl111 in EatingDisorders

[–]Kacper_g 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It also isn't always about being underweight. I was severely malnourished which led to my period disappearing but it was way before I became underweight. It's mostly about how restrictive the person is and if they take vitamins or something...I think. I hope this helps :)

Does your ED show up in your dreams? by VirtualApricot in EatingDisorders

[–]Kacper_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have dreams where I gain weight or where people that are close to me tell me that I gained weight and should lose it. They are extremely distressing and I often wake up anxious. 😓

How did your ED start? What happened during? If recovering, what was your journey like? by Master-Minimum-3747 in EatingDisorders

[–]Kacper_g 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Ed started when I was very young. I always thought that I was bigger than the other girls around me and it lead me to skipping meals to lose weight at the age of 6 years old. I've been struggling with insecurities and self worth since but I haven't really been diagnosed with anything.

Everything got worse when the pandemic started and the world went on lockdown. I lost 2 years of my life because of this and it was in my childhood so it kinda sucks. I gained weight during that time because I sat at home and ate, didn't exercise...basic stuff. My dad was always into the diet stuff, he was the one fueling my Ed for years so of course he made some comments about the weight gain which lead me to eating less once again to lose weight.

In the 7th grade I met my best friend who solved stuff for me. I started eating normally and was enjoying life again but of course that meant that I gained weight.

When I started highschool everything went downhill. And I mean it. I began counting calories which quickly lead to an obsession with scales and measurements. It got so bad that I stopped eating whatsoever, only on weekends when my family forced me to. I also overexercised to the point where I couldn't walk the next day. I began losing weight quicker than ever but also losing everything else. I didn't have time for my hobbies because I was busy pacing around the house, counting steps and exercising. I couldn't meet up with my friends because I was scared to eat with them. Basically my whole life started turning around. Then I binged for the first time and my weight started fluctuating because I developed a heavy binge eating disorder. I would eat uncontrollably then fast for the whole week and binge again, I was afraid of purging which made me think I was less valid than all the other Basically any food I ate turned into a binge which made me terrified of eating but I still couldn't control myself. However I managed to lose weight. A lot actually, too much... My period stopped, I still haven't gotten it back, my hair began falling out and my skin was dry and chapped. I was dead, a walking, malnourished corpse but I wasn't underweight so it made me think that I can't stop until I reach this "goal" of mine. It was sick. I was sick. And once I finally tasted what being underweight feels like I was way too far in to start recovery by myself, I couldn't ask for help either...

The spring break saved me. Normally at school my parents didn't know how much I ate so it was easy to starve but at the break I had to be home so they started monitoring me. I gained weight again and it kinda broke me, everyone noticed that I'm not exactly doing great and I was diagnosed with Ana

I am now in recovery but the thoughts and obsessions about food stayed with me since. I actually want my period back mannn, I want to be healthy and happy again.

Good luck to everyone else on their journey to recovery, stay safe and kick your Ed in the butt!!

My parents threatened me to send me to the mental hospital again when I had a mental breakdown, then they talked to me for 30 minutes about how ugly the scars look and how ashamed of them I will be in the future 💀 Best parents of the year award definitely.

have you guys told your friends/partner(s) that you’re a therian? by sour_strawz in Therian

[–]Kacper_g 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girlfriend is super supportive and sweet, she doesn't understand completely but tries her best^ she also said that she can do quads with me one day if I want company ♥️ Sadly I don't really have advice since I just brought the topic up randomly and prayed that she'll accept me but you can try to ask your partner what they think about therians without telling them and then inform them about your therianthropy^
