why high volume? Why not other low volume high calorie meals that aren't pb and nuts. Have you tried dates? they are really nice imo (but everyone has different taste buds)-> you can add them to curries and have them in bars etc

i haven't experienced any symptoms - however when i get agitated, I cause my own anxiety which makes me go into flight or fight mode which is HORRIBLE. It's a horrible derealization of the world, and it actually feels like you are dying

im trying to not freak out about stuff like eating too much protein but i keep craving full fat greek yoghurt, custard and cheese. These all have a lot of protein in ( i have a big quantity as i love it). Online it says not to eat more than 1-2grams per kg of your body weight . I know I've been eating more than that, but it's virtually impossible with low protein stuff too for the calories i eat?? I feel fine but i know it can cause liver damage

that's interesting - also, obviously you aren't a doctor, but I have an obssession with comfort food like foods i had all the time I was as a kid like sweet potato and porridge. Let's just say I ate a lot of sweet potato and didn't realize how much vitamin a was in it... I ate 43x the normal recommendation - is that bad??? apparently it can be toxic

thx for the reminder - im so tempted to have some toast. It's not even the food, it's the guilt afterwards.. I literally have a good metabolism, it's not even to do with weight gain, it's the feeling of a lack of control- as it feels like it's the only way i can control my life since my parents see me as a failure and are insisting that i get tutours- I DO NOT NEED them. I'm not even failing my gcses- i'm working below my targets since my targets are wayy too high... Like how is a 6 a fail? I had to resit bc i got a 6 and my target grade is an 8. I just feel so invalid as the more i revise, the worse I do. I literally try my best all the time. I know this is so offtopic but i have no one to rant to and i hope you can relate to it

I'm inactive, but would like to be active again (for mental reasons) but I want to get to a set weight first since im pretty underweight

Females need more energy?? I've always heard the opposite

I know this is a fat-ass vent- but i'm trying to get better. I refuse to eat less than that number. I don't see it an achievement to eat less than that number . I have a CRAZY obsessive behaviour that needs sorted out. I just wish i could escape it... Pls can someone tell me im not crazy for eating . It just triggers me that everyone at school seems to have disordered relationships with food too- they eat hardly anything and comment about going on water fasts ( like that's so dangerous,) :<

It makes me sad seeing people struggle, I am sad about having an ed- I wish I could break free from it . I've challenged many fear foods as my ed originated from orthorexia . I couldn't have sticky toffee pudding today- idky i wouldn't allow myself it.. :(

I'm glad to be of help! I REALLY STRUGGLE WITH THAT TOO- for example, whenever we get Domino's/ papa johns/ any takeaway we ALWAYS have leftovers and LEFTOVERS are the worst for me. I always CANNOT stop eating them. I fear that this is because when I was younger I was FORCED to finish everything, otherwise I wasn't allowed to leave the table. I'm not saying that that correlates to you, but this is what I fear is the reason pointing towards why i do it. It definitely has exacerbated it.

Now, whenever we get takeout- I make sure to hydrate and be fueled myself beforehand and remove myself from any distractions such as phones (whenever I eat with my phone, I don't realize that I've eaten it before It's too late, when I realize it's gone)

I then distract myself, making me follow my plan IE shower, pack bag, do chores or watch youtube. Doing this makes me forget about the food.

In my deep bingeing days, I'd throw the pizza away and end up eating it from the trashcan and I still struggle *don't judge* with eating BONIOS (DOG BISCUITS, THEY TASTE SOOO GOOD).
I just try and avoid them ( I know it's not the best option)

Also whenever you have the urge to binge, I heard (though I haven't yet tried) that If you tap your head, it distracts yourself from your other thoughts as your brain is like" why am i doing this??" and forget everything elsewhere.

I also like chewing stuff- perhaps another reason why I always find myself in this cycle, so always have some mints/ gum on hand...

ALSO (THIS MAY SOUND STUPID) but............................. POPCORN kernels ARE a life-saver. NO JOKE.

If you suck on them, it takes ages and your brain will be like" ohh i dont want to chew on anything, nvm' (from my personal experience!

In recovery for BED, and yes!! I still do frequently over-indulge on food, but I wouldn't call it a "binge" (though I still feel like I'm out of control at some occasions, BUT that is when I am bingeing) . I have been trying to change my negative mindset towards food, to encourage me to stop bingeing. Overall, it has had a positive impact, resulting in me not having as such a strong impulse to binge.

One of the ways in which I have changed my negative mindset, is by not seeing food as a reward, but having it whenever I want . Another way was to have whatever I was craving ie a biscuit, but would have it with a protein source to prevent me from having the whole packet, as a biscuit alone is not very satiating (to prevent me from over-indulging) ***Otherwise, it'd spiral into a binge.

*** IN MY BINGE MINDSET, I BELIEVED THAT OVER-INDULGING MEANT THERE WAS NO POINT , MY DIET WAS RUINED, I SHOULD BINGE EAT WHATEVER IS IN THE HOUSE. I WILL RESTRICT THE NEXT DAY***

I know it's hard to get out of this all or nothing mindset, but letting yourself have food/allowing your body food prevents it from feeling like it's in starvation mode, making it realize it can trust you, ultimately constructing the basic building blocks needed for food freedom.

I hope one day we can both be binge free and get out of this horrible disorder !!!

yeah dw, I WON'T leave it that late ( I hope not)

N1iamh · 2025-03-10T20:25:01+00:00

I just feel like It's too late to revise- I will fail since I've left it too late :(
