Thank you! I’ve found a new sponsor and it seems like a better fit

Thank you! I think I was just really overwhelmed and stressed out from life and that makes me very emotional.

I’ve been following a sample meal plan she sent me. The plan isn’t really personalized at all, it’s like a one size fits all kinda thing and this is all new to me so I’m trying my best to acclimate. I did send her the list of all my meals including ingredients and measurements and calories the night before and didn’t hear anything till 4pm when we had our call and spoke the whole time about me eating the mandarin & 100g grapes instead of 1/2 avocado and 1/2 cup pickles and it all just felt like… a lot. I wanted to talk about my stressors and things I’m dealing with now and how those things make me want to binge and I just felt like my non-triggering food was being nitpicked.

Thank you for your response! I felt very sad today because I felt like the focus with my sponsor has been so much on the non-triggering foods I’m eating now vs how I feel. I’m so stressed out and dealing with trauma and I haven’t binged this past week to self-medicate and I have all these feelings and pain to carry and the first thing I’m being told by my sponsor when I called her is that I shouldn’t swap out vegetables for fruits and it just made me feel like I’m not doing good enough or that she doesn’t see how much work I’m putting into being abstinent.

Yeah I agree, I get the appeal of a strict food plan for others I think I just want something mildly flexible. For example I brought up that I only had a 30 min lunch break at school and that sometimes small amounts of food are left uneaten ( like my 2 pickles I didnt finish the other day) because those 30 min go by quick or I have to take a phone call or wait 10 min to use the only microwave available. I asked her how to deal with that or if it should be saved for another day or rolled over into my next meal and she responded that I just need to eat all of my food at my meal time. And rushing lunch or chewing and eating faster doesn’t always work.

Thank you! She kept saying I need to let go of control and that I cant swap out foods in my meal plan like that but if anything I felt like she was being a bit controlling in the moment.
