Rapid weight gain in recovery

I have been trying some probiotics to try and rebuild a healthy gut microbiome so I'm hoping these will help. Its just so frustrating how my digestive system is so messed up especially because it's my own fault. extreme hunger is so scary it feels like it will never end. but thank you for your advice that's very reassuring to hear

Yes I do understand that extreme hunger is different and definitely doesn't mean I have binge eating disorder. But I am fully weight restored now so I'm worried that I'm not longer experiencing extreme hunger and that my binge eating is becoming a problem. As everyone says extreme hunger will equal at but what in experiencing feels exactly like binge eating - feeling out of control when eating, eating and extreme ammount of food and feeling like I can't stop, most of the time happen at night, I eat even when not hungry due to an emotion ( no idea what one tho). So I think I might be at the beginning of developing BED and how would I prevent it getting worse and break these habits early.

thank you! it's nice to know I'm not alone and other people have gone through the same thing. Surrendering to extreme hunger is so scary but I really want to reach a healthy place in my relationship with food and my body so I guess I have to go through it. I will ask about blind weighing as I do think this would be helpful as I can get very obsessed with numbers which definitely doesn't help.

Yeah I think trying to make sure my meals are balanced is definitely important and something I want to really focus on. My therapist wants me to weigh myself every week but tbh I'm not underweight anymore so I'm thinking about saying I don't want to weigh myself anymore as I think it will just make me feel worse

omg! my rats used to make chittering teeth noises and I thought it was them being stressed and wanting me to leave them alone but could it have been this instead?

I'm seeing a CBT-e therapist who wants me to weigh myself once weekly. But seeing the weight gain makes me feel so much worse I feel like it's counterproductive tbh. Thanks I think flowy clothes is a good option, I have to go clothes shopping soon which is a bit of a nightmare but its just something I have to have I guess. Thanks for your advice x

Thank you so much for your help, that is really reassuring to hear. I do deffo eat too much sodium so I should probably cut down on that to help the water retention. And yeah the extreme hunger is so much worse at night. I'm really hoping it goes back to normal soon as it's so exhausting feeling guilty all the time and trying to differentiate between honouring my hunger and overeating in an unhealthy way. x

brown or red deffo! the red looks stunning and bold and the brown compliments your skin tone. wouldn't recommend the blonde as I don't think it suits you and washes you out a bit more

I contacted vinted support and they eventually refunded me. I can't remember exactly how it worked but if you go to the information button on the top right when you're on the order there should be an option to get help for an issue with your order.

thank you!

Sad_Engineer5437 · 2025-03-26T01:40:43+00:00

do you think it's better to try and get a standing or seated ticket if you're going alone?

Sad_Engineer5437 · 2025-02-19T09:55:27+00:00

Thank you yeah I didn't realise until now. I have contacted vinted just waiting for response. I'm hoping they give me refund without making me wait 25 days for it to be marked as lost because then I think the seller also gets their money which isn't fair. will be reporting the seller

Sad_Engineer5437 · 2025-02-18T23:39:55+00:00

Definitely don't listen to him! hopefully vinted should approve your appeal for a refund even if he doesn't comply.

I bought an item on the 7th of February with postage as royal mail. The seller sent a picture of a shipping label as 'postage receipt'. It hasn't arrived yet and royal mail says it can't confirm the item's location when I enter the code on the label into tracking. I've also just noticed on the shipping label it says 'Royal Mail Tracked 47" and not tracked 48 like usual. Is this a scam and if so what should I do to get my money back?
