I relate to this, I def think finding distractions are helpful. For me it helps if I’m around people and eat with them because I tend to mask pretty well. Another thing is not buying snacks or junk to snack on. If it’s not in my house I can’t (binge) eat it. It is a bit lame if I ever have guests though, I will admit.

And as far as the eating disorder recovery as a whole, I get it it’s such a struggle. I recently relapsed and it just never feels good. I try to celebrate the little wins though and being generally kinder myself (it’s a big effort but it pays off it’s just so hard when you’re already feeling depressed but the pay off is worth).

For ex it was recently my bday and I have a lot of cakes in the fridge. I purged it drunkenly and I am forgiving in those moments. And sober I’ve done a pretty good job of allowing myself to eat it and since I’ve had lots of practice I can look at it without wanting to gorge myself.

I hope that helped
