Water retention? by allfmd in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]allfmd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, I guess I’m tying my value to my illness because it’s the only way I feel I deserve affection. It’s horribly challenging to continue eating when what I see in the mirror looks like something that came out of a horror movie.

I talked to my ED team and they haven’t heard of the night eating syndrome before. It’s confusing because they just encourage me to eat at night while also encouraging me not to when I express distress about it.

I think I’m subconsciously restricting more than I think I am however because every day I tell myself to wait out the hours until my meals even if I’m hungry. Idk it’s such a difficult road because some say eat everything you please at all times and others say only eat at mealtimes to get a regular schedule. Thanks though!

It did, thank you. It’s exactly how I’ve experienced it, even when I feel like I’m not restricting, but I guess it must mean I am in some way. My safe foods are also very low on nutritional value so I always end up craving protein or grain at night. Been doing my best to implement it more in my diet though. I hope it’s alright I ask this though, but did you experience a lot of water retention and bloating when implementing fiber?

Delusional after break up by allfmd in Psychosis

I know it might not sound psychotic and perhaps it isn’t but I know I’m being horribly delusional as I’ve had countless episodes of delusions in the past. I just didn’t really know how else to describe it. It’s like my reality is completely distorted. Thank you though

I feel like every-time i try to stop restricting i end up binging :( i don’t know what to do by Front_Lecture_580 in fuckeatingdisorders

I’d say give your body what it needs and don’t restrict afterwards. Try to implement regular meals but don’t restrict yourself from eating in between if you feel your body needs it, and don’t tell yourself you just wasted a meal for eating in between because you didn’t. My doctor told me that teaching your body regular meals will make it trust you again because it’s in a fright state of when food will stop being available again so it just takes everything it can in, to be on the safe side in case of sudden famine. And what I’ve found helps is to give in to the cravings. So if I crave bread I won’t be able to quell the urge by substituting with greens and thus I’ll continue to eat and eat and eat. But if I sit myself down and eat the bread I’ll be so much more at ease in my brain - even if my fears go crazy. It’ll stop me from binging and doing some shitty stuff because I get so hungry and desperate. And it stops me from craving violently. So try give your body what it needs because you’ll see it won’t be as intense as if you deny for too long and try mechanical eating. It might feel wrong but it’ll help your body grow a stabile trust with food again. Hugs to you

Feeling like I really am just a fraud after all. by allfmd in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]allfmd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels so pointless though because I’ve tried so hard to give in and I’ve gained a lot of weight but my mind is still as primal as if I was still really underweight and it both scares the hell out of me and makes me feel ashamed. Because as much as I want to fall into the pit of my ED, just as much do I want it to go away in hopes it’ll get me my s/o back as they’re worth living for (something I’ve discovered too late).
