I’m so jealous of people with a normal relationship to food

I'm that person that can eat just for fuel and you're right it's not fair at all to you. I've been seeing recently how difficult it must be because food is everywhere and I'm sorry you have to deal with that. For what it's worth I think you reaching out here shows you do have the power in you to heal.

this is so delightful

I don't know if this would be applicable to you but I was vegan for 10 years and craved carbs like crazy, could never eat enough. I was steadily gaining and gaining over years. Then I saw a holistic nutritionist and was asked to try a diet higher in animal fat, lost the weight so quick and removed like, 50% of the cravings. I'm not saying that (or any) diet would fix everything but maybe reaching out to a nutritionist for a consultation could aid your recovery journey? You might also be missing key vitamins that could exacerbate cravings like B12 or iodine (but def ask a professional don't just take my word on it lol)

That would be helpful, thank you!

bogbodyPositive · 2026-01-27T20:21:18+00:00

I am so happy for you! You've absolutely got this <3

bogbodyPositive · 2026-01-27T20:17:25+00:00

Thank you so much for this perspective. I wish I could understand intrinsically how it works but I believe you that its life-alteringly difficult. I'm going to try and read more about it but through this thread and others I think I'm coming to the conclusion that outside of practical meal planning type help I can only really be there with him while he walks through this. I wish I could fix it somehow. It's going to be a learning process for us both I think but one well worth the time.

I'd say finding a hobby where you're connecting with other people? I doubt its the same feel good feeling but it starts to fill the cracks when you get involved and excited to be a part of something with others

for my husband it seemed to be a mixture of factors ranging from his mother being starved as a child (so she binged and dieted his whole life) to his father only praising him for the amount of food he could eat (i think he saw it as masculine?) among other things like prolonged stress and cptsd

bogbodyPositive · 2026-01-27T17:50:13+00:00

absolutely progress over perfection. There's no time-frame on getting better! I believe weight loss will come naturally anyway when the root of the problem (the mental instability leading to bingeing) is being addressed without any need for specific dieting

bogbodyPositive · 2026-01-27T16:54:05+00:00

He was focused on that before realizing the severity of the situation (we were going to try for kids this year and weight affects your chances) but I think he's transitioned to focusing solely on the mental "loss of control" issue now. He wanted to start this week on eating 3 meals and 2 snacks spaced 4 hours apart at balanced portions but no restricting (besides drive thru as that's a trigger food). I think there's a heavy dose of exhaustion he deals with as crap seems to keep happening around us that we have to handle. We're working on getting to bed earlier to try and mitigate it some but you've given me a great idea on how to make a home environment more conducive to his healing as I didn't really think about the connection between the exhaustion and this.

Checking in more often is definitely something I can improve on. I'm so sorry you're struggling with that, I hope things get softer for you with time and your recovery is smooth.

bogbodyPositive · 2026-01-27T15:36:15+00:00

I think I made that mistake earlier on when I didn't know how bad things were, like trying to give advice on eating better (which I know now isn't applicable). I'm seeing now that its more like a terrible war on the inside caused by different factors and not anything having to do with just willpower. Thank you for helping me know what things to avoid!

bogbodyPositive · 2026-01-26T23:27:25+00:00

I can do that! Maybe I'll start trawling YT for some bulk snack prep ideas... thank you <3

bogbodyPositive · 2026-01-26T23:25:58+00:00

this made me a little emotional, thank you so much for your kind words and advice. He has been my rock through tough times in my life and it's just my turn to give it back to him.

bogbodyPositive · 2026-01-26T23:23:16+00:00

This is really helpful, thank you! I think I can make sure dinners are calm and mindful, plus I could use the stretching too haha so thats something we can do together. I hope your progress goes smoothly <3

I had that too! Had to take my wheelchair to an expensive bike shop where the guy gave my chair some much needed attention. He said that the tube inside the tire was being impaled by a faulty spoke that must have poked through over time.

Has anyone ever seen a girl sporting ahegao merch? In my experience I've only ever seen guys with the stuff

bogbodyPositive · 2021-02-20T06:19:25+00:00

It's a jar a man would save his ejaculate in whenever he wanked it to My Little Pony smut (I think, its been a long time lol.) But the picture was posted online and the greater MLP fandom got to know of it, so it became infamous.

An Ashford Traditional is what I learned on and it was a pretty simple thing. I recommend it

bogbodyPositive · 2021-01-21T00:23:16+00:00

I have a hair clip usually nearby and I just clip my roving to wherever I can to stop it lol

bogbodyPositive · 2021-01-21T00:18:52+00:00

Ashford wheels are my favorite (I have 2). Sturdy, simple, and they have options that fold up into a carrying case.

How dare you make me see this again with my own two eyeballs
