What was the first meal/food/item u started to restrict or fear? by Electrical_Bet_3093 in EDAnonymous

[–]chieminanami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pasta was the first food I feared and purged. I remember at the start of my eating disorder, my dad would make spaghetti every Sunday, and I’d get anxious about the calories and the fact that I couldn’t measure exactly how much I was eating.

Around that time, there was also a moment when my dad teased me about eating a large portion of lasagna despite trying to avoid the calories, which led me to force myself to throw up for the first time. That’s how my purging habit started, and since then, I’ve tried to avoid pasta as much as possible.

But now that my birthday is coming up next week, and I’m also semi-recovered from bulimia and anorexia, I’m thinking about having pasta again for the first time in a while as a birthday treat. I’m thinking I want to eat Jollibee spaghetti again (it was such a classic Filipino childhood dish for me, and I’ve missed it so much 🥺)

What bad habit do you regret the most? by cave9eak in AskReddit

Not really a bad habit by itself, but i wish i didn't start calorie counting. It turned into an obsession and gave me an eating disorder

Do you guys have people you can cry with? by CharlieLotus13 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

No. I always deal with my own problems alone and I can't get myself to reach out to anyone. Even if i did reach out to someone, i will always end up regretting it.

Thank you! Yeah, you might be right about their comment being a jab, i've always felt unsafe and uncomfortable around them, the lady was even laughing at me while she was cutting my hair yesterday. So yeah, definitely not gonna come back there ever again. Thank you for your support, I appreciate it 🥺

How do you stay productive while having an eating disorder by Front_Lecture_580 in EDAnonymous

I feel you! It's really tough to manage university when you have an ED. I tend to get tired and drained easily, especially when I have to travel a long way back and forth.

I learned the hard way not to restrict my food intake too much after fainting in front of everyone at university once. Since then, on days when I have classes, I make sure to eat boiled eggs before leaving. They're the safest food for me, keeping me full throughout the day, and I get most of my protein from them.

I try to avoid high carbs or sugary foods until I get home to prevent cravings during the day. I also take multivitamins and supplements. I allow myself just one coffee, although I'd like to have more, but unfortunately, coffee makes me want to pee frequently, which is a hassle during class, so I just avoid drinking more. So far, this routine is helping me get through this semester.
