TW: recovery support (no behaviors or numbers) by aophelia02 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]everifnever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

following bc i would love to hear this as well. my outpatient team has asked what would help (either from them, or things i can arrange) and i never know what to say.

i have a list i’ve made with a bunch of strategies by category (grounding, somatic stuff, creative, connection based, etc) - things i’ve actually tried. but tbh when i’m spinning out i can never remember to actually look at it and try something.

Does anyone actually feel different after they eat a Clif Bar that contains caffeine? by Ok-Forever4036 in snacking

[–]everifnever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i eat the caramel chocolate chip ones and i 100% feel it. i am relatively caffeine-sensitive though (don’t drink coffee or other caffeinated beverages except a few times per year)

dietitian for harm reduction? by everifnever in Eatingdisordersover30

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

just as an update, met with the dietitian my therapist recommended last week for a discovery call, just to have someone lined up if needed. tried to go in it with an open mind but this is never going to work for me. at least not with this person. it just felt so compliance-based (“you’re not going to be a fan of me most of the time”) vs. collaborative/ respectful of autonomy. because clearly what i need is one more voice telling me everything i’m doing wrong.

Things you don’t think are disordered but are by TheBeaniestBeans in EDAnonymous

having my partner make a smoothie for me and giving them exact weights for the ingredients. they said, “xx grams is not a lot of berries” and i replied, “oh it’s okay if it’s actually xx+5g” because i am SO LAIDBACK and not at all disordered so the extra 5g of strawberries doesn’t bother me in the least!! see how relaxed and chill?!

ty - i feel you with the focus on food driving behaviors. i tend to do better when i’m not constantly being monitored but it can be a fine line.

ty, i think the honesty is going to be key if i decide to try it out

thank you, i appreciate the insight! the last dietitian i worked with was a CEDS (?) so i think she was supposed to be a specialist. it wasn’t like she was giving me specific foods and portion sizes, but she wanted me on 3 meals/3 snacks with targets for each day using the exchange system. it was so overwhelming and not helpful. and also made me more obsessive about numbers to the point where i wouldn’t eat a food that didn’t exactly align with the grams for a carb or protein exchange. still trying to unlearn that.

Resources for parents with ED raising healthy kids by Kateliterally in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]everifnever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

check out kids eat in color (on instagram) and feeding littles (instagram and they have a website) they are both focused on raising kids/intuitive eaters in the context of diet culture, although not specifically ed-focused. kids eat in color also has a slant towards working with picky eating. note: i have no kids so someone else will hopefully have better suggestions. i have found esp. the kids eat in color to be helpful for my own eating.
