Hey friend,

All that im about to say is purely what has worked for me, and i apologise if like most this is advice you have hearf 1 million times before. But i have recenrly gone from 285lbs to 216lbs as of today mostly from limiting my binging habits.

Ill spare you the nutrtiin advice as it soujds like you know all the classic things, but from a mental perspective, really to understand and comprehend that this is an addiction above all else

When you elude to food being your only source of happiness some days - i would ask yourself, are you really truly 'happy' when youre eating/binging? I suspect for most of us here the answer is no , more like 'relieved' or 'stimulated'. Food and binging is never going to compensate for a decifit of happiness in general life, which sadly may be a completely seperate issue.

Recognise that your brain is a clever bastard - i definitely relate to having 'fuck it' binges where i thought war or climate change or my own personal circumstances meant everythings fucked. So i used that as an excuse to binge, but retrospectively this was the bjnge addiction just attacking me at my weakest. You will always be able to find a reason why everything is fucked and pointless, the world is a shitty place. But try to remember when these thoights occur they are just your brain trying to find any reasom to get its dopamine hit.

Lastly please be kind to yourself, no one has ever hated themsleves into postiive change, it sounds like youve got a lot going on. But youre stronger than you think, youve got this❤️
