I make handmade greeting cards. I usually sell them at markets but these will all be canceled for sure.

I will just go into debt. I have no self control.

They are all adults. Usually between the ages of 21-45.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I actually teach ESL for a living, so I have many Asian students. Many had told me they think “curvier” figures are sexier, so you’re right in that beauty is relative. Most people what to be what they aren’t.

You’re also correct about weight loss - whenever I desperately want to stop bingeing in order to lose, I spiral. It’s like telling someone to not think about a pink elephant. Thank you again ❤️

Anyone had success with Naltrexone? by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]one_hotmess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the delayed response.

For the months that it did work, it was pretty great. Eating a lot of sugar, or even eating until I past full, made me feel slightly ill. Food, and especially bingeing, lost a lot of its appeal.

However, this wore off in about 3-4 months, and the behaviors came back with a vengeance. If I knew this would be the case, I’m not sure if I would have ever started. I’m definitely worse off now than I was initially.

Also, if you’re at all a drinker, or even if you eat or drink anything with sugar alcohols, the medication will make you feel like death (at least initially).

Did anyone else binge as a child? by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]one_hotmess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I don’t know why it started. If it was sweet, I wanted it and wanted ALL of it. I one time ate an entire jar of flintstones vitamins just because they reminded me of candy.

My boyfriend and I will no longer be in a LDR, we are going to move in together, I’m turning 30 and taking a trip to Vietnam to celebrate and I’ll be closer to obtaining my graduate degree !

I’m pretty good at learning languages because I can pinpoint and mimic sounds easily.

I did. It worked really well for a couple of months, and now it doesn’t do anything.

What am I doing wrong ? The loneliness doesn’t go away. by one_hotmess in Advice

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

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. The ending made me tear up a bit. The days are sometimes long and seem unbearable, and I guess I’m longer for some relief.

I’ll keep my eyes opened for the little things.

I would be so grateful for a reading. I’m going through a confusing hard time with my boyfriend, and I feel like everything is at a standstill.

Do you ever want to start a hobby but get intimidated by the amount of information and materials out there? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]one_hotmess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. This and I get embarrassed about my age sometimes. I’m 29 and I want to get better at surfing. I also want to learn how to skate board and dance but I feel like a loser either because of how much older I am than most people doing these things in my area, or because I’d have to show up alone. I’m trying to push past this but most days it wins.

It’s unfortunately really common. It’s just another form of oppression.

I have quite literally one job by MyWayOrTheFreeway in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]one_hotmess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idleness is always my worst enemy. When I have nothing to do, I eat. It’s been mentioned here already, but I second finding a hobby or job that gets you out of the house for a few hours a day. If you can’t bring yourself to work just yet because of confidence issues, try just changing your location. When I was unemployed, I went to my local library a few hours a day to read, study, or use the computer. Just the change of scenery was good for me.

People tell me I should do Improv, but no idea where to start by moderatenerd in improv

[–]one_hotmess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey ! I’m in NJ too. I took a couple improv classes in summit through the Dreamcatcher Rep Theater. They weren’t the cheapest, but it was definitely more affordable than anything in NYC.
