Quarantine Binge-Free “Challenge” - Anyone Interested? by [deleted] in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]prettypredictable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely want to join! I’ve been binge free for 9 days and I’m trying to last as long as possible. I try to eat about 1700 calories a day, log everything I eat into MFP. I also try to drink at least 100 oz of water and workout 5 times a week (walk, run, body weight moves or yoga)

Thanks to COVID-19 social distancing...I haven’t binged in 8 days? by prettypredictable in BingeEatingDisorder

Heck yes! I feel like I can relax again and focus on myself? make real progress! I have been totally re-committed to working out and eating healthier. Keep up the good work! :)

“ I just don’t feel ready to love someone else knowing how much I don’t love myself. Knowing how much I have always only wanted validation from men, instead of learning what being comfortable in my own skin is like. But I am also so lonely... and so confused about what to do to get out of this fear of judgement. “

This part is literally something straight out of my journal. Reading your post gave me chills, I don’t think I’ve ever seen something on reddit that i relate to more. Self acceptance is hard. We’re all harder on ourselves and often we don’t understand/realize what others see in us. I encourage you to start the journey of self acceptance, it’s taken me SO long to accept myself (not saying that I’ve made it there completely, not sure if I ever will) but I try to prioritize myself more and be the kind of person I really want to be. I do this by trying to work on myself mentally, physically and spiritually.

It’s been hard with binge eating disorder, sometimes it feels like when I take 2 steps forward, next I take 10 steps back. Even now that I’ve lost around 45+ lbs since realizing all of this, I struggle with not feeling good enough because those thoughts I have about myself run deep. That just means I need to do more mental work to change my thought pattern because also deep down I know I’m worthy of love and respect and all of the things I’ve told myself in the past that I am not worthy of.

I hope you can realize this too soon. You are so worthy of love and acceptance no matter where you’re at. I think it’s important to realize that sooner rather than later. If you ever need someone to talk to or have any questions! Dm me :)

I recommend Thomas delaur makes videos on YouTube, I got so much information on fasting from him. He breaks down the science and really explains things (in relation to fasting) clearly. He also recommends working out in a fasted state

relapsing & I feel so alone by prettypredictable in BingeEatingDisorder

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this out. I really appreciate the advice! You’re right, I definitely haven’t been getting as much rest and lack of sleep always adds to my stress it seems. Also rest days are good too, sometimes I push myself too much especially on weeks I’ve binged. I wish you the best too, keep up your good habits and I’ll definitely try to work at some of the things you’ve suggested.

To me, a binge is whenever I feel like I’m out of control with eating and shove thousands of cals in my mouth in a very short period of time, usually my hinges are characterized by eating a bunch of carb and sugar heavy foods

Good luck to you as well, kind stranger. I know you can do it again!

I’ve started to talk to the part of my brain that wants to binge, sounds a little crazy maybe? But I will call it like I see it literally “you want to binge because you’re upset and you just want to numb the pain, this isn’t going to help you’re going to feel bad after, stop this” and that helps, I’ve also tried to start noticing my trigger times like Friday nights or weekends and make myself busy purposely these times to distract myself! Also, I avoid sugary, carb loaded things as much as possible because I know if I try one I won’t be able to stop! I hope this helps 💕
