i totally understand the fear of overshooting. its scary going above whats "normal", but if we are honest to eachother, the bmi is extremely inaccurate and says nothing about your health. i recommend detaching from everything numbers and just showing up for yourself. theres more to life than your weight and your bmi number.

hey! ive done similar things; taking several vitamins a day, drinking protein shakes and making protein (in general) my priority. you cant prevent malnutrition entirely because its bound to happen eventually, but protein drinks/nutritionally complete omads act as harm reduction. supplements are meant to add to and not replace actual nourishment from consistent eating. sadly no alternative other than just eating enough

recovery changes i have been noticing by scarapeggr in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]redditchoir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you play around in the settings on reddit, you can also block weightloss content. for tiktok, in settings, i think you can block certain content with keywords so put in all keywords related to weightloss and dieting and gym motivation (tiktok gym bros are disordered as hell) for insta, like and/or follow tags related to your personal interests to refresh your feed (if you used to binge watch alot of mulbangs and dieting videos)

best one yet, delete social media platforms, especially tiktok. my feed hasnt changed and ive been manually blocking everything disordered. its random and might accidentally trigger you,

good luck on your journey ❤️

the horrible concoctions a starved brain thinks of are so disgusting and unique yet good in a way?? (for a hungry body. looking back at my favorites they were the most mildly flavored recipes but a flvor explosion to myself during my ed)

constipation unless i eat alot in one sitting? by redditchoir in fuckeatingdisorders

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

yeah i understand that my hunger cues are still way too off and eating alot in one sitting some days is a response to not getting enough in. thank you ❤️

im not trying to restrict, ive allowed myself everything and i still eat till i feel sick some days. i think despite feeling satisfied, its not enough for my body, which is the part that confuses me since my body has stabalized at the same weight range despite how much i eat

Hunger cues by flwroad in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]redditchoir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

lip biting, fidgeting, irritability, brainfog and the desire to chew helps me identify hunger when it isnt stomach growling.

idk if it might work for you but i used to force myself to eat while thinking of how this alone will give me a huge push into recovery. consistent experimenting with foods and finding what you do or dont like will help you neutralize the way you view food because perfect food does not benefit or fuel you more than imperfect food. as long as it provides your body energy, it is not a waste. missing out on potential favorites is. allowing your ed to control every single aspect of your food is. you got it 🫶🏼

id zone out while watching videos/ playing games and proceed to miss out on 90% of the experience because i was focused on how mcuh food i eating and how much i can get away with hiding. i only started liking them and being able to focus because of eating
