It’s been years that i’ve been trying to lose a few pounds. But for the last 2-3 years, it’s been terrible. I’ve put myself through diets, training, excercise, fasting to, in the end, gain even more weight. I couldn’t figure it out. Didn’t want to figure it out. After seeing a doctor, i am now diagnose with a eating disorder. Food addiction.
I’m trying so hard. But i’ll see myself slip more often than not and end up lying about it, getting gratification for something I can’t seem able to do. I’m feeling pathetic and can’t hold myself upright… i’m sad and don’t see a way out.
How do you manage to kill a habit when it’s not only accessible, but necessary! It’s sooo hard…
I’m sorry for the rant… i needed to vent and I hope/think/feel like this place is the right place… i’m feeling helpless.
Well done for reaching out, I’m also diagnosed with an eating disorder, and have just completed my first round of therapy for it, it has changed my life in so many ways. I still struggle occasionally too. I would be really happy to share what I’ve learned if you want to chat via private message anytime, my inbox is open and I have a lot of free time so can talk whenever mostly.

Admitting we need help is a big first step and reaching out to ask for it is a really brave thing to do! Glad you’re here
