Hey, there has been a couple requests to make a thread for all/general eating disorders. So I made this one, feel free to check in. Make sure to use TWs as needed when describing eating disorder behaviors. You can also post personal recovery wins.
@Butterflymoonwoman @Jenny1972 Here ya go! Have a good night, I will keep an eye on this thread.
Thank you sooo much!!! Its very kind of u to start this thread up
You’re welcome!
Checking in with a couple myself.
Depending on my mind for the day, I either won’t eat, or eat too much.
I’ve still been trying to eat a meal a day, but honestly sometimes I forget to keep track and then I think back… Did I eat? Am I hungry? Have I eaten too much?
Thank you for this thread hun
Joining this thread
This is so great, thank you!
Day 14, almost relapsed, but stopped myself and made a healthy choice. I sm glad i did. One hour at a time.
Great job on stopping yourself from relapsing! That’s awesome, keep it up!
Great thread, thank you @Aleyadaisey
I’m grateful I had 3 days in a row without overeating. Little wins
You’re welcome, I hope you are able to get the support you need here!
I start adressing my overeating issue slowly, other issues were and some still are prior to it. It’s nice to have a thread to come over with this issue too
I’m mostly on the gratitude thread, my home thread
Made it through my daughters bday, but it was very difficult. I cried after she went to sleep, but woke up with a new gratitude that having a sober mom is the best gift I can give her, and myself. Two days disordered eating free, I am determined!
Hi Jenny, do you go to OA meetings? It helps.
I went a few times, but it wasn’t the right fit. I am thinking to try a different location, or try online and see if that’s better.
They are on- line, you csn listen, take what you like and leave the rest.
Day 5 disordered eating free, determined to stay that way
I haven’t been eating the wrong amount of food really…
But I have been eating food with wheat. My body is not happy and I am hoping today I will make better food choices
Thanks for starting this thread.
TW restricting
Since losing weight by not binging and generally being careful I seem to have developed a fear of putting it back on. I have lost and gained so many times, I guess. The feeling of being full upsets me. Feeling hungry is the only time I can relax. I have been skipping any meals that I don’t eat with family. And then eating only a little then, claiming I ate a lot earlier. I know this is not good, and will likely trigger binging later. And also is probably tanking my metabolism.
OA approach helps, eating 3 meals a day, abstaining from trigger foods like sugar and flour. Obsessing about is not healthy. The most important thing is to be healthy, mind and body.
