Checking in here.
I have had disordered eating since I was 14. Mainly b/p but periods of restriction as well. It has always been the pattern that either alcohol/drugs, or my ED, have been more prominent and this has cycled on and on over the years.
I am happy to say though, that 51 days into sobriety from alcohol, I have only had a handful of bad eating days. This is SUCH a huge change from my m.o.
I think what has helped is Iāve purposefully stopped tracking my calorie intake on my fitbit app. I recognise that this either encourages me to keep the numbers low, or gives me a fā it mentality if I see the numbers are already above my comfort zone, so Iāll just inhale food and, well, you know.
I canāt say Iām feeling comfortable about food all the time, but I am practicing gratitude and meditation and I really think this is helping me to have a new appreciation for what I have, and is stopping me from getting into that dissociative state where I will b/p.
It is small steps, but Iām proud of myself and just wanted to share it here.
I hope everyone here is having a good day.

Yesterday and today I have been feeling the effects of having gluten.
And yet,
I seem to have just run towards it.
I had a grilled cheese sandwich yesterday, and some white castle sliders today.
I have been giving in to cravings for ācomfort foodā or quick food, or āI donāt have energy to cookā food.
I am frustrated with myself for it. Tomorrow is another day to choose health over convenienceā¦ hopefully I can stick to rice and veggies

Struggling a bit today. Itās so strange how your eyes can see one thing but you know in your logical brain itās not true. Body dysmorphia sux! I am using all my tools today to remain present and sober. Hugs to all!
