Red face Disordered eating support thread
Has anyone here struggled with severe disordered eating (anorexia, bulimia, binging)?
I would like to use this thread as a place of support and open, honest sharing and love for any people who have experienced these things to a deep extent.

I will start. I have a history of starving and binging.

I appreciate you participating Ginger.
I definitely have noticed things that help me. Focusing on correct thinking and patience have been important for me. Positive thinking with the Bible as my truth are definitely what pull me back to reality when I start getting off track.

I am really glad this thread exists! I signed up this morning because I weighed myself and did gained a little on the scale. I have about 29 pounds I want to lose. I have a history with binge eating and over exercising. At some point along my journey (there have been many), my mind gives up on me and I start to eat a constant flow of junk food-it is not until I've gained back all my lost weight and then some I stop- hate myself all over again- and try to lose some weight. I really want this time to be the last time...

Well, I have like "sage" status on the mpa site...ugh. No binging here, just used to not eat that much, have fantasies of 105 lbs again, but realistic at 120 lbs because I've discovered eating. I'm obsessed with diet, nutrition and exercise.

NOTE TO SELF:
Food will still be there tomorrow. Opportunities to love people are priceless and pass quickly. Follow your heart and follow Jesus.

Hey! I've been really struggling with my eating these days. I think the hardest part is the guilt I feel. Can anyone else relate?

Hey thanks for starting this thread. I've always wanted to start a thread like this but was too scared I've been diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder and struggled with various eating disorders since I was very young. I developed bulimia and anorexia in middle school and went through phases of starving, binging, and purging until I was sent to an eating disorder treatment center a few years ago. Fortunately I was able to eat again and stopped the purging BUT I then started binging like crazy and ballooned up to 200lbs. Its been an incredible struggle and balancing act to lose weight in a healthy way

Recently I started relapsing and have upped my calories and am trying to not focus so much on losing weight but just being healthy. Its really a daily struggle because I've noticed that the thoughts never leave. And the struggle for control is always there. I'm actually really embarrassed by it and just wish I could be "normal".


girl18-I did not have a Catholic upbringing, I was raised 7th Day Adventist.

Nicholas-Well to get over feeling guilty I suggest thinking about how the food is nourishing you and practice mindful eating. I know what you mean about not feeling "right" unless you're kind of empty....I try to aim for moderation and focus on how even though feeling empty feels good in the moment it hurts me from completing daily tasks and exercising in the long run.
