Hi everyone!
 

Hi guys :)
My name is Karolina, and I'm 23. I've been on and off a diet for the better part of the last 5 years. In the mean time, I've developed a binge eating disorder and a mean mix of anxiety and depression. My lowest weight was 64 kg, but currently I weigh around 80. I'm also 164 cm tall, which makes me well overweight. I feel horrible in the present shape. The last year was a complete disaster, I've lost any motivation I had in terms of both weight loss and doing things in general.
I've never been a part of any weightloss community and I'm secretly hoping it will help me reach my goal. I'll try to report any progress I make, because I surely will ;)
I'm also available if anyone was interested in talking about anything, mental ilnesses included. If you had any tips about beating this binge eating thing, I'd greatly appreciate that.
I hope everybody is having a great day.

Hi Karolina, and welcome to 3FC! I suffer from a pretty hefty anxiety disorder and often binge eat so I feel you. The one thing I've discovered recently that really helps the anxiety is yoga. I went to hot yoga last night and it's amazing how relaxed I feel, even still this morning. Things that I was stressing over seem somehow smaller. Binge eating isn't super easy to solve, but I find support of others really helps with binge eating. How crappy do you feel after binge eating? I know I feel horrible about myself, and wish I didn't eat so much. So now I start reminding myself of that feeling before I binge eat, and it helps to curb the craving to actually binge. Salt-free cashews are now my favourite when I feel like I need something.

Good luck, and just know there are loads of members here to help! :)

Thank you so much! I'll gladly try the hot yoga when I find it somewhere here :) I'm looking forward not only to losing weight, but also getting to know you all :)
