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
