Dear Folks,
I wanted to get your individual opinions on a subject I've been struggling with. First a little bit about myself. I'm a very obese 27 year old female. I've been struggling with binge eating since I was ten or so and bulimia since I was 16. To say my eating patterns have been unhealthy is an understatement. I typically try to eat far too few calories as punishment for my binges.
I've been working on my eating disorder and also being kinder to myself and to not let my dark and cruel thoughts run my life. I've been thinking about trying to eat mindfully and to not count calories so that I can learn to understand my body's natural hunger and satiation signals. Does anyone else here have any experience with this? How has it worked for you. Thanks!
P.S.- I'm aware there is a sub forum for people with binge eating issues, but I wanted to cast a wider net in this part of the forum.
