What I do is remove all junk food and replace it with healthy “junk”food..if it’s not there you don’t eat it..btw make sure you test yourself. Sometimes high sugars can build your anxiety worst. I also noticed that using natural remedies like kava, ashwagandha, etc. have helped me a lot to get back to relax.. no lie to you I was suffering for months until I looked for help in natural remedies. Also writing it down your thoughts helps you heal more. Don’t stress to stop yourself from eating though. Take it step my step.
I’m starting to do the same too
I’ll watch my eating a lot better tomorrow
I find that I go to extremes. Either I follow an extremely strict diet so that I can loose weight or I'm binging. There's no in between. I want to not care about my weight anymore. It's annoying me to the max. If I go over my calorie goal then I feel I HAVE to ruin it "all the way" so I can restart, but that's been EVERYDAY. I have pcos so it's making my hormones go completely wack. I'm breaking out horribly and having major mood swings.
I’m sorry about that you are aware which is good. May I suggest something to you?
@WillingEngine Yes, please!
@hateocd123 Do you Intermittent fast at all? 10hrs 12 hrs anything? IF can help with moods, improving it decreased tension and anger
@WillingEngine Unfortunately for me after I stopped intermittent fasting I started binging. I was doing it for all the wrong reasons though.
@hateocd123 IF? Or the binge part
@WillingEngine I think for me the intermittent fasting is what got the ball rolling for the binging
@hateocd123 Aw that sucks how are you doing now?
@WillingEngine Still struggling. I'm doing a little better today.
@hateocd123 That’s great! Small victories ftw I just sang with my grandmother and now I’m in good spirits :))! Maybe you can try this too or something else :v :))
Can someone help me, please? I’ve been taking huge steps towards recovery and it’s a slow, sometimes frustrating journey, but I’m being able to do more healthy things and I’m cutting out most of my “physical”/tangible compulsions, as instructed by my therapist. I still get intrusive thoughts all the time, and they change during the course of the day/couple of days. My brain always needs something disturbing to figure out, it’s very distressing. My question is this: how can I cut out mental compulsions, such as rumination, when it’s such an automatic response for me? How can I rewire my brain in that sense? Thank you guys!
Anyone deal with eating disorder behavior and OCD? I’m currently in recovery and have been practicing Intuitive Eating for a few months. It’s helped a little, but I’m still very preoccupied by my body image and calories, orthorexia, etc. I try not to give into these thoughts and act on them, but it’s very tough. It’s interfering with work, school, and my relationships. Has anyone broken out of this? Please help!
Content note: disordered eating Seeking advice I've gained some weight during the lockdown and it's causing me considerable distress. Food and weight are on my mind all the time and I've started obsessively counting calories and weighing myself. I know this is a really dangerous slope but don't really know how to deal with this theme. I'm really distressed about how out of control I am of my own body. Any advice on stopping this in its tracks would be greatly appreciated ?
