Bio
Hey! I'm RedLunch, or Abby if we're pals (which we are!) If you want to win me over in five minutes or less, bring up music or literature! Those are my mojo. Particularly classics, folk music, twenty one pilots, Emily Bronte.
I came here at a pretty dark time in my life. I've got some experience with self harm, anxiety/panic disorder, and eating disorders, so if ya need a friend in those areas I'm here for ya.
My goal is to help you believe you are lovely, because you absolutely are. Be kind to yourself today!! And if ya just can't, let me know and I'll try to help show you how!

Take care you beautiful people <3333

Binge eating in anorexia Recovery?

...See more Hello again, everyone! I feel like I'm going crazy, but I'm hoping maybe I'm not alone in this. I had a week recently, where I restricted a lot more than I usually do, which was already pretty strict. I lost more weight, and was really close to hitting my ultimate goal weight. However, since then I had to go home for holidays, where my parents monitored my eating... that kind of spiralled. I've been binging on and off for the better part of two weeks, and I gained about eleven pounds in a short period of time. I don't know if I'm transitioning into binge-eating disorder or if I'm just making up for the restriction. Either way, seeing all of that sudden weight gain is terrifying... I dropped out of school for a week because I was so ashamed. Is this normal? Am I just embracing a different kind of disorder? Thanks for listening! xx, Redlunch

...See more I have this app that counts calories and tracks the nutrition ofthe stuff I eat... it also tracks exercise. I dont know if its good for me to have or not. It makes me feel fantastic when Im below my calorie count but on days that I binge or even eat more than I was planning, its awful. Plus, everytime I eat anything, all I can think about is how high the number already is. But its helping me find healthier alternatives so... is it good? Is it harmful? I dont really know. This morning I binged and I entered the foods I ate and the number is horrendous and my head is just buzzing with how much weight Ill gain from the sugar. Its only the middle of the day and I only have [edited by Anomalia to remove calorie specifics] left today, and Im way over on sugar because of the binge. Its so discouraging, but maybe thats kind of motivation I need to avoid binging in the future?

...See more I first noticed I had an eating disorder when I started purging food, because thats obviously something that most people dont do. Im betting I had problems before that though, otherwise I wouldnt have felt the need to start purging. Now, I try not to purge as much, but I restrict a lot more. I have a hard time differentiating between what counts as overeating and whats just... eating. Does anybody have any tips as to what counts as a success? I consider it a success if I havent purged obviously, but I dont even know if a day where I dont feel obscenely guilty about food is a success or if it means I just starved myself enough. Maybe this doesnt make any sense but I dont really know whats logic and whats the ED speaking anymore...
