Feelings
Whatever feeling that I feel, I convince myself food ls the cure. So I eat and don't stop. Then I just tell myself that next week or month I will go on a stricter diet to lose the weight. Then I use that as an excuse to splurge. Then this cycle repeats and it keeps getting worse. The sad part is, is that im only 15 and it will only get worse from here.
I know this feeling, don't lose yourself in this. You need to stay realistic, maybe write down a plan when you ate and what you ate. Only to have that reality check. What makes you think that food is the cure?
Because it makes me temporarily happy.
Hello, I am Ezo. You just described my whole life and I know that feeling very well. I've seen the worst you mentioned and I saw the better times. I still strugle with it but that road is not all downhill. It has ups and downs. I am not a professional to give you proper advice but I will say these things that I wished someone told me when I was your age. "I understand you and you are not alone."
I am not a professional either but after reading alot i had some questions pop into my head. Questions that i wrote down and i think i may ask myself anytime before i eat and while i eat that may help me. Because i really do understand and am struggling through a similar thing. So i thought id share the questions i came up with. 1. What makes me think that this food is a cure or a fix? (Got this one from @SteinsGate1) What emotions am i feeling? 2. Am i really hungry? When was the last time i ate? 3. What is a healthy portion for this particular food? 4. Am i still really hungry? Am i full? 5. What else can i do besides eat? (Coping skills: Journal, go for walk or drive, play with animals or hang out with friends, cook a healthy meal from scratch and pace myself, art, ect. 6. What coping skills cause me to binge that may be negitive? (For me i know TV and hulu is one) things that i tend to do while i binge that drawn out what i am really doing so i dont think through it so much. 7. If i am done, i am done. If i am full, i am full. If i have had to much, i need to stop eating for now. 8. Food will not cure my feelings. Its a temporary fix. What is really going on? What am i feeling? What is the root? @funnyPine694
