Does anyone else feel this way?
hey everyone. I have binge eating disorder. It’s mostly controlled but I can can triggered and often binge, especially in social situations and on takeaways.
im always triggered about my looks and weight in a negative way, particularly when im talking to someone new or starting to date romantically? Does anyone else suffer from the thoughts of being too big for them to like me and not being enough? I’m asking as I have been to therapy and I’m working on it, as well as talking to friends and family, they just don’t understand. I hope someone else can relate.

You are not alone in that .... when we are triggered logic and common sense does not come into play IMO. I have been eating things knowing that i am not hungry ... it is not needed and yet sometimes continue instead of just putting food away. I now talk aloud to myself that i am not eating from hunger but from ________ insert reason.... mine is often boredom or anger
If we think about it we see it is self destructive and makes no sense .....if we are struggling with weight but also are adding to it.... we tell ourselves things like we do not care but later are mad we are not happy in the mirror. Many do not understand until they go thru something similar themselves.
It happens in various forms a person struggling with money who buys impulse purchases is another example or a student having issues with grades not studying til last minute and procrastinating learning the material and wonders why test went badly.
