I have a bad relationship with food. I starve myself and binge. Ive been doing it for the past 10 years.
Im trying my best to lose weight, coz I hate the way I look. Ive lost 10lbs in total in 6 weeks. Im now scared that I have probably put on 3-4lbs this week due to the way Ive been feeling
Sometimes its a vicious cycle, I feel bad because of the way I look, then I eat to comfort.
I do the binge and non binge cycle myself but for reasons that are medical and then because of depression.
Recently I made a list of foods I would eat daily that would meet my nutritional needs that required little preperation. Like a grapefruit daily... a banana daily, some form of meat like prepared chicken or tuna neither needing much, prepared salad in the bags... maybe with the chicken on it....
Since I started this my OBS is under control the fruit is helping, and they are all things I need little cooking for... oh I also will eat a peice of string cheese of chedder 'string' cheese... I have found my cravings for all the bad stuff is less and that I am binge eating less
Just to let you know I understand... I would eat a pound of carrots and use ranch dip for 3 months... then I went to watermelon... I would eat a 25 pound watermellon in 4 or 5 days and those are all I would eat except for a couple times a week where my husband would bring home fast food. I do this will all kinds of food. Its really bad when I do it with say ice cream or chips or something.
I havent had one of these binges since I started the 'easy prep' diet Im sure I will but for the most part my body is happy... If its an emotional thing counciling would be good but also just a set idea of what you can eat helps
That always happens to me about a week or so before my period.
Feels like half-foreplay mixed with spanks.Great.
