Hey, my name is Madeline. I'm 15 years old and I have binge eating disorder. I've tried purging but it never helped. I really want to lose weight but I lose motivation thinking about how long it will take. Any advice?
I don't have any advice for you on how to lose weight but I do want to see you recover and heal from the ED. The members of this board are in various stages of healing their ED and would love to see you make the commitment to heal instead of binge and diet.
I would suggest talking to your caregivers about getting yourself some help. I know this is easier said then done but it could seriously be life or death matter or just a matter of a huge weight gains that I'm sure you don't want. As far as losing weight ... I'm working on weight loss myself and I find that pushing play everyday or at least three to five days a week of exercise will make all the difference. Don't focus on the end goal focus on daily healthy steps . I would see a dietician who knows you have a eating disorder and incorporate daily exercise with a healthy meal plan.
Best of luck Hun!!!
