Anyone have any eating disorders? If you do, how do you cope with it?

[Anonymous No.14953623]

Dunno if it's a disorder but I just eat when I'm hungry.
Some months it's 4 times a day, some months it's once every three days with just coffee and galette or brioche or some sugary stuff to get me going.

I'm around 50kg for 170cm and it didn't budge since I was 17, and i'm now 34.

you're only supposed to eat when you're hungry
the reason people are fat fucks now is because they eat constantly

I have really terrible control when it comes to food because it's the only thing that actually feels good in my life. I was a fat fuck for years and lost 80 lbs like 3-4 years ago but I still have like 20 to lose and i just can't do it. When I was living alone I'd go to the store almost every day so I wouldn't have any extra food in the house cause I'd always eat that late at night. Now I'll bike 4-5 times per week but when I get home at midnight after I can't stop myself from eating some toast or some sweet if it's in the fridge.

I struggle to actually eat. Barely holding on to a triple digit weight. I take multi vitamins, eat high calorie trash, and drink boost nutritional drinks (530 calories each) since I can't drink as much milk as I used too.

I don't like eating, but I like cooking. Yet I drink way too many sugary caffeinated beverages so I still have some fat on my bones.

I have to treat it as a recovering addict treats addiction.
>admit my powerlessness over my problem
>complete abstinence from foods which I have a history of overeating
>avoid places where such food is served or I can smell it
>alert someone within my support group when temptation arises
>be honest and be grateful

I wish more women had eating disorders

Once met a girl who was 5'0 150lbs claimed she was suffering from anorexia

Lolol

[Anonymous No.14954714]

At the start of the year, I fell for the intermittent fasting meme. I'm 5'11" and slowly went from ~170 lbs to ~130 lbs, changing my schedule to eat less and less frequently every couple months or so. As it turns out, eating less works, 100% of the time. But now I feel just a step away from being full pro-ana, since I still want to keep going to achieve full skelly.

I have no impulse control with ready to eat food. So I make sure there is prep work involved. Right now I have rice, veg mix and seasoned chicken waiting to be turned to fried rice when I'm hungry, but a family sized bag of chips and Oreos will not survive the day if they're in my house.

They do have eating disorders, the relationship with is completely out of whack - i.e. it's a weird fashion accessory and then a drug like addiction used to comfort yourself

Even healthy women seem to have borderline eating disorders compared to me even as an admitted fat fuck

I thought I have binge eating disorder. But now I tend to think I just overeat due to not feeling satiety...or just being interested in tasting every recipe I am working on.
The life of liking food and having cooking as a hobby.
I am thinking of throwing up every time I eat a large meal, if I do. Don't know if it works

I don't like eating. I like food, but I don't like feeling full rather. I'm 179cm I used to weigh 45 kilos. But also I ended up in the hospital. More than once. Had to do a lot of therapy and outpatient clinical stuff after that. It was awful and it didn't work. Some years later I was at 50 kilos but after a while I was fainting. This was all during my teenage years so I could go to hospital. Skipping forward several years, because I have to go to work and I would like to be able to pay my rent, I maintain at 61kg. A little more or less is fine it doesn't bother me like it used to, but I can't gain any more than this. Feels uncomfortable.
I cope by keeping an eye on everything I drink, I don't think I'm "cured" but I'm not doing as bad I used to be. So I tell myself that is ok.

I have a simular problem. Most noteable is fish. Tastes like the trash smells like when you forget it on a hot day literally makes me puke.
Also cooked banans tastes rotten

I'm a fatass so I eat too much, I guess. Or maybe it is just the alcoholism.

I'm the same way. I don't think this is a disorder, those foods are basically engineered to do that. I never buy them anymore because of it but will eat them if offered.
Homemade cookies just don't have the same addictive quality for some reason.

[Anonymous No.14956924]

Doesn't fish taste like that for everyone? Its not something I've ever craved. I eat it because of the health benefits.

[Anonymous No.14956954]

>>14953598
Yeah, was a full on food addict ballooned up to 470 pounds. Got help, therapy, meds, started keto, doing better now but some days are harder than others. But I do have lot more discipline now. I'll never admit I was powerless to stop it (I wasn't), because I was the one putting the food in my mouth and aware of how bad it was for me so I'm the one who needed to stop doing it.

[Anonymous No.14956981]

I went from fat to skinny to anorexic to average to fat to average to fat to average to fat to average to fat. So yes?

The fat always lined up with personal problems and lack of social support.

The way to win? Treat food like you treat money. Measure and adjust. If you go on a bender you better be balancing your checkbook. If you want to eat a bunch of shit, plan for it.

The other thing is replacing your behavior with better choices like working out, cleaning your place and so on.

I’m gonna make it. This is my last chance.

Not sure if it’s a disorder, but I eat one regular sized meal around 1PM every day, and then one massive meal around 10PM. I think it’s been years since I’ve had breakfast.

i want to eat more food, i don't care if i get fat. my body requires more energy, my brains require more energy. food is sustenance, i am hungry.

Yes. I eat food.
I am compelled to, at least once per day and not much more often, to 'cook' food then place it into my 'mouth', a hole typically used by most americans to produce noise, then masticate it using decent non-american teeth until it can be 'swallowed', much like men in California consume the waste products of americans and latino males.
I find this works...

>I'm around 50kg for 170cm
That's pretty nuts. I have pretty much the same eating habits and I'm 170cm and usually ~65 KG and I've gone to around 50KG a couple of times in my life and felt like a walking skeleton. The last time I noticed it as I was looking at myself in the mirror and was creeped out by the realization that my cheeks pretty much disappeared and I looked like some emaciated hobo so I started force feeding myself for a while to start looking somewhat normal (took me like 2 weeks). Also my butt would start hurting after sitting for a couple of hours because my asscheeks had melted so no cushion for the pelvic bones. I don't know how anorexics deal with this shit for years.

I have bulimia. I come on here during the days when I am restricting since I use looking at food and reading about it as a way to cope through the hunger. Of course that doesn't last long because I end up binging and throwing it all up a few days later lol. I'm just waiting to die from a heart attack or maybe rupturing my esophages or something like that. Maybe I'll get a deadly infection because I purge sometimes in public restrooms, gave me strep once.

I'm a fucking fatass, around 120kg.
I binge eat. I need a lot to feel satistfied and I need concious effort not to gorge myself with shitty food when hungry.
Sometimes it's sweets, sometimes it's meat, sometimes it's even vegetables. Yesterday I ate 2 portions of ice cream, half a sheet pan of roasted vegetables, around 150g dry weigh of pasta, half a kilo of pan-fried pork tenderloin, and a piece of raw daikon. And that's not a binge day.
Sometimes cravings cloud my judgement and I order some sort of greasy fastfood, like a whole pizza or huge burger with several sides.
Cravings for carbs are weaker, but i still often go "fuck it" and grab some dessert packed with sugar.

Sometimes it's helped by high motivation and counting calories. I could manage 2-3 month diets, losing kgs, but always regained after.
I was bouncing around 95-105kg at that time.
I literally got some food that was "within" calorie budget, ate it and never bought more.
Unfortunately, it takes plenty of focus and doesn't hold under stress. Traveling? I stop counting calories. Exams? I stop counting calories. And so on. And restoring the regime is always hard.

Even to this day I don't have "cookie jars" or whatever. If the snack is bought, it's eaten. If i don't want to eat it, i don't buy it.

Sometimes i literally gorge myself with vegetables. Half kg pack of cucumbers? Gone. Quarter of a cabbage? Nice snack. Tomatoes? I eat them like apples, with a dash of salt.
Mostly works at summer because winter vegs are often shitty. I'm looking at you, cardboard tomatoes. And it doesn't stop cravings entirely.

Well, hot tea for satiety kinda helps too.

It's about realizing that sheer will is not enough. Drink a bottle of ex-lax, then try to will yourself not to shit. Ain't gonna work. Same with addiction.

[Anonymous No.14959228]

i binge eat when stressed. It's kinda funny, because I was at 72kg, steadily losing weight, four days ago, and since then I am up to 82. I understand a lot of this is water weight that would disappear pretty fast if I ate normaly for three days in a row, but I'm probably gonna lose my job so I might as well eat food while I can still afford it.
