BED and me; from the heart.

My personal warts and all account of living with Binge Eating Disorder (BED).

09/05/2023

I am actually in shock that my body chose this beautiful salad instead of beige fast food.
I now understand why listening to our bodies needs is so important. It will guide me forward.

Great post for reminding us that eating is meant to be a pleasure. A moment to indulge in.

07/05/2023

Believe when I say I’ve got this. I’m figuring it out. Please walk beside me as my friend, supporting me….. but not if you are judging or shaming me. Just listen ❤️

‘Food’ for thought? I can certainly agree 💯 with the side effects.
Hence I am trying to move in a different direction; body acceptance; kindness to myself and my situation; and intuitive eating. A whole new way of living. 🍃🌱☀️

Thank you ❤️

How long have wasted trying to get my ‘old’ body back?
It actually upsets me to even think about it.
Time to live in MY BODY before time runs out.
Body acceptance is hard but so worth it. Live for the day 🥰

I am still learning about the damage lifelong dieting has done to me and my now very disordered eating. My fear of eating as every diet I have been on contradicts the other. To the point I know longer know how to eat a balanced healthy amount of food. The stress is intolerable.

01/05/2023

Always starting again!
Ever day I make myself promises that I break as soon as I take that first bite of food in the morning!
Then it feels too late to rectify it so the whole days food goes to pot!
Instead of a whole day wasted I really want to start over the minute after it’s gone wrong.
I’m sure my brain is wired wrong or is so muddled up it no longer knows what to do!

Just eat! No clock watching; no guilt; no ignoring hunger signals; no going to bed hungry…..

29/04/2023

Yup! 😂🥰

28/04/2023

Omg….yes!!!
Just because I’m super fat does not mean I am not allowed to eat?!
In fact, just to give my body and brain enough energy to function at a safe level I need more calories than a fat or slimmer person.
Please don’t tut or make any remark to a fat person about what they are eating. They know!!!

27/04/2023

The most stressful aspect of my life! I am literally thinking about food all day!
Although this has eased considerably since I am not dieting…I no longer need to factor in what I am ‘allowed’ as I can eat whatever I want.
My eating disorder is terrified of me recovering so is constantly plotting how to sabotage my eating. It is taking a lot of mental work to chose what I want to eat, and enjoy without the bingeing taking over 🥰

26/04/2023

Too many rules; too many dos and don’ts!
I am learning intuitive eating and how to listen to my body but I am constantly interrupted by the opinions of others which are extremely difficult to ignore.
This then throws seeds of doubt into my conscience meaning I get so weighed down with the “am I doing the right thing”
Time to be a potato! 😂🥰

Myths about binge eating…..

24/04/2023

I’m stuck on 3 and think I will be there a while!
At least I have made a start to learn to listen and respect my body and it’s wishes.
I do wish I could wave a magic wand though and everything would be ok but nope, I have to experience this the painful and painfully slow way to fully get it!
I am very determined this will work for me. I just wish I wasn’t getting fatter in the meantime while I work it all out. There are no shortcuts though and definitely no dieting as that will set me back to no 1! 🥰

23/04/2023

Hear hear!
Relax, please! There is enormous pressure on us all to constantly do the right thing. How about just doing your thing your way?
Have a really good day! (So don’t stub your toe, catch flu or get hit by a tornado if you can help it!!!) 🥰

This is exactly why I am having therapy! I am so lucky, I found a counsellor who really seems to understand my issues and the deep reasons I have an eating disorder.
I must admit though I must be a nightmare client as I divert, distract and dodge anything that means I need to talk about feelings!
She is very persistent though so one day she will get through my barriers. 🤞🥰

21/04/2023

I wish I had realised this applied to body size and food a long time ago. I assumed everybody knew what they were talking about when they advised a different diet plan or told me what foods were good or bad for me. All the tutting I got, all the shame and humiliation I felt.
Through the help of therapy I realise the only voice I need to listen to is mine!
Now I am beginning to hold my head up high, doing what is right for me in that moment.
I’m sorry if that doesn’t please everyone!! 🥰
