The difference between healthy eating and disordered eating?
tw: ED’s, specifically compulsive eating and maybe anorexia?
For like, forever, I’ve been a compulsive eater, and it’s been a problem and I am totally happy being fat but sometimes I have gained close to 15 pounds in as many days and I need to step back and look at my decisions and try to fix my life.
And the problem is, it always takes until my clothes don’t fit or someone makes a comment because I’ve been eating this way since I was like, 10, and it’s really the norm for me. But when I noticed it, I try to change something.s
And that usually ends in “healthy eating”….which I am pretty sure for me is just another form of disordered eating.
See, when I am watching what I eat, I either sneak food (which is just more compulsive eating) and then deny it to myself and pretend like it’s totally okay, or I just like, really do not eat enough. And I don’t do the gym, because that is not the person I am, but the last time this happened, I walked A LOT for weeks. Like, excessively.
So now I am at the place again. None of my pants fit and I’m just always fucking eating and I have no idea what to do with myself because ideally I’d like to fit into my clothes, but I feel like I’m fighting fire with fire and eventually I am just going to turn into my mother NO QUIERO.
Ugh. I’m sorry. It’s three in the morning and I am getting my nipples pierced tomorrow and I am stressed (although currently not eating) and I just need to say this to the internet. I have a problem, and I have no idea what to do about it.
