How Do U Guys .....
Posted: 06-08-06 18:15pm

Hey,

i was just wondering how you guys get away from the thought of food, and the guilty feelings after?


I'm getting worse and I don't know what to do.
Fed up other comparing myself to other people, totally wish I wasn't like this i'm just so confused and it's really getting me down!!

Love kirst xx

I have the same problems! Almost all of my day is consumed with thinking about eating or food! It is rough. I have yet to find a good way to keep my mind off of it.

I am also bothered by comparing myself to others. Every time I meet someone new my first thought is..."do I look skinny? Do they think I look fat?" and if it is a girl, I have to immediately know if I am skinnier than her (arms, stomach, legs, all over). If I decide that I am not, I am constantly worrying about how I look. Its terrible. Its good to know I am not the only one suffering with these thoughts all day.

Just remember that you are not alone!

You are definitely not alone and you should never worry about wha people are thinking or feeling towards you I am 5ft 10in tall and I used to way 95lbs. I was very sick. I learned that I would much rather be a little overweight than skinny as when you do have eating disorders can develope arthritis stomach and esopagus problems and you their are many more problems you can have so take care you caan still have that piece of pie or cake, just have a small one and eat healthy. If you do have an eating problem please get help!
The best to you!

Yeah you guys are definitely not alone. I feel the same way as you all. Best thing to do from thinking your fat or of food alll the time is to distract yourself.

You cant just stop eating straight away
if you want to sucsessfully stop eating you need to just reduce your amount of food intake slowly this will effectively loose your pounds but wont throw your body into absolute sickness..But stopping eating will hurt you none the less

We all have better and worse days.
Sometimes i'm obsessed with food, what I ate, how it was cooked, etc., and somedays, i'm not.

Yeah, im recovering from pretty serious bulimia, and it sucks. It really really sucks (as you well know, im sure).
What makes me stop thinking about food:
old movies, bad music (the really awful music that I would never listen to ordinarily...Pop, basically), painting my toe nails, picking flowers, and, surprisingly, cooking. Then I really appreciate cooking as an art, and food as an art, and all of that. But might not work for you.

Hope that helps.
