(SW 265 CW 230 28yr F) it’s bittersweet to discover that after four months of measured eating, binging doesn’t scratch that itch for me anymore. Today I had a pretty lonely day. It happens from time to time and my instinct to order delivery won out over my willpower. It wasn’t a lot, just a sandwich, fries, and a dessert but as soon as I was a few bites in I realized that rush of calm and euphoria wasn’t coming. So I just… stopped. This is the fourth or fifth time I’ve noticed it but first time I could just throw the food away and be done. It’s hard for me because I have a long complicated history with using food as a coping mechanism, and to lose food as a sure fire way to lift my mood feels like a blessing but also a weird sort of loss. Don’t worry, I scheduled an emergency therapy session for tomorrow! I’ve always turned to food but most of my friends are healthy and just exercise, clean, or even knit to self sooth. I just want to know if anyone else has encountered this. I feel sort of odd!
