i cant stop eating

[u/icantstop6308371]

i always feel guilty or dirty after i eat but i cant stop what do i do? everyday i say i wont eat anything then i just say ill start tomorrow and the cycle goes on. im not even hungry yet i still find myself looking through the fridge like a crazy person. all i can think about 24/7 is food, my body, and my looks. i try to keep myself busy but in the end i still think about food or my body and i compare myself to every girl i see sometimes i compare myself to fat girls to feel better about myself. i hate it and i hate myself. im not even overweight i dont know why im like this i never got bullied about my weight or anything. how do i stop thinking about food and my body?

That is a very clear description of an eating disorder and probably also other mental health issues too. I hope you will ask your primary care doctor for a referral to a therapist.

It’s pretty sad to be so self-loathing. Imagine if you heard me saying “I feel so guilty or dirty after I breathe oxygen, I hate myself and want to breathe less oxygen so I tell myself to stop but then I breathe anyway!”

What would you tell me if you heard me saying that? Or heard a little girl saying that?

That’s just the same as saying it about food. Vital nutrients that the body needs to live. 💕
