Hey girl! I’m a nutrition major and just saying you can’t be addicted to food!! You quite literally need it to survive!! I don’t wanna make any assumptions but if you have this mindset that you’re addicted or doing something bad while eating, this is likely reinforcing the binging. 10 days also is a very short period of time to try and lose weight, take things slow, set realistic goals, try not to beat yourself up so much when you fall back into bad habits, if you can talk to a dietitian!!

one thing i was unprepared for when i started my own WLJ were whooshes!!! instead the weight steadily & consistently going down, sometimes my weight would fluctuate (typically, frustratingly) up and/or plateau for a week or two before i’d magically be down 4-5lbs the next time i weighed myself

i struggled with ana from 14 - 21, then hit the binge issues 21 - 22, now i’m almost 24, FINALLY im at a healthy weight for the first time in my life. there is hope !! what helped me was cooking 3x a day, ik it’s hard !! and i almost always eat a salad for lunch, easiest way to get all my veggies in :)

What helped me the most in terms of binge eating was instead of completely trying to avoid the foods that I would binge on, I would have like a few bites or one serving or whatever of it once a week as a treat. Constantly telling myself “no I can’t have that” just made me obsessed with wanting it more.
