I can't top all the information the last person provided...
but.. I've always had problems with eating disorders.. they are hard to overcome.
Just promise to never give up this fight..
There were months, years I'd eat the smallest amount in a week to get by.. then months where all i did was eat.. and of course I felt awful about it...
but darling, we need help. we can't do it alone. and i think you realize that by reaching out for a therapist.
i hope you find the right one who can help you through this. have you ever thought of researching ED clinics? maybe they could provide support or lead you in the right direction.
It's hard... you can do it!
If you become a grazer, continually snacking on low calorie foods, with several smallish meals, and find things to do which you enjoy, or interest you, it should go a long way towards solving your problem. In this way, you will avoid the pangs of hunger which spur binge eating: always start the day with breakfast, to keep your blood glucose levels up. Use alarms/reminders, if necessary, for snacking. Go to: h t t p : / / c h o o s e d i e t . b l o g s p o t . c o m (you should type it in the usual manner) and select one, possibly changing, later. Eat 6 - 8 small meals, daily, with a little protein in each, preceded 20 minutes earlier with a large glass of water: this speeds up weight loss. Snack on any amount of celery sticks, with the occasional carrot stick, and/or slices of cucumber, tomato, bell pepper/capsicum, or raw onion, in any vinegar (a little salt & pepper/chilli powder is OK, but no oil, or sugar! Rinse your mouth with water, later, if using vinegar. Your body needs a small amount of [ preferably olive, or premium coconut* ] oil, daily, to be healthy: about 2 teaspoonsful, if not getting it in the rest of your food intake already). Understand and accept that many people use food in an attempt to fill an emotional void, which is unhealthy, and never works. Others eat out of boredom, so have plenty of things to keep you occupied.
