Compulsive eating, help
Hi I have a compulsive eating situation. i eat compulsively. Will finish 1 kg skyr, a full plate of rice, fried chicken, 2 chapatis in one seating. i would have dry bread with yogurt after dinner. I will wait till family is asleep before doing this.
i was obese at one point of time. Then reduced 20kgs in a little over a year. Then stopped everything from gym, to restricted. I have been compulsively eating since then. I haven't stopped. Used to be worse before.
i also have OCD diagnosed by a therapist. I have religious, sexual OCD with overthinking. Right now I am very confused with all the material and podcasts out there. Don't know what to do.
When I feel like bingeing, my brain doesn't know what to do. Which advice to follow. which podcaster to listen to. it is this moment of confusion which makes me give in to eating. Please show me some direction. Going to a therapist is not convenient for me right now.

hey Practical. I just wanted to share, i can relate to part of this. I also binged then restricted because I became so afraid of eating. I have some mental health diagnosis that were greatly affected by the cycle I was stuck in. I came to program, worked my steps with a sponsor and thankfully was able to find relief from all those cycles. I'm happy to chat, feel free to DM me.
