I put the title as emotional eating because this maybe be something more and I wanted to put a trigger warning ahead.
I think I might have an eating disorder.
It’s more than emotional eating, it’s more than splurging, it’s more than a sweet tooth. I’ve stopped buying desserts because I will eat them all in one night. At the hint of any emotional turmoil I feel compelled to eat out or not eat my meal prep or just treat myself. But it goes farther than that- I will make a whole prep of something that would normally be 3 or 4 meals and eat it all in one night. I think I enjoy the feeling of finishing my food and enjoy the feeling of being full.
I don’t know if it’s an eating disorder or just an unhealthy relationship with food. But the urges to act on the behavior above are always stronger than the urges to stop eating and get up and work out. I’m in a mentally good space right now and feel like I have no excuses to not stay on track and I’m feeling really discouraged. I have the tools in most aspects of my life to deal with obstacles, but this seems to be something I can’t get a handle on.
I saw two friends on social media who have been good on their diet and exercise plan and have lost the weight and I feel upset that that could have been me.
