It sounds like you're struggling with your relationship with food and your body, and I want you to know that you’re not alone in this. Overeating to the point of physical discomfort, followed by shame and attempts to compensate with unhealthy weight loss methods, can be signs of an eating disorder. These behaviors aren’t just about food—they often stem from emotional distress, stress, or deeper psychological patterns.
Understanding Eating Disorders that could be relevant here (not a diagnosis just for informational purposes):
Binge Eating Disorder (BED) – Eating large amounts of food in a short period, feeling out of control, followed by guilt or shame.
Bulimia Nervosa – Cycles of binge eating followed by purging (vomiting, excessive exercise, or laxatives).
Disordered Eating Patterns – Frequent restrictive dieting, compulsive eating, and reliance on unsafe weight loss methods.
How to Start Healing:
Mindful Eating – Recognizing hunger and fullness cues instead of emotional triggers.
Emotional Awareness – Identifying what drives the urge to overeat (stress, boredom, sadness).
Healthy Weight Management – Avoid extreme diets; focus on balanced nutrition and sustainable habits.
Seeking Support – Eating disorders are treatable with professional help. Therapy can provide coping strategies, emotional regulation, and a healthier mindset toward food and body image.
You don’t have to go through this alone. If you're open to it, I’d be happy to help you explore these feelings in a safe and supportive space. Would you like to discuss this further?
