ED Disordered eating

Overall though, the amounts are much, much less than what I used to eat. So I have reduced the amount of what I am eating so much. I would eat a whole box of chocolates, but I didn't eat a whole box. I ate half the box, sharing it with my partner. So to be fair to myself I am doing much better over all.
 
So the week of the wedding I lost in a big way, and it has taken some time to rein it all back in again. I used to emotionally eat this all the time so to do it for one week is a major improvement achievement.

Overall I am doing better, I am much more aware of how much I am eating, why I am eating, and also what I am eating.

I have gotten lost in other people's issues.
 
So Papa Bear is in hospital and all I want to do is comfort eat. I am still eating reasonably and that is good. It is difficult. I just have to keep focussing on practising reasonable eating habits. We leave in an hour to see Papa Bear again.
 
So I did do comfort eating yesterday, mostly I did it with healthy things like bananas and apples. I had used all my Weight Watchers points for yesterday, 23 but I went double went when I had fish and chips for dinner.

It was hard being at the hospital all yesterday.
 
@Ninja sorry to hear that you are struggling as well.

I am still struggling with my eating again. I am hoping today is better. I binged last night, so I did not feel like eating this morning so I had two cups of peppermint tea. I have not been going well with my eating this week. I haven't put on a lot of weight though, which is good. I am still tracking my food in my Weight Watcher's app so I am keeping a track honestly of what I am eating. So I can see why I used to be obese because all the food that I used to eat. It was a friend's funeral this week, she committed suicide, and I am angry about this. I picked that was what she was going to do some months out from the suicide. I was angry when she said she was going into "retreat" I knew that was bullshit. I said to my partner that the next time that we would all be together would be at her funeral from suicide, that prediction came true this week. I am having trouble accepting her decision, and the whole situation, and I have to accept that the people didn't have capacity to manage the situation, and that she did not choose to pursue a path of wellness or life. There are so many people who work so hard here, and have very few resources, she had many resources but she still chose not to work on the issues in her life.

I wanted to binge eat at lunch because I felt overwhelmed by a man I was talking to, but I made a decision not to.

My sister's appalling behaviour after my wedding ceremony, and lunch is the end of all that. We will see each other for our birthdays, Xmas and one of my brother's birthdays, and if she won't behave around that, then we won't see each other again. Because f*ck it, life is too short.
 
All I want to do is eat, once again, that is all I want to do, is eat and eat and eat. I am really struggling with being present with feelings. I don't really know how to be with feelings.
