this is really hard to post but i really need help.
hey guys. ive come and browsed a bit here, but its not a sub i can follow because seeing posts regularly can put me in a shame cycle :(
lately i have been binging so much and i feel so lost. my days off are filled with fast food and junk food, and when i work i try to do better by having a protein shake in the morning but then by lunch im eating fast food or i dont eat anything until after work and then it's fast food. i also have energy drinks at work, so i feel like on work days im putting my body through it.
i have no self control when it comes to snacks, especially sweets. and i have terrible health anxiety about getting diabetes so it sucks. if i have stuff like cookies or chips, ill eat the whole container or bag within a day or two. sometimes in one sitting. same with cereal. cereal is one of the worst ones because i can have 2-3 bowls in one sitting.
i game a lot at my pc when im not working so if i have stuff like candy or whatever on my desk ill eat it, and if im not eating it ill be thinking "oh in a little bit i can have this snack"
its so debilitating and i feel like no one takes me seriously. when i brought it up to my therapist about a year ago she just said that its because i was quitting weed and replacing that oral fixation with something else. but like... im still binging.
its terrible. i hate myself and how it makes me feel. if i wake up at night i have a snack and go back to bed. when i wake up i immediately order food or get coffee. i "treat" myself all the time for doing things like chores or appointments. i am always thinking about what ill get at the store or what ill cook.
i just want to get to a healthier place with food and i dont know what to do.
i have eaten healthy before and im not picky. i feel like im just addicted to fast food, snacks, and junk food at this point. as im writing this im literally thinking about doordashing myself snacks. like when will it end?
i feel like i cant have any of these trigger foods in my house but im afraid if i restrict too much ill fail. i dont know what to do.
any advice would be appreciated. please help :(
