Elaine Featherhead's Journal, 23 January 2023

Alas, I fell off the wagon and my weight, emotions and mental well being all seen to feel like a roller-coaster. not the good kind.

I have been between 56 to 65 up and down and it's a constant battle for control. Every day is a struggle and this last month has been particularly hard.

I feel like giving up some days and just eating until I hate myself and then other days I just wish I didn't have to eat at all.

I just can't stop thinking about food and i eat and eat and eat and I am just never satisfied. My tummy is full but I don't feel full. I will eat and eat again. I am losing grip and don't know how to stop.

I know it's the worst thing to wish upon oneself, but sometimes I wish I could get some kind of ED that would make me hate food or not eat at all. Why is it so hard.

If only I could develop a healthy relationship with food and maintain my weight without a constant uphill battle. If I don't obsessively monitor what I eat, I will gain half a kilo, easy, every day.

Sigh.

Look up Betterwithbalance on instagram - she has experience with binge eating disorder, and maybe even joining her program would help

I can relate! I don't actually GET hungry, because I never allow myself to go that long without eating. My hardest times are in the mornings. I want to eat everything. I've learned to work with my cravings, by allowing myself to eat frequently; but, I make sure that it is measured portions of fruit. Also, I find that I do best if I can still have something I want (like 1/4 of a KitKat every day), so I don't feel deprived on my diet (which is basically just counting calories).
