I’ve been struggling on and off with eating disorder since 8th grade, since covid started it’s come back. I allow myself a protein shake in the morning or avocado & a bar for lunch or salad but lately, for dinner no matter, I purge. I can’t stop feeling guilty about what I ate. But when I purge I feel guilty that I did and guilt that I should be able to enjoy food I like in moderation. It’s hard living with my bf and his big Italian family because they’re always making delicious food and Italian is my favorite but lately I feel like I don’t deserve it. It makes me so sad forcing myself to feel like I don’t want something I love to eat but my brain can’t help it

      You deserve to eat nourishingly. It doesn't matter that you ate more than "you were supposed to" the day before - you should eat foods that are nutrient-dense. I would binge all the time (and purge of course). But I wish I had told myself eating should neither be a punishment or reward

      Hey, I can totally relate. Moving with my bf was hard enough without him being Italian but looking back, having someone to look out for me and love me was great for me and really got me to get better
