Feeling Guilty After Eating Too Much

Also, if you restrict yourself from food, you are going to binge eventually. It is inevitable and it turns into a painful cycle. Teach yourself to eat freely what you want and when you want. You might eat a lot at first because of how much you’ve been depriving yourself and I know that can be terrifying. But just continue and eventually you’ll have a perfectly healthy relationship with food. If you restrict then your mind will make you binge.

Your weight has nothing to do with if you have an ED or not. If you find it scary to eat or feel immense guilt you do not have the healthy relationship with food you deserve. The line between dieting and developing an ED is a blurry one and it’s often hard not to cross it. You deserve to eat what you like and not feel bad. You deserve to not count calories. Enjoy your life and don’t let your eating disorder control you.

I don't count calories anymore. I just eat only enough not to be hungry [when I do feel hungry]
