Something’s not right

scared of food

scared of food

i have had eating issues all my life but they have been getting more intense lately and i am now scared of food like it actually freaks me out and it takes me so so so long to find something to eat if i eat at all and then if i do eat i end up crying because i know it is just going to make me even fatter. and now aswell i think about food constantly and i plan to start exercising too to get rid of the food. i dont feel in control of this either like something has grabbed a hold of me and is dragging me along. but part of me doesnt mind because i know it is right and i need to be thin. is it ok to be scared of food...? what i mean to say is, is it a really bad thing or could it be good in the longrun.

It's okay @Edwn1919 ..... no need to apologise .... we all have our issues. That's why we're here.

Would you like to meet some other lovely people just to chat to socially ? It might help to distract you from the way you are feeling at the moment.

Re: scared of food

i ate too much i either cant eat the rest of the day or exercise or maybe both i think both would be best on the plus side i did loose some weight today even if only a little but i need to loose a lot more i just have to keep working on it but i need to stop eating certain foods altogether i think i will start telling my mum to stop making me food then i wont have to eat it and then no one will know because they wont know i am skipping meals.

Re: scared of food

Just eat small serves of regular food @Eden1919 .....

If I start telling you what my hubby has done to his body by starving himself, I'm telling you, you don't want that ....

You can be smil without your hair falling out, your teeth breaking, your skin aging beyond your years, and other signs that the body doesn't have enough nutrition to repair itself .....

Set yourself a limit of 30-60mins moderate exercise 6 days a week, and eat slightly smaller heathy meals ...., your weight will find its natural place without stressing about it ....,

Stress causes insulin release too you know .... and that can also lead to insulin resistance and weight gain ..... that is what happened to me. It wasn't the wrong sort of food or lack of exercise ..... I didn't know that high stress levels can cause metabolic syndrome too.

Still think you need to speak to the psych and go to a dietician for an eating plan that will give you the body you want in a healthy way.
