Hey WrongTurn

I go up and down with my over/binge eating and in the past have tried to make up for it by eating very little or salads etc. I've recently been to see a naturopath who has put me on some supplements and she has also tweaked my diet a bit. It's nothing crazy, it's just focusing on what I should be eating rather than what I shouldn't.

One of the supplements I am taking is to balance out my blood sugar levels (I'm not diabetic). My naturopath said that I was having too much sugar in the morning and by the afternoon I was craving anything sweet and that would continue into the night. Often at night I would binge on sweet foods.

I've found that seeing a naturopath has been a really healthy kick up the butt for me to make sure I'm eating the right foods and nourishing my body.

I have also vowed to not be so hard on myself. I had so many negative thoughts that after over eating I would feel so disgusted in myself that I didn't have the will to even bother eating healthy. It's hard to be positive all the time, but I just try to keep repeating in my head, I'm better than this and I deserve better than this (when I'm about to binge). I have a long way to go, but I feel stronger in my mind.

I hope sharing some of my story helps a little.

I wish you the best. Keep on trying, you are worth it.
