I don't know how to handle this anymore. I am trying to stop binge eating, and have a healthier relationship with food. I am unable to fit comfortably in my clothes and have had to buy new pants recently and I am starting to really stress out about it. I really cannot afford to gain anymore weight.
I am also trying to stay on a budget. I try to come up with a meal plan and write a grocery list so I can stay within my budget. I am trying to do that now but I am getting really overwhelmed with what to buy and make. I am gluten free, and have recently discovered I am having a bad reaction to dairy. I have always heard when you are trying to stop binge eating that you have to stop restricting yourself, but I can't eat gluten and now I am trying to stop eating dairy which so far has not been succesful, which leads me to always having stomach pain, bloating, low energy and irritability. I am also a vegetarian since November. I am trying to become vegan because I think it is healthier and that I would feel a lot better but I can't seem to stop eating dairy!
Basically at the moment I cannot come up with a grocery list...I just can't decide what to buy that I can eat, that won't cost too much and will also not cause me to binge.
I also have a toddler and babysit another toddler so not only do I have to plan a menu for me...but I have to plan a menu for them that they will eat. It is causing me so much stress, I don't know what to do. I have to accomodate my vegetarian and food sensitivity diet and make things kid friendly at the same time. I feel like I might pull my hair out.
I feel like I don't want to eat anymore. It would be soo much easier if I had a drug or alcohol problem....I could just STOP it completely. I wish I could just stop eating altogether.
