I'm trying to lose weight, but I'm also trying so hard to just be healthy. My dr has me on an appetite suppressant to help me lose weight, because of my bingeing and it's working great. I do have an intolerance to gluten and dairy but have been eating it anyway for months. I'm sure it's part of the reason for my lack of energy and stomach pain and I'd like to stop eating it again but cutting foods out of my diet is hard because it triggers bingeing. I've also been flirting with the idea of going vegan again (for the third time) for ethical reasons but also because I truly think that it's a lot healthier.
I just don't know how to eat anymore. I need to go grocery shopping but I just don't know what to buy. How the hell do I stop thinking about food being good/bad all the time?

Our philosophy, program and community | Whole9 | Let us change your life.

I follow this as much as I can and it has kept me healthy and in a healthy weight range through my Bulimia.

I eat gluten and dairy free, it's a challenge sometimes yes. If you want any ideas I'll try to help tho. It can be hard to get back on track with food restrictions but I bet your body will be happy if you do if gluten and dairy are an issue for you.

Do you know if you have celiacs or is it a gluten intolerance?

I wish you the best with this struggle. It's not an easy task with eating disorders. But little by little.

Even without any intolerance, I hate going to the grocery store & looking at the ingrediants of the food. All the horrible additives & the fructose/sugar that's added to our foods....it's no wonder that everyone is so sick all the time & cancer is running rampant in the world since sugar is the worse thing for cancer.......eating healthy is so important....but it's so hard to find healthy foods & cooking healthy......sometimes I find it's just easier to NOT eat....but that's NOT the solution either.....but sometimes it feels like it after going shopping
