Hi all, new to the thread. I’m currently working on losing 20-30 pounds & have an issue with cravings, as many people do. Thing is, I used to be anorexic five years ago, then ended up on the binge eating side of things. I’ve since managed to smooth my eating habits out, but the binge habit has remained.
I’ve gotten fairly good at the whole “incorporate craving foods into your calorie amount” for CiCo stuff to make me feel less deprived, but I’m just not good at stopping when I’m full. I get immense emotional comfort from food, perhaps from my disordered history. But I get a sense of accomplishment & satisfaction from finishing a whole serving, whole ice cream sundae, whole whatever, even if I’m full. I still struggle with occasional binges, & this “don’t stop til it’s gone” mindset happens with those too, even if I physically feel sick.
Essentially, my question is how can I allow myself to eat craving foods in moderation & be able to stop eating them? I recognize I have a lot of emotional/disordered mindset baggage going on here, perhaps stemming from the state of starvation I was in & my body trying to stockpile food when given the chance. But does anyone have advice? Thank you!
