To think my eating habits are sinister?

[cocacolaaaclassic]

I won’t lie, I’ve struggled with mental health a long time. I am not massively over weight by any stretch and know this but I’m very very unfit. But I think I may a binge eater and I don’t exactly know what’s that means.

Every day I eat a lot. I food shop daily and find myself having the rule of a savoury thing, crisps option, sweets option,chocolate option and another savoury snack among with a big bottle of coke. And I eat it all.

If I am a binge eater, what does that mean. What do I do

Hi OP, first of all, there are many, many people who are - for want of a better word - a little 'funny' about food. I'd say your next step should be to speak to your G.P.

Have you sought support for your mental health?

What kind of things (other than snacks and treats) do you like to eat?

Do you like cooking?

There's overeating, and there's binge eating. Binge eating is usually done in secret, not in front of people and has that feeling of loss of control where you can't stop until everything is gone. It might involve buying things just to binge on that you wouldn't otherwise. It can come and go in response to whatever triggers it eg stress, emotions.

Overeating is not like that, it's just eating too much all of the time. What you're doing doesn't sound quite like a binge, but does sound like disordered eating. The "rules" especially, which almost sound like a compulsion.

Ultimately it doesn't matter what exactly it's classified as if it's not what you want to be doing. Is there anyone in real life you can talk to about your diet and your health?
