Mental Health Eating Disorders & Body Dysmorphia

Hi everyone...i am new to the group, i signed up yesterday! I was just wondering people opinions on weight watchers? I understand its not the best idea to 'diet' when tryin to tackle a binge eating disorder but i do need to lose a LOT of weight! And thought about weight watchers as you can generally eat whatever you want within moderation, and its a structured way of eating? TIA x

As you already said, it's very bad idea to diet before you solve the problem of binge-eating.

Just focus on healthy eating. I know that for me as soon as I start focusing on restricting my food in a scheduled diet I want to binge 10x more. Just eat when you are actually hungry and normal portions. I hate too that this is a slow process, for I like... BOOM... done easy fixes. You can do this, overcome one thing at a time:)

Hey, I'm new too, literally just signed up having just inhaled a bag of cookies. It has to stop! I've noticed some other people on this group have started a binge-free month. As newbies, we could establish ourselves some ground rules and help each other out? Other newbies welcome. I think it just helps to have people going through the same thing. I've never been part of a support group before, it seems like a useful tool :)

@Finn_4444 I would be down to do that!

@Slexis Sweet that's awesome! How does one go about making a group or forum on here...

Lol idk I'm fairly new as well. You can message by supporting each other and talk through there

Cool :) Well tomorrow it begins. Binge free! I'm going to aim for the 21st May personally, but hopefully the good behaviour will continue well beyond then. I'm going to be bored silly at work tomorrow so binging risk will be high! Taking some miso soup sachets in for emergency craving curbs.

Hahaha yes boredom is the worst! And that's a good goal actually, not overambitious (which never really works) but enough to be proud lol, I'm in :)
