Hello,
I know it’s not the right sub to make this post, but I am genuinely looking for people that are willing to lock in for the next weeks. Exam season is approaching , and the struggle to sit for long hours facing a laptop and a pile of papers alone is real. If by any means , u r in El Jadida , feel free to dm me .
I am 21 yo , so I d prefer to connect with uni people.
I struggled for so long with a binge eating disorder, a mix of compulsive behaviour followed by a period of starving, which kept me just slightly overweight.
This year, I fixed my habits, started to eat like a normal person. I learned how to cook delicious healthy meals. I was the happiest I ve ever been in my life. I dropped 10 kgs , I absolutely loved how my body looked in the mirror, loved my collar bones , my curves everything.
Well , the progress wasn’t linear , my PMS period carried with it its downs each month, but nothing serious , a cheat meal, some sweets , but that s all.
Last month, I started to obsess over food again, started to eat compulsively huge amounts of food , because it made me feel instantly ‘ good’ . I was drowning in my emotions, craving food 24/7 , waking with a puffy face and a bloated stomach , hating myself and starving for the next 3 days , surviving on coffee and salted water and convincing myself That Um doing a water fast for its health benefits lol , and the cycle continues , Um officialy in hell again
Food addictions , unlike other addictions, are much more embarassing. I can’t talk with anyone irl about my struggles , and how painful it s to deal with These issues. I tried to look for BED anonymous meetings or something like this , but I couldn’t find anything similar here.
If someone has struggled with something similar , I d like to hear how u ve delath with this issue.
Any advice , or kind words are welcome . I d also like to know if there s AA or addicts meetings here in Morocco , even if it s not related to food, cuz I firmly believe that all addictions are the same , the common dominator is the addictive tendencies of a certain type of personalities that fail to manage their emotions, and channel their energy.
