Hi, I’m a girl who has been struggling with food for around 2–3 years. I never reached a very low weight, but I did lose my period twice. This time, I’ve been without it for over a year, almost two.
For the past month or more, I’ve been experiencing what I think might be “extreme hunger,” and I’m trying to honor it. But I’m scared that maybe it’s not actually extreme hunger and that it could just be anxiety, boredom, or emotional eating — especially because I notice I eat much more when I’m at home.
I can’t seem to stop snacking between meals (especially after breakfast), even when I eat a good amount at my main meals. It feels like my mind is constantly focused on food, and I end up eating snack after snack.
I feel really guilty, unmotivated, and overwhelmed :(
I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something similar or has any advice.
Thank you for reading.
