i feel like a fraud reading the wins channel, does that go away

NP

grieving food is real. it was my hobby, my comfort and about half of my social life, ill dig out the number

please talk to somebody

CH

how do you stop reading every twinge as something serious

TW

comments about my body were harder to take than any side effect and nobody warns you about it

NP

the plateau nearly ended it for me. what got me through was logging something other than my weight

i cook more now than i used to, i just eat less of it, and that compromise saved that part of me

somebody said the easy way thing to me and i just said it was not easy and changed the subject. it worked fine

TW

if all you managed today was the dose and some water, that counts and i mean that

CH

if you are struggling in a way this channel cannot hold, please talk to a professional. we are not a crisis service and we know it, not advice obviously
i spent twenty years negotiating with myself about food and then the negotiation just stopped, and that took months to sit with

CH

while im here feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel

the shame eased when i stopped thinking of it as a shortcut and started thinking of it as treatment

QH

update from 10 months ago: the flatness lifted, slowly, and i did not have to change anything to make it
i read every twinge as something serious for the first three months and it does settle down

thank you for saying it
