I Am OBSESSED With Foods! Thinking About Food All Day! / Eating Disorder Recovery

Why you find yourself thinking about food all day? All you seem to think about is food, eating, what to eat, how to prepare it, how many calories it is, is it healthy? What can cause this kind of preoccupation with food and how to fix it?

I am here to share my experience and what I learned after having bulimia and orthorexia and finally being able to fully recover. I share my knowledge, stories and offer support and encouragement to you if you need it. I am not a trained eating disorder recovery, mental health or medical professional. So please know that I do not have all the right answers and you are responsible for your own health at all times.

Honestly I am not really sure what to do if my food obsession subsided, I don't know what I would do with all the time I would have suddenly.

I can definitely identify with this. I keep changing my mind about what to have for all meals; balancing it out with how much exercise I've done during the day. I think about food during my time at work and funnily enough I look forward to my meals if I've done my workouts as I've earned the meal. I've been Anorexic and now I'd say I have an undefined eating disorder - EDNOS? Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. I'm obsessed with peanut butter based meals as I adore that food with a passion, but only have it at weekends.

It's so hard to feel better, So hard to recover... I'm struggling but you're a fantastic Help Thank you ... 🌹❤️

This is so tiring, I feel like I'm trapped and can't get out of there. I went through anorexia then now bulimia and I freaking binge A LOT. I don't know what to do I tried so many times to feel my hunger cusses and my mental hunger but I feel like it's difficult to understand those feelings and if I'm really hungry or this is just the binge.
Also sometimes I say okay if you feel it you'll have it and I do have it but I look at my friends eat without troubles I feel sad I keep asking myself why can't you do just like them!? I keep crying hoping someone helps me get out of this.

But how do I do this. I crave so many different foods sometimes. I wouldn't even know where to begin to stop restricting

[kmoy]

About 4 months into recovery and still having food cravings. They come and go meaning they go from light to intense. Lately I've been having intense and specific food cravings. It comes down to texture, sweet/salty, hot/cold and fats. I'm going to see if honoring all of these mental hunger cues and taking in the highest/calorie dense foods will help. Thanks for this video Elisa! :)

you are very pretty, Elisa. like normal girl, normal woman. i wish i was like you... some day. I am struggling now with recovery from anorexia, i am so tired, i miss restricting and all this illness-stuff, i know it is stupid and i really want to end the recovery process in the properly way, so i am gonna keep fighting, no matter how hard it will be. i hope i can handle it. / your videos help me a lot, so thank you. kisses from Poland! :-)

I didn’t restrict but I still binge. Is it just the fact that I just love food and like chewing them? Why can’t I just be like my other friends😭

[heye]

I have started eating enough but I resonate so much with not eating the things you actually crave.. I DONT WANT TO GET FAT

[mariacruz]

Pppppls pls help me, i want to recover from my eating disorder.

I always think about food literally whole day. When i first woke up and even before sleep. What should i do? I am so obsessed with food. I ate what i want today and yesterday just like what some video says but I think i'm just binging.
I want to end my life. I am not like this before. I really miss myself.

I need your help guys!!

[IAmEnoughHere]

[spottedbybarbie]

[cecics]

How much time did it take you for you to not think abt food?

[frogisco]

Ok, so I tried to 'eat what I want' several years ago and gained 50 pounds and was obese. It's taken me 3.5 years of restrictions to only lose 35....but the obsession and 24/7 hunger us driving me insane. Help! How do you keep the weight off, or lose more without restrictions?
