We picked up some treats from Vera’s place in a small town in the US Midwest! They are absolutely delicious. I can't recommend them enough!

I’m not trying to play judge on who the better coach is... but looking at Mr. Vlašić’s behavior over the last few years, as far as I can recall... it just hasn't been professional. He seems to be constantly angry with someone, and he always ends up being the one left out. 🙄

It’s the exact same situation as what happened when Friedrich decided to take a break until she hit the qualifying standard 😂😂😂

Does anyone know why the qualifying heats aren't being broadcast? 😠😠

What really gets under my skin and leaves me feeling miserable is how everyone seems to admire my weight loss and my personality... meanwhile, I feel like a total fraud because, in reality, I can't stop binge eating.

George Garcia9 said:hey, well, at least someone finally spoke up about having an eating disorder 😁 though obviously I'm sorry you're going through this, because I know exactly how it feels 😢
I'm not sure if you're leaning toward Binge Eating Disorder or anorexia.... (since you mentioned the apples lol). tell me, what's your weight like, "objectively"—are you thin / average / overweight?

I used to call myself "binging Anne," basically awannabe anorexic who just overeats 😁 my usual way of losing weight is just living on soup and juice for a couple of weeks... but then again.. I have periods where I pig out like crazy 🙄 and generally, I HATE the feeling after I eat anything—anything at all. I feel "dirty"... and then I "punish" myself by stuffing my face like a cow 🙄 😂 and when I'm in a "good" phase, I don't eat or I eat incredibly little... it's just a cycle.... it's messed up, I know 👎

anyway, this isn't common knowledge—eating disorders aren't "black and white," meaning you don't just have anorexia and stop eating, or bulimia and purge. there are tons of combinations of the two; actually, there are three things (including bingeing) and it's different for everyone... if you spend every single day obsessing over food (whether you don't want to eat it, or you want to kill yourself because of food), hating yourself, thinking you're fat, wanting to end it all because of your looks and/or eating habits---> it's a disorder. regardless of what you call it 🤷

hang in there!!! 😘

Hey... you actually kind of "cheered me up," or made me laugh, I guess... because I think you really get what I mean. There are definitely days when I overeat (right now it's been lasting for about a month), but I don't even eat anything substantial. I force myself to eat when my nerves are shot or when I feel too weak to function—like grabbing some seed bread from a health food store or maybe a chicken breast... but I just see it as unnecessary calories. In my head, I'm always telling myself, "Fruit—you can eat as much of that as you want," so I'm constantly stuck on that mindset. If I'm hungry, I'll grab an apple instead of a pastry every single time.

Weight... hmm. I used to struggle with being overweight—really overweight. But I lost 30 pounds in three months, and now I'm 121 lbs at 5'3". My doctor is losing her mind because my liver enzymes are acting up, so she referred me to a specialist clinic for psychological help under an eating disorder diagnosis.

My daily schedule is basically based on managing my time around what I can buy outside the house and how much time I have for my stomach to "flatten out" before I have to go out. But when I'm home... once I've eaten (read: overeaten), 😛 I just lie in bed and curl my legs up so I don't have to look at my stomach.

Hey everyone... I’m honestly not sure where to post this or what category this falls under... or even what to do next... I don't know if there's something wrong with me or what exactly is going on...

What is actually happening here???
I'm not sure if it qualifies as an eating disorder or not... but every time I eat, I feel like I look absolutely terrible. I get so irritable and fall into these depressive moods because I feel like fat is just "accumulating" on my body...
On the other hand, I love food far too much, so trying to starve myself just drives me insane... sometimes I actually end up overeating to the point where I can barely breathe... and then I just want to die. I remember one time I was even looking into ways to end it all...
Most of the time, I just eat apples... and I'll go through two or three pounds of them in a single day 😠 😠 😠 😲 😲 😲 😲

I am so angry at myself.... I feel such shame, and I'm losing my mind because I can't seem to manage this anymore.

HELP
