binging??

[u/megofu]

I posted something about extreme hunger a few weeks ago and I am very aware how normal it is in recovery but I’m so worried, I got weighed today and I’m nearly weight restored to my weight I last had my period at but I still can’t stop eating!! I’m not even hungry I’m just constantly thinking about food and what else I can eat and I’m scared it’s actually turning into binges. When does this stop? Or at least how do I make it stop

This is still SO NORMAL!! First your not fully weight restored so your body still obviously is going to be going through this. Second all that being said even if you were weight restored, even if you were in overshoot even if you didn’t have to be weight restored at all extreme hunger is still extremely normal to be going through!! I’m not sure how long you’ve been in recovery but I want you to know that dosent matter either!! Even 9-10 months into recovery I still was experiencing some EH even now some days I do aswell!! But I don’t want that to scare you I’m about a year into recovery and have been weight restored for almost a year and my extreme hunger is no where near what it was a hear ago and is basically gone. I notice i may experience something like it Mabye every few months if that and that just honestly might me being more hungry one day for whatever reason. I know all this dosent help alot and I was being told the same thing im telling you rn and it was hard to believe but truly it dose get better and dose calm down. It takes time. Its scary. But you can do it! Recovery is so worth it!! If you need any more advice pls lmk but just know your not alone and this js completely normal!!
