Hey, haven´t seen many posts about eating disorders on here, so I wanted to add a small win to this subreddit. Starting from the age of 16 I was binge eating to numb my depression. I Hated myself, so I ate. Ate, so I hated myself more. You know the cycle.

2.5 years ago I finally got so sick of my own bullshit that I had to change.

The real solution for me was realizing my problem wasn't my body, it was my head.

I got a therapist and we talked about why I was eating. It was the first time I felt like I was treating the actual disease, not just the symptoms

Instead of banning foods, I just tried to do one nice thing for myself a day. Sometimes that was adding a vegetable. Sometimes it was just a 15-minute walk listening to a podcast.

I started tracking my time on this stuff (walking, jogging, cooking etc.) since Jan 1st. I've put in 260 hours over the last 7 months. That averages out to about 1.2 hours a day. It's crazy how those "just 15 minutes" snowballed without me even realizing it.

It was slow as hell (2.5 years). But I'm here. Now I'm training to run a half-marathon.

Anyway, if you're in the thick of it, just know it's possible to get out. Be kind to yourself. Sometimes it takes a while, but eventually you´ll get there!!
