its ALL a choice. its ALL hard when you have a disorder. bed and axa are two sides of the same coin, both are choices. its not cancer. you DONT have a choice when it comes to having something like cancer. it is THERE and there is nothing you can do about it on your own for most cases. with bed and axa you CAN make yourself either not eat or eat whichever applies. is it hard? yes. end of story.

Your dog got you a like. But also I like your content, so I can always hit 'like' even before watching. As for genetics - yeah, how quickly food is digested can be an individual trait. Thus, know your body, know how much time passes between eating and pooping (end of digestion cycle), which food makes you gain on quicklier, which slower (can also be an individual thing), but no. Genetically speaking we are not meant to be fat, as a species, unlike seals, hippos and other fat animals. They are fat for the reason, and we do not need that much fat on ourselves. As for exercises -absolutely! It takes time, it cannot be done overnight even if you try, because you end up with torn muscles at best and permanent damage to your body at worst. "It's the portion size" - yes! I have smell oversensitivity, especially with cooking. When I was living alone I was choosing foods that I could do fast, they didn't give a huge smell and I could eat them after I cooked them and not to throw up. It's not a great thing but there's always a solution. And I ate a lot of salads then. As for pills. I got once pills that made me gain weight within a month. Not a huge amount, around kilo or so, but it was so quick and unnatural I knew it had to be that medication. I requested a similar one but without the substance that made me fat. And guess what? *whisper* It worked. If I got a dollar for every thing I have much harder time with than other people I'd be freaking rich. :D

Repeat everyday for 1-2 months. Lose no weight despite all the working out and restriction for the first 80% of the day. Declare “Calories In/Calories Out doesn’t work.” Give up.

Some may say, oh don't worry it's muscle, or you're just sore. But imagine how hard it hits in your brain when: you fight against your urge to eat your chocolate, you're continuously hungry, you're continuously tired, additionally you get bullied at home/school/work WHILE working on yourself and yet NO RESULTS. If you've never been in the situation, please don't just assume stuff. I've overcame obesity and i am now fit but guess how: no diet, no working out plans. Just living my life without thinking what i should or shouldn't do, doing what my heart needs and actually LIVING.

And I love food, and junk food, but I make sure not to eat when I'm bored or dehydrated, and listen to my fullness and hunger cues.

I can't say it's a choice because I've been trying to put on weight for years and I'm still around 60kg which is like 130 lbs but I feel the choice of food and lack of exercise currently in my life might lead to me being bigger in a way that's kinda out of control and unhealthy. I have been going between eating a lot of junk and eating almost nothing since 2018. I don't know what this kind of eating disorder is, worst part is I end up purging after eating certain things, it's like my body is rejecting food. And stress is keeping me thin, but I'm currently very unfit, which sad because I used to be an athlete (golf though😅) participating in national games in my country.

And I don’t even have control over the menu since, you know, NURSING HOME. But I chose more fruits and veggies and lean protein, bought canned tuna, fruits and veggies off of Amazon to supplement my diet on days when the main course was cheesy pasta or pizza, and also in many days I DO still eat the cheesy pasta AND the pizza, just less of it. 55 pounds down, 10 pounds to goal weight!

It reminds me of an episode of Secret Eaters (?) I saw where they took the person to the doctor, and the doctor confirmed there was nothing wrong with her metabolism. Like that's why they don't want to go to a doctor; they don't want confirmation that, actually, it is in their control.

It's how I knew I could lose the 125lbs I lost over two years, childhood photos. I was a frail skinny kid until I was a teenager, so I realized there's no reason to be a 307lb 38 year old when I was a rail thin "we think there's something wrong with him" beanpole at like 12. And now at 40 I weigh less and perform WAY better athletically than when I was an 18 year old high school senior. IIRC I was 200 when I graduated, I'm 180 or less today. I'm dedicated now, I'm so close it seems silly not to try, I'm working towards a goal weight of 153lbs (I'm 5'9" so relax, that's healthy range) because that would put me in a VERY exclusive human club: People who have doubled their bodyweight then lost 50% of their bodyweight. I'm like 25lbs away, EASY.

this. I was overweight as a child because of emotional eating and family - and did what you did. Kept it off for almost 2 decades. As an adult I had to lose about 30 lbs after the pandemic and it was HARD. I had to retrain myself again to be mindful, thoughtful and careful. It took me a year to lose that fat. If I didn’t make an effort, I would have stayed the same or continued to gain weight by mindlessly munching. It adds up.

Once I backed away some intense exercise and removed the foods that were harming me, the weight came off. It’s all figure-outable though.

I think part of it is because they don’t live in the same echo chambers as women. Like most other men aren’t going to be like YAS KING stay fat! They’re going to get bullied and not internalize it with a victim mentality but rather use it to fuel them to be better. Men don’t collect oppression points the way women do because they would be viewed as weak rather than empowered. Another reason could be because it’s harder for women to lose weight so they might get discouraged and throw up their hands before a bigger man would. It’s more socially acceptable to be a fat woman than a fat man because women can blame kids, hormones, their thyroid, etc etc, and men really only have themselves to blame. I mean all people really just have theirselves to blame but women tend to be louder and tend to take less accountability for their actions. This isn’t even some red pill bullshit it’s just my lil theory on it.

Reminds me of family guy: “I’m not fat, only fat women are fat!” In seriousness tho, I think because diet culture for years was more aggressive towards women and specifically instructed unhealthy habits (don’t eat and do cardio) to get as close to being underweight as you could 🙄 I think the rebellion was larger because the pressure was harder. They’re not wrong about certain aspects of “diet culture”, and being thin should not be someone barometer of whether or not they are healthy. Like all things tho, when people started pushing back they want too far the other way and aren’t acknowledging the much healthier lifestyle choices that exist that would probably result in them having a healthy weight… 🙊

@@katec4615 I think you make a good point about the whole yass queen mentality. I think the rise of feminism and social justice becoming a popular thing to brand yourself as online (I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing, I’d describe myself as a feminist) has created this mindset where thinness= adhering to beauty standards therefore being fat is seen as an act of rebellion against said standards, and if you’re pushing against that then you get praised and called beautiful online, when in reality these people aren’t going to support you when you’re struggling to walk up the stairs. Also I don’t think men receive any similar validation from other men so there’s no incentive. Like you said, they’re just told to ‘man up’. I’m overweight (54lb down so no longer obese woohoo) but I never really felt insecure growing up as a girl and I was lucky to have kind family who tried to encourage me to lose weight for my health rather than beauty. I think if I’d felt insecure about myself then I could have easily been taken in by the HAES mindset. I feel bad for the women falling for the bullshit, however the “influencers” pushing fat positive content have blood on their hands and it’s just so infuriating.

Because in 2021 I CHOSE to not be fat anymore, and I lost 125lbs and counting. I chose to no longer be 307lbs, I chose to work like crazy, and I chose my way to 180lbs. And now I CHOOSE to run 3-5 miles a day, I choose to lift everyday, I choose to eat great food, and not lose control with it. I CHOSE TO FINALLY BE A *GOOD SELF-PARENT TO MYSELF* and that made all the difference. Try this thought on: Would I want MY kid doing/eating/acting/behaving like I am? No?

though i don't have pcos i do have thyroid issues and just by diet i was able to kick off the synthetic hormones since my levels are back to the upper end of normal. once you find out what foods to avoid in order to prevent an inflammatory flare-up, your hormones have an easier time regulating. my condition also got caught pretty early and though the instinct of my first doctor was to put me on medication that made me gain 10 pounds (yes i am aware that probably doesn't sound like a lot, but as someone who's only 5'1 not only does the weight gain show on my body but also i can feel it on my bones) i needed to take accountability and realize the weight gain wasn't because of the medication directly, but because it increased my hunger hormones too and i fed into them instead of tracking calories. CICO will really help but also whole food diets as well! also best to avoid soy completely and moderate gluten and dairy as someone struggling with thyroid since these proteins from those foods look very similar to the thyroid hormone so your body gets inflamed as a result. best of luck dear though it sounds like you don't need it and are doing great

I would argue as a former addict that people need to be held accountable for becoming addicts not just recovering from it. The recovery rates for addicts as well as people with EDs is abysmal. I think it’s the lack of accountability. Regardless of our circumstances we made choices that put us where we end up. And we make choices to get ourselves out as well. Just my opinion. My life was fucked up. But I made decisions that led me to being an addict. And then I made decisions to overcome it. As long as people blame circumstances outside of themselves for their addictions or EDs they’re less likely to recover. They’ll fall back on “it’s not my fault”.

Seems to me there's different types. I've personally struggled with both the struggle to avoid eating, as well as the struggle to force myself to eat. Part of it is the headspace you're in, and part of it could genuinely be flawed interoception (the awareness of one's own body signals). With certain mental disorders, you can have overactive interoception, defective or just no signal at all etc. I guess ana isn't really one size fits all. It's easy to call it a restrictive disorder and call it a day, but really there's a lot that goes into it, and why someone acts and thinks the way they do.

And because it was mama telling me that, I believed it. I still struggle with food because I'm so used to it being my comfort. But that's still MY fault. I choose what I put in my mouth. I have PCOS and I take medication where weight gain is a side effect, but I've still lost weight despite those factors.

I definitely made a lot of those same excuses, like its genetic. Most of my family is obese, but I believe they are obese now due to bad habits, not genetics. I've seen almost all of the obese family members lose significant amounts of weight at some point in their life, and keep it off, from dieting and sticking to it. This year, I've lost 30 lbs in 6 months. I tell other women too trying to lose weight, you will feel disappointed at first. Its important to manage that expectation and let them know. After 1 or 2 weeks of dieting, I only lost like 1 pounds, and was already used to seeing my body fluctuate. It wasn't until about 2.5 months in that I really felt I was making progress, when I was 10lbs lighter than where I started. It is very important to tell people, you will feel disappointed at first. You need to stick with it. Consistency is key. I work from home, barely get any exercise, barely do 1000 steps a day, and still lost the weight. But even with exercise, I always say half-assing it is better than not assing it at all. Just do some exercise, even if its a "lazy" exercise. Consistency is more important than giving it 100% 100% of the time.

Former ana here. It's not the choice to eat food that anas struggle with, it's the choice to willingly gain weight and the choice to come to terms with whatever that extra weight actually means in your own head (like maybe it would bring on male attention that you don't want, etc. etc.). There's also a lowkey high (like kind of a buzz) that comes with not eating so you're choosing to stop that super chill feeling. You're also usually choosing to have a massive stomach ache if you eat because when you're eating extremely low calories or not eating at all, having food is a bit of a punch to the gut. You can have stomach pains and also feel extremely full very quickly which is also painful. So not eating gives you a pleasant buzz and you stay thin.

Also most Ana people are bulimic and don’t admit to it. They wouldn’t be so revered as thinspo if they admitted they over eat and vomit their food. Most people who say they’re anorexic or were are bulimic more than anything. They’re a combo of both but they’re mostly bulimic. The starving is glorified in the community but the eating and puking is not so almost never spoken of.

I can't really speak to binge-eating, but restricting-type eating disorders have an obsessive thinking and behaviour element. Yes, it's a choice to stop it, but it's a very hard choice that you have to keep making over and over again. By the time you reach a weight that is very low, you've usually been restricting things for QUITE some time. So, it's not the same as a choice like "what shirt am I going to wear today?" And you are correct, @JennRighter that the really restrictive (ana) is more unusual.

The overall goal needs to he consistency and making healthy choices a lifetime habit, not just to lose weight. Smaller side goals are awesome and do motivate you, but you have to realize this is a life sentence 😅

Im disabled. I have a long list of health problems. Gabapentin made me gain 20 pounds within TWO WEEKS after Ramsay Hunt Syndrome paralyzed half my face in 2022 (resolved now, thankfully). Being fat for the next year sucked. My arachnoiditis makes exercise suck. My hEDS also makes exercise suck. However, when I decided I was too fat in September of this year, I *chose* to do something about it. I started exercising daily with GWJ. I started lifting 5 pound weights. I put myself on a workout plan. After 45-odd days, I started tracking calories with Lose It! After 90 days, I was down 22 pounds. I took a 2 week exercise/refeed break, and my weight has stayed consistent. I could stop now and stay this weight, but I'm still shooting for 30 more pounds of fat loss. Will it suck? Yes. Am I worth it? YES!

It’s interesting to me that so many people have lost track of what “choice” means. That hard choices, difficult choices, choices we don’t like…ARE still choices. And we are still making those choices every day. Of course we tend to make the “easy” choices. That’s natural. But it’s not the same as not having a choice. Edit: I also find it sad how willing people are to place themselves in the role of a victim, a helpless bystander in their lives, rather than taking responsibility for their lives. I understand it, I used to be that way. It was psychologically easier. But over time it yielded only more pain and damage. Damage to my body, to my mental health, to my future. I’m working to correct it, and I will be for the rest of my life. But I can never recover what I lost while I was playing victim.

I agree with what you're saying. If I can push back just a little, I think it would be helpful for people who struggle to addiction to acknowledge that the main reason that healthier choices are hard to make involves their own brain chemistry: the neurotransmitters that direct us to seek instant comfort and pleasure. I'm not saying that addicts (like myself) are not responsible for their own choices. I'm just saying that if we acknowledged that, more often than not, we don't make choices using our conscious, rational minds and are instead using our "lizard brains" we stand a better chance of actually making those healthier choices. In other words, yes, these are choices, but they are not sensible choices. They are compulsive, unconscious choices and the first step to changing behavior is NOT to make some rational decision about what you will do differently the next time -- that is like staring at your car and saying "I am driving my car right now" , or perhaps a better example is to declare "I CHOOSE to not have high blood pressure" and being surprised when your blood pressure doesn't change. The real solution is to pay better attention to yourself all the time, and make tiny changes to your daily routine so that over time the lizard brain is making different, healthier choices that we want for ourselves.

Ex-anorexic here, 100% agree. One way or the other, it's a choice to get out of eating disorder. Of course you don't chose to have it, but once you are aware of your own mental state you can act on it. It is hard to step out of denial tho, i won't lie. I used to blame everything, my disability, depression, genetics, all of it. But with a strong will-power and dedication it works. I've been sticking to a program I made for myself for the first time. It's been 6 months of eating and exercising consistently and guess what.. I've gained weight :o It's hard to keep up, but we'll get there one step at time. For anyone struggling with ed (or anything really) : It's hard, but it's worth it ! And don't be afraid of failure, you'll encounter a lot trhoughout your healing journey but be humble and kind to yourself. We don't have to make it on the first try, it's okay to try again, and again. You will get better !

These people brainwashed me into thinking I can’t control my situation, they said BMI is fake and not accurate. I gained so much more weight because I was eating more than I was moving and burning. Getting my life back together slowly by first blocking ALL FAT INFLUENCERS, I have lost over 20 pounds and I’m so happy. I can’t wait to be the weight I used to be. I should have listened to my DOCTOR but being fat, depressed and vulnerable, I was so braiwashed into this loop 😖😖😖😖 But I am going to maintain my calorie deficit and workout to get back to the self i want to be.

If someone thinks they've got a thyroid problem, they should go to the doctor and get it tested. If it's not working as it should, you'll get medication that will let it work properly again and they'll lose a bunch of the extra weight they gained. That's how that works. An endocrinologist can confirm.

Seriously, what the hell are they talking about? Did they just browse some symptoms and self diagnose themselves or were they actually diagnosed by a doctor and just not treating it or do they not want to mention the treatable part because it makes the excuse for everything less credible? A doctor has to do blood work to determine if your thyroid is not making enough thyroid hormone. If so you might be sent to an endocrinologist though it's also within the scope of a primary care doctor, but either way they will give you a prescription for synthetic thyroid hormone (a pill you take once a day) and adjust the dose until the combo of the amount your thyroid makes and the amount you're adding with medication is a good amount. So you don't have low thyroid hormone anymore. All of the weight you already gained might not melt off, you might have to put a little work into it, but you won't continue to gain weight. At least not due to your thyroid.

Michelle, I just want to say thank you for talking openly about your history of binge eating, as well as your mental and physical health, in these videos. I've been a binge eater since childhood and have dealt with several mental health disorders since my early teens. I've always been a bit overweight, but over the past few years that has slid right into obesity. I've been working a lot on my mental health and recently came to terms with the fact that physical activity and nutrition are the next step in having a happier, more fulfilling life. I just recently started watching your videos and they came into my life at the perfect time, because it's always easy for me to make excuses: the medications I'm on make it harder to lose weight (so there's no point in trying); I have a family history of obesity (so it's genetic/inevitable); the binge eating is an addiction I've had since I was a child (so there's no way I could break it now). If I watched videos like yours that were made by someone who didn't have some of the same issues as me, I think I would write it off by saying that they didn't understand, that it must have been so much easier for them to get physically fit, and that they're just mocking people with different life circumstances. But you talking openly about your own journey, and particularly dealing with binge eating, has forced me not to write off what you're saying, listen to things that are tough to hear, and keep on track. It inspires me to keep going to have you as a frame of reference for someone who got through these struggles with hard work and good choices. So, thank you!

I live in Europe and I've never seen a menu listing calories, except maybe at mcdonalds or other American based fast food places. Of course, if you asked for specified calorie information the restaurant would have to provide it for you because of ingredient transparency and such. But otherwise? No calorie information on menus. Sure, there're lots of bigger people in Europe, too, but I have a feeling that the broad majority can roughly guess how many calories a meal has, or be at least able to tell that something is very high in calories and should thus be consumed in moderation. If you indulge, that's, well, your choice-which most fat Europeans won't deny. It's still a very good point you're making, though, but I think it's even more important to intuitively be aware of nutritional values/calories, which requires education, of course! It also puzzles me why a restaurant would have two separate menus, where only one is the obviously better choice. Why not just go with the lower-calorie version as the standard version, especially if it tastes the same. Feels so scammy; it's a shame.

If there is something on high calorie Menu that I like I’ll get it. Because overeating every now and then is not going to make you fat. The issue is that most (overweight) people overeat almost every day, which is why meals with a high calorie count at a restaurant can be an issue.

My family is VERY overweight - all of them - but my sister has BMI 40+ and her mouth is full of excuses as well :D I gained some weight and decided to do experiment for her. I managed to lose 80 pounds in 2,5 years with no exercise but with calorie deficit and guess what :D Of course it worked for me - I'm weird, it would never work for her! She won't even try!

I think a huge takeaway from this is "everybody has something going on". I deal with chronic illnesses and medications that double as appetite stimulants. I went from 100 lbs to 140 over a course of months. I had to re-evaluate my habits from when my metabolism worked overtime. I can't get away with all the junkfood and sedintary days like I used to. A lot of times, we were just forming unhealthy habits that we could get away with before a medication impacted our metabolism or hunger cues.

I 100% agree that weight/size is up to choice the majority of the time. I have a family member who is one of the few examples that doesn’t apply to this. She had pots (an auto immune disease) and had a tube in her stomach and literally could not eat anything for 2 years. She had to get all of her nutrition from her tube. She ended up gaining a lot of weight from this and she was so frustrated that she had absolutely no control over it. She was also in a wheelchair at the time and wasn’t able to get up and move very much. But believe me she tried! She did everything she could to lose weight but nothing worked. After the two ish years her body was able to tolerate some foods again, and was able to get her tube removed. She was able to walk a lot more and eat what made her body feel good and healthy. Her body would still reject some foods but she adjusted her diet accordingly. She lost most of the weight and feels wonderful! Seeing the (actual) loss of control of her body, but still working so hard to be healthy was truly inspiring for me!

His twin brother was 60lbs heavier than him and it caused so much friction between them. The 1st season of the podcast is him and his brother healing their relationship and the brothers relationship with food and his situation.

Thank you for acknowledging that medical and mental issues make it more difficult. That is validation most people don't get which makes it that much more difficult. They use their condition like a crutch because they feel misunderstood. I can only speak for myself, of course, but I believe that to be the general consensus. After changing almost everything about my lifestyle this last year and people are asking how I lost weight, I'm starting to realize how little people are actually willing to do to get there. They make excuses "Oh, I tried that" or "Oh, I could never do that". I felt that way too and it sucked. But now I know that it is almost 100% a choice about taking care of yourself.

When it comes to ED, it's better to seek help from a therapist. Lots of people try to fix it on their own only going from one ED to another and stay stuck for years. ED is a mental health issue. People with ED will also have BDD. So therapy is recommended. As for me, I restricted myself only to binge later. It's been a year since i went all in and my cravings have come down. I gained 20kg in 6months. Faced health issues but still contined to eat with the help of my therapist. My health improved over time. Now I have lost 4kg in two months without dieting or exercise. And i eat whatever i want to eat whenever i want to eat. ED is not curable but can be managed by removing the need to look a certain way in order to feel superior to others. Yeah, it's part of inferiority complex.

I was anorexic for ten years. I distinctly remember choosing weight loss over health. Right at the beginning, I decided weight loss meant more to me than health. Having said that, that was the only choice. Once I gave into that the anorexia completely took over. I got intense OCD and would have panic attacks if I missed the gym or ate. Mine was so tied to OCD, would you say someone with OCD chooses to compulsively turn the lights on and off 20 times? No, of course not. It’s a compulsion and that’s what anorexia was to me. Choosing recovery happened because in the end I had so many other things in my life worth living for, I decided to stop slowly killing myself. It was the hardest thing I’ve done. I did it for my kids. That’s a pretty powerful motivator. My body is wrecked though, hypothyroid from it and I got a crazy thing when I started eating again where literally my bowel forgot how to move and so I was fudged 🙃 Anyway fully recovered now and weight lifting and loving my body and food. Thyroid seems to be less delinquent too so maybe that’ll heal one day

Portion truly is everything, I learned this around 18. I had spent my entire life overweight (5’2 at 140lbs) when I moved out at 18 I lived off of junk. McDonald’s, pb&j, cup of noodles and lost more weight than I ever had before. Simply because I was constantly moving for work and eating small amounts all throughout the day. That’s when I realized wow I really can eat whatever I want and be thin. However those foods do not make you feel the best. Just stating I lost weight due to portion and moving more. Literally the definition of calories in calories out

Certain factors like high cortisol levels and hormone imbalances do make losing weight slower and more challenging but you can still lose weight if you push yourself enough and take care of your health. Also to some people food is literally like a drug they struggle to resist and they have to detox themselves and develop an iron will. If you haven’t struggled with binging it really does feel like your craving takes over because it’s a literally addiction. it’s hard when everyone is offering you that drug no matter where you go.

Good point. I would describe myself as having adrenal fatigue and it's noticeable when I try to do intense cardio 7 days a week and it results in rebound eating that's excessive (but not quite a binge). What I've found is walking the dog every day and doing strength training 4-5 days a week is perfect for me. Specifically I did a shred challenge which was manly strengthening exercise circuits . Just prior I was doing weights. No problems with either of those. The next challenge was a weightloss challenge which was at least 20 minutes of HIIT 6 days a week plus some strengthening for 10-20mins and by day 4, I was burning out again, extra hungry, mood swings and so on. Back on a predominantly strength program now and I'm good again. My belly fat has reduced. My body composition has changed for the better. My advice if you suspect excess cortisol, inappropriate cortisol secretion (high and low at the wrong times of day), estrogen/ progesterone balance problems, do a few easy walks a week but make your main intentional exercise strengthening. When you are in a better rhythm, then add running and HIIT if you want. A body builder was saying that they rarely run, their steady state cardio is easy cross trainer, swimming, treadmill/walking and easy cycling. The focus is on nutrition and strength training for them.

@@Raya-ir4tm I actually think the weight gain is a symptom in some cases. High cortisol levels for myself are a result of dysbiosis due to lots of antibiotics as a child. The worst thing was feeling so sick with episodic weight gain and thinking this is just normal for me. This is where a responsible evidence based medical system is a must. And I grew up exercising, in sport and eating fruit and vegetables with good protein. I think doctors asking where you are in the energy equation is really important. But all they used to do was say eat a Mediterranean diet and walk every day. Or " just lose weight". I understand the frustration with fat activism and their excuses but I do see the problem with those practising medicine. They are practicing prescribing drugs and most primary physicians have little understanding of the HPA axis, nutrition and female hormonal status specifically. And yet they can be incredibly arrogant, cruel and insulting. I've never been bigger than a US size 10 and have still found the conversations about weight to be overly brutal and not helpful.

Hi Michelle! I study neuroscience and I have boolimi@. Unfortunately some “choices” aren’t really rational or conscious, when your brain is already functioning bad. As a person who has seen how EDs are treated, I think people always forget it’s a real disease that impairs your ability to make a choice cause it kills the neurons, especially if related with anxiety disorders or chronic pain. I think behavioral therapy is the best way to learn how to identify your emotions and when the ED is trying to destroy you through your brain. But the choice part I agree with is the one some other commenters suggested: choose to get help, don’t give up. There’s hope for everyone. Don’t identify yourself with the disease. At least this is what helps me against the binging/purging cycle. Even knowing how the ED is going to impact my health when I’ll be alone is a good motivator. It’s really complex

Now I still binge and have gained 30lbs over the past 3 months, but I've been working out w/KZbin videos. I think about how easy it would be to just do it again, but I also think of the condition of my teeth and the wear and tear on my throat and that keeps me from even stepping into the bathroom to fight. I didn't see a shrink, I just decided to stop one day. It took 2 tries and then.. like I said, I haven't purged in 5yrs!

My parents always fed me and my siblings healthy meals, limited junk food, and encouraged us to be active. About a year ago when I got my own car and had more spending money, I would constantly binge on fast food, candy, and chips. I am a rather tall woman at 5’10 so the bit of weight I gained didn’t show much, but I felt mentally and physically exhausted all the time. This past summer I started eating more moderately and going to the gym, and I feel amazing. So yes, the way your parents raised you does have an impact, but as an adult it is YOU who makes the choices and you are the one to blame.

Hi Michelle, I can only speak from the POV of someone who has had ED's including Binging with bulimia and anorexia. I was always underweight, sometimes dangerously so. In a lot of ways, yes, I made choices. But as people with Anorexia know, its a disorder that actually changes you in more ways than just your physical appearance. You make choices you would not normally make if you weren't mentally ill, and you don't have a whole lot of control over it, even though the whole disorder is about control. Its extremely hard to explain, because again, yes we are making choices... but regardless of which choice we make we don't win. Like for example, if I chose not to eat that day, I am choosing to kill myself slowly, but if I DID eat that day then I am choosing to suffer immense mental bashing, torture and guilt/shame. And the bulimia aspect comes in where I do make the choice to throw up, but if I didn't choose to throw up my Ana is again going to make me suffer even more with extreme anxiety and panic of gaining weight. The best way I can put it is that having Anorexia (at least for me) was like having a brain that is DEAD SET on your own self destruction and is constantly trying to kill you. While I was at my worst it was LITERALLY like my brain was a separate entity that just LOATHED me and made it its life mission to torture me until I killed myself either by starving/throwing up, or by my own means to make the pain stop.

and by the way, even though my ED doesn't present itself physically anymore and I do not use symptoms to control my weight, it comes out a lot in my art and daily life in forms of harsh criticism. This is how I know that ED's are not entirely about food at the end of the day, because I still struggle with control and being too hard on myself when I don't have to be. I'm super perfectionistic on my art works and if I don't get something right, I still bash myself the same way I used to when I ate too much food way back when. My Ana still lives with me, and that's ok because its not killing me anymore and I can live normally with minor struggles from time to time.

This! I know I technically made the choice as a severe anorexic… but I was also considered mentally disabled due to the severity. It impacts your thinking to the point where you’re extremely paranoid, illogical, and delusional. I was convinced that the doctors were putting calories in my water when I was hospitalized and refused to drink anything until I was forced into tube feeding. So i think it’s a choice to an extent, if that makes sense. I knew I was making a choice, until I didn’t. I still look back and think about how I refused to eat after many seizures, or even my heart attack occurred. I was so sick that I genuinely thought I’d die if I ate food. Obviously not everyone’s the same, but eating disorders aren’t a choice, it’s disordered eating that is.

When I stick to a program and consistently eat healthier and exercise regularly, I feel like I am more stable and those emotions/impulses don't affect me as much, so it's easier to choose to not starve or binge.

I did gain weight as an adult, due to MY choices. But I chose not to stay that way and lost over 55lbs. I'm in the gym and watch my calories. It can be done.

I do think it is a choice to not tackle the root problem of any ED, but I can also sympathize with the cycle people are stuck in.
