Introducing Me

Hi everyone!
My name is Ariel. I go by Ari.
I am 21 years old and I live in Massachusetts
I suffer from a BED. (Binge Eating Disorder).
I can eat and eat all day to the point where I am stuffed but still continue to eat.
I believe this is because I used to restrict myself, so my survival instincts kicked in, and lost all stomach-to-brain connection.
From now on the primal part of my brain just wants to eat all the time. It is exhausting.
I am right now in recovery, relapsing from time to time.
Relapsing meaning that I binge every so often.
I am working to recover that stomach-to-brain connection, and resist the urges to binge.
Think of it like this, I do not get urges to smoke cigarettes like someone who has a habit of smoking cigarettes, I just don't have that urge.
But I do get urges to eat uncontrollable amounts, if we can dismiss the urge and get rid of it for good, we will no longer have this urge which leads to binging.
We can do this together.
I believe in myself and I believe in you.
Here is a picture of me. And if you want to follow my journey you can follow my instagram to watch my recovery!
