in Food and Nutrition
I have an ED so I starve and bubge when i'm stressed or sad. Which leads to weight changes. Super tmi and no one here is a therapist. But maybe someone here has tips on how to manage food/calories and stress about food?? Thank you!

    Therapy is really the only way. Unless you deal with the root of the problem it will always be an issue. Good luck on your journey :)

    People have such different triggers. You really do need to work out what your triggers are and how you can respond differently to them with a licensed therapist. Please take care of yourself!

    When I was younger, like 16 to 20, I would starve myself to stay skinny, I was about 100-106lbs then. I just didn't know better. Then I got married and stopped caring of what I ate and got fat. Anyways, I took nutrition class and learned how I can lose weight in a healthy way and not punishing myself for it.
    I think knowing and learning things truly helped me out. Having the knowledge is impowering.
    You might need to talk to a therapist about this issue. Also, maybe talk to a dietician for advice.
    Admitting you have ED is a good start.
    Best of luck.
