Hi there, I’m currently 195 and hoping to lose 20 lbs in a sustainable way. I’m very active and love exercising (running, spin, strength, etc), but struggle with binge eating disorder that makes it very difficult to manage what I’m eating. I’ve done OA to the “f*** it” diet and right now I’m doing therapy just to process the major yo-yo’ing and how I can both accept where I am right now but also challenge myself to lose weight in a healthy way. I’m very much looking for a community of friends/accountability buddies to keep me honest and consistent with tracking and staying positive. I can’t figure out how to add friends, so anyone interested please feel free to add me! 😊

    I'm a terrible feed friend but do enjoy interacting here on the forums.

    The latest episode of Half Size Me had the host and an author, both of whom have recovered from BED.

    https://www.halfsizeme.com/hsm604/

    In episode 604 of The Half Size Me™ Show, Heather talks with Dr. Amy Johnson (host of the Changeable podcast) about how the mind works and how understanding your mind can be a game-changer for you. Plus, they chat about

    — how your brain and your thought processes affect the goals you set
    — how your mind spins stories (and what to do about it!)
    — what things to watch out for
    — and more!

    Dr. Amy Johnson is psychologist, podcast host, and best-selling author. You can learn more about her work on her website.
