Struggling with Body Image and Eating Habits

was wondering if any of you guys feel like this as well. to be brief, i have been in a rocky relationship with my confidence and weight. i used to not have issues with my body image but now with my ed i have very low self esteem. i tend to overeat/snack to overcompensate for not eating. at times i feel like i have to choose between a nice body and food. (not saying that eating more makes you bad looking, just saying that is how i personally see myself) wanted to know if you guys feel the same :/

I understand this completely. I don’t eat for days and then overeat and feel bad about myself. It is like a choice of feeling better about yourself or feeding yourself. And the thing that sucks is that once you are the weight you wanted to be you continue to starve yourself to keep it or lose even more weight. Its like youre never happy with yourself and always want more.

I completely get that, i will go a whole day without eating and then when i have time to let the hunger get to me, i either eat too much or snack to make the hunger go away and to keep my food intake low
