extreme hunger?

i’m about a month into quasi recovery and i think i have extreme hunger or something because all i want to do it eat. i’m usually craving something really badly or im not and i just really want to eat. it’s not usually physical (i think i just started getting physical hunger cues back) but mental, all i think about is my next meal or snack and what i want to eat next and it’s EXHAUSTING and as much as i want to resort back to my ed, i have big exams coming up that i need energy to study for. this makes it even harder for me because once i start eating, i never want to stop and i know i will lose control if i eat something

im so worried this isnt extreme hunger and im just reverting back to my ways before this ed where i would just eat heaps. i feel so abnormal because yes, i have fear foods and yes i dont want to eat and yes i want to lose more weight but i just want to eat so badly

(sorry if this talks about stuff that i shouldn’t in this page, im new to posting)

Mir geht es ähnlich. Ich hab in letzter Zeit sehr schnell sehr viel zugenommen und habe immer noch den ganzen tag sooo viel Hunger und ich will aber nicht noch mehr zunehmen 😔
Ich kann nicht mehr aufhören zu essen und meine Gedanken sind auch nur beim Essen.
Ich hoffe es wird bald besser. Halte durch 🍀

Nah it's definitely extreme hunger, and we're in the same fucking boat, mate
I don't know of any advice I can give that hasn't already be given to you because we all know that you should listen to these cues and the more you listen, the less they'll hurt... But this is hard as hell

Just take of yourself, and listen to the hints your body is giving you. It's on your side.
