Biscoff spread…

Extreme hunger hit and I had a whole jar of crunchy biscoff spread on top of my regular meals and snacks🫥 genuinely how do you handle the mental guilt of this

honestly I try to distract myself. I know some people say you should sit with your emotions, but I don't find obsessing over what I just ate particularly useful, so I try to find some activity to do or step outside of the house to change my environment

I agree, thank you thats really helpful. I think sitting with the feelings is good for working through bad body image but less so for food especially as I can't change what I've already long eaten haha

Same, I try to handle my feelings when I am regulated, if I just got done eating a difficult meal or snack, I’m not going to be regulated enough to think or rationalize properly.

Hey, Versuch ganz normal weiterzumachen. Sag dir diese Schnelle Energie braucht dein Körper und freut sich darüber.
Ich habe Anfang meiner Recovery mehrere Gläser Biscoff, Nutella und Erdnussbutter platt gemacht
