Binge eating

You definitely shouldn't reset your counter. This has nothing to do with nofap. It's a separate issue.

Could you explain a bit more about what you mean by eating disorder? So far, nothing in your post sounds like an eating disorder. So I'm a bit confused.

 

Also, please don't think of sugar as evil. Your body needs sugar. The fact that some bread you eat contains sugar is completely fine. You should not be aiming for zero sugar in your diet. It's processed sugar that you should limit, but things like fruit contain a lot of natural sugar, and that stuff is important. It's important to have a well-balanced diet, not to cut one thing out completely as if it's evil.

 

What do you consider excessive? Give me an idea of what you eat on a day that you think you're eating excessively.

 

Also, feeling down and guilty about something doesn't mean you've relapsed. If you haven't used PMO, you haven't relapsed. There are other things in life to feel guilty or convicted about.

 

Well, first off, this is not an eating disorder. I'm pretty familiar with eating disorders, and this is not what is meant by "binging." Most people who suffer from bulimia and binging make themselves sick, either by throwing up or with laxatives, or starve themselves for several days (like literally eating nothing, or like a couple crackers or a piece of bread or something) and then go on a crazy eating binge, where they are eating a ton of food in one day. And then start the process over again.

It does not sound to me at all like you have an eating disorder, so unless you are diagnosed with one, I would recommend to stop calling it that.

You are just a normal person who eats some unhealthy things sometimes, or maybe has a slight tendency to overeat. That's not an eating disorder.

As far as feeling guilty, I'm not sure exactly what to advise about that. It's good to eat healthy, but it's also not healthy to feel so severely guilty anytime you eat a couple of cookies. I would say to cut yourself some slack. As long as your health is not suffering, you can enjoy a couple cookies now and then.

 

You are right @Castielle. I hope this thread title will be changed to "Eating issues". This is not Binge Eating Disorder.

 

I wouldn't worry about it so much. Not everyone who succeeds with nofap has a strict diet.
