Hi
I have similar experienc. I am 40 now and still struggle. I have found that as I've gotten older that I am more aware of eating healthy. Most importantly that I am aware of when I am doing this.
It sounds as if you are aware of when doing and when. This is great to hear. That is the first hurdle I think. Also sounds like you are doing thought challenging.
Have you heard of (a former of though challenging. Found it very helpful, espically as to why I was binge eating. Got to the main negative thought that was the driving force behind the action.
DOWNWARD ARROW FOR FINDING CORE BELIEF
Ex -why am I Bing eating
"What does this mean about me"
then challenge the though.
How true is the thought?
Is it a true though or one that I have said so may times that it feels/has become true?
Is this thoughthelpful?
What else might explain this though?
Is there another way to look at this thought?
Are my judgements based on feelings rather than fact?
DOWNWARD ARROW FOR FINDING CORE FEAR
"What is the worst thing that could happen"
Write down the core fear then next to it put down the % chance of it actually happening.
Mindspot in case you are interested.
These 2 exercises work really good. This is just a rough Guide. If helpfully to you you could google it.
I learned this technique through an online course I did through the mindspot. Mental health support.I found it to be very educational and helpful.
Have you considered a mindfulness class, meditation or even yoga. The mindfulness was recommended as a former of helping to deal with my anxiety.
I hope thatyour week is better. Good for you to having a job even while suffering. It sounds hard but shows determination in you to live your life.
This is encouraging to me.
Wishing you all the best.
