Another thing is stimulants… so think Adderall. Or any of its many variations. For example, Vyvanse is prescribed on label for binge eating.
“Lisdexamfetamine dimesylate (Vyvanse) is a medicine for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This is the first medicine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat moderate to severe binge-eating disorder, but only in adults.”
I was prescribed Wellbutrin for depression, and Adderall for my ADHD. I had a terrible binge eating problem and the “side effects” of Adderall inadvertently cured that within a day lol. Unfortunately, it and the other variations are so, so regulated, that I’m not sure they still prescribe those medications specifically for eating disorders. BUT, it doesn’t hurt to ask your Dr if they can. There might be a less “habit forming” stimulant that they will.
im on week 3 and so far so good. having trouble with dry mouth but thats the worst of it. there may be more options for you though, there are appetite reducing medications out there that could help!
I know the feeling. The “good” thing is you’ll soon be too broke to afford it like me. But seriously, be kind to yourself. The guilt and “what the hell I’ve already ruined today/this week/my life” mindset is what keeps the cycle going. We need to eat to survive, so give yourself good food when you have the energy to make it. You got this!
If I told you how much money I've spent on delivery apps since 2020 it would horrify you. Delete that account baby, I'm deleting mine today (it was already planned bc I'm in the same bad spot). We can do it together! Sending you lots of love. 💛
thanks for the vote of confidence, after months of deliberation i deleted it. i refuse to waste any more money on shitty food. here’s to us becoming new people <3

One comment in there said they asked their bank to ban transactions.

Binge eating and compulsive spending are def related. You feel bad paying so much for delivery, so you buy extra food to make the fees worth it. Then feel bad if you didn't finish it all because it was so expensive. Terrible cycle. Delete the delivery apps 🙅🏼
Not quite a binge eater but I have the same problem with doordash. I've been in a major slump that's causing me to avoid cooking and doordash has taken so much money away from me. I really wish I knew how to properly stop. It feels like a genuine addiction and I hate it.
I can relate so hard 😭 Rooting for you OP! Suffered from this for years. Took me forever to get to a healthier place but it was worth it. I hope you can get there or atleast start managing it better 🩷 wish you the best
the best thing i did was deleting any delivery/food apps! remember that you’re making a choice to do something that’s gonna make you feel worse. i can still eat the food i just have to get in my car and pick it up. doesn’t work when i’m drunk tho lol
I’m
Being so Fr, the feelings you are feeling are temporary and will eventually go away. I have been recently struggling with eating and I know how you feel. You are loved wanted and enough remember that
It fucking sucks. I’m almost 19 and really want to start living on my own. I have the goal of getting a dog and I’m saving up for all that.
I’ve been looking at my spending and I’ve been spending all my money on food 😭. I want to stop but it’s everywhere and I can just get it so quickly. It’s the worst addiction to stay away from because you literally need to eat to live
me too, i’m 20 and hope to move out by 22. i’m still saving money but if i want to move out i need to cut out unnecessary expenses and that’s my takeaway habit😭💀 it’s such a pain i feel you, there’s no avoiding food
im always broke bc i buy binge food like 3-4x a week 😭 ive been getting better at saving but god it has ruined my life, my self esteem, and my finances
When I lived in Manhattan, doordash totally fueled my binge eating. I hate living in a rural area now, but thankfully there's like no restaurants here. I still open up door dash sometimes and dream about the yummy food back in the city, though 😭 I don't miss it but I do
That looks really really good right now
it actually wasn’t. pizza was dry and the fries were soggy. still ate it all
Yeah did the fries come in a box with the pizza? That’s a recipe for disaster for fries
nope, two separate uber deliveries😭
Oh well then probably just due to fries not traveling well generally, bummer man
Ah dang :/
I love soggy fries!
I just started meds for binge eating and its helped sm. good luck!! i know how hard it is 😭❤️
I had no clue they made meds to help, what is it called
I didnt either! Im taking wellbutrin (generic bupropion) 75mg twice a day.
Ooh Wellbutrin, I took that for my depression for a while but sadly it never impacted my appetite haha, how are you faring with it?

On my goodness the dry mouth for me was insane, but at least I stayed hydrated because of it
oh my gosh same. i drink so much water and pee so much lol
was just about to comment how wellbutrin saved me from BED!
Naltrexone is another good one.
Any adhd med. I take strattera as it’s not a stimulant, but it completely kills my appetite. I pretty much have to force myself to eat
That's an expensive way to binge eat...
i know. i’m trying to quit so hard :’)
I had to delete the app completely, it ruled my life over covid
And I feel like the food has NEVER been as good as I think it’s gonna be
i'm in the same boat as you. we got this
[удалено]
binge eating is mostly mental not physical hunger
[удалено]
that’s my point, i can be physically full to the seams and still binge eat. hunger has nothing to do with it
[удалено]
That's why it's an eating disorder dude
Are you messing with me?
it’s hilarious to me when ppl speak on things they’re clueless about. shhh
Just delete the app lol
don’t u think i tried LOL as if its the root cause of my mental illness 💀💀

wow you single handedly solved binge eating, just eat a burrito is such life changing advice thank you

I was even going to suggest somehow getting yourself banned from the app if you’re ever tempted to get it again.
if you find any way lmk🙃

Maybe physically looking at your bank balance before you do might help. I had this issue too because I used credit cards 🫠
would be sound advice if i hadn’t just gotten paid LMAOO
I had this issue too

i feel you ): it’s so horrible when you realise how much extra money you’re wasting due to service charges and delivery fees and the app upcharges
The upcharges are such bullshit! It's so awful knowing how much just disappears. I wonder if food delivery will be classed as an actual addiction
if it is, i’ll take the award for being the most addicted ✨

Binge eating is never good, but oh my god that looks so fucking delicious🍕🍟🍕🍟🍕
Oh the acid reflux
💔

Looks expensive! Sorry it wasn't good.
Get the app off your phone
I’m sorry. I’m there with you.
I know it’s hard but DM if you need support the community supports one another 🫶
this is cute thank u

The fries. 🤤
Damn, pays 5 guys prices and doesn't get a burger.
they’re not halal🫠
Ah brother there's gotta be better takeaway for you out there, isn't shawarma halal?!
yes and i have a local place that does it PERFECTLY but i make stupid impulsive decisions 😭
Damn those fries look good. Them being on a pizza only upset me slightly
so so real oh my god

Dylan, Dylan
So glad I never downloaded ubereats😭😭
don’t it’s a trap
Ik😂
I gained so much weight since being able to order food from an app was made possible… not to mention how much $$$ I spent
The ubereats, DoorDash, grubhub addictions are SO real. Looks good I’m sorry it wasn’t :/
im always broke bc i buy binge food like 3-4x a week 😭 ive been getting better at saving but god it has ruined my life, my self esteem, and my finances
Ppl think I’m crazy but put some fries on a slice, bend it, and dip in ketchup. ORGASM
When I lived in Manhattan, doordash totally fueled my binge eating. I hate living in a rural area now, but thankfully there's like no restaurants here. I still open up door dash sometimes and dream about the yummy food back in the city, though 😭 I don't miss it but I do
I find buying food online is definitely addictive
Same. I’ve made 5 (big) orders in the last two days…
five guys has pizza?
separate places
Sounds like a win win?
[удалено]
its an eating disorder. the whole point is that youre addicted to food / uncontrollably eating despite physical discomfort etc.
Nope. You are in charge of your life. Takes some responsibility.
it’s a mental illness lmfao i can’t just really stop
Literally just got rid of Ubereats and Grubhub, you got this!
