Here’s a tip for people with eating disorders:
This is a thing I do that helps me a lot to fight my eating disorder (i am diagnosed with Binge Eating, although this method could work with bulimia too, and even anorexia).
I draw my brain in a notebook (the brain –in my case- is what causes my urges to binge) and I give it a name. It’s called Hipus. I give it an attitude, a personality, even an appearance.
Hipus is not me. Is part of my subcortex which is what creates my urges to eat big amounts of food. Hipus is an irrational, it’s impulsive, it’s obsessive. But he loves me, and I love him because he keeps me alive.
Every time Hipus “wakes” and brings to me those urges to eat, I go and tell him to shut up. I literally go and write in the blank
