Why I Binge Eat
My name is He Gu, and I have a mental illness. I'm deeply anxious about my looks and how attractive I am. I believe girls have to be thin to be loved by the world, so I started starving myself to lose weight. Then one day, I finally couldn't take it anymore and began binge eating uncontrollably. Later, I met many people just like me, and before I knew it, I had stumbled into a world of... people with mental illnesses.

I read it in high school, and now I'm going to study for a Ph. D. I had bulimia at the time, but I wasn't that anxious. But as soon as I started my undergraduate degree and came into contact with society, I realized that I had to lose weight when my evaluation of girls was based on their appearance. The process of regaining weight, losing weight, regaining weight, and losing weight has been a cycle. The emotion that still remains is the helplessness that weight control is almost a lifelong issue. There is also the fact that even if a person does not believe that weight is far less important than life, he still has to confront the systemic structural discrimination against girls' obesity in society at all times. I am very grateful to be able to post this article again, but I don't think the details of cash and Tieba need to be modified too much. This was the social imprint of the time. And, thank you so much for creating this article.
Healthy weight loss is actually very good, but many people pursue losing weight quickly, and the process is unhealthy. Most of the time, they feel that they are not loved and lack love. If I lose weight and look better, someone will love me. I think so.
Finished with flowers ~ well written 😳
Oh my gosh, I read my wife's article about seven or eight years ago. At that time, it was called "The Snake Man Falles in Love with Me." I couldn't remember the title of the book. Today, when I found my wife's column, I discovered that the previous one was locked. The story about bulimia in this book had a great impact on me. At that time, I was still studying and fell into the painful whirlpool of long-term bulimia. And He Yi's story gave me a lot of comfort. On the one hand, He Yi felt like a friend who was going through the same low point in life as me, accompanying me to accept my bad side. On the other hand, He Yi also mentioned in the comment section of the book that he had overcome an eating disorder (I don't know if he remembered correctly). This inspired me for a long time and also reminded me not to fall into the trap of CT. After such a long time, I feel very emotional when I look back. I didn't lose weight successfully, haha, but my thoughts about body and appearance anxiety, marriage, and female consciousness seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes. I was finally able to accept myself, and finally stopped seeing myself as an object to be beautiful and to please others. Seven or eight years have passed, and seeing my wife still updating and writing articles in the column is like seeing an old friend (even though I have never met him) still making strides forward. It feels so good. ❤️
This kind of psychology of overeating is described so deliciously that you can relate to it.
I remember this book should be from 2017 or 2018... It was a pity that it was locked. At that time, I still remembered the first gluttony story. I didn't expect that Dafa would publish this story again! When I first read it, I felt it was very complicated. There were a lot of weird aesthetics, an extreme pursuit of body shape, and a desire to swallow food... There were so many that it was difficult to evaluate, let alone right or wrong. But when I finally read Why and walked out, bang, the whole world became bright. It's more like a shock that cannot be described in words. The topic of weight loss is a high-frequency topic in life, especially for women, and it is really difficult to avoid it. I have never cared about body shape before, in a sense, it is a physique that does not make me fat. But I got sick a few years ago, and when I took medicine later, my hormone levels may have changed. My whole body became bloated and my face became round. At that time, I was in a very depressed state, and everyone said that I needed to be at peace with myself, but... It was not easy. Sometimes I look at the flesh on my body and want to dig it out. In a sense, I was lucky. My friends all encouraged me to exercise and lose weight. In addition, I still remembered how this book touched me, so I subconsciously avoided dieting. I went to the gym and found a reliable personal trainer. I gritted my teeth and lost the weight back in half a year. I was even thinner than when I was at my thinnest. Should you be happy? I have no idea. Even though it has been a year since I canceled my weight loss plan, now, whenever I see a food in the supermarket, I will look at the ingredient list before looking at the expiration date. When eating, I don't need an APP to calculate my weight, I can just calculate the calories in my mind... Weight loss has penetrated into every aspect of my life and completely changed me. I don't dare to get fat, not at all. If I had to talk about any changes before and after losing weight, I think it might be "It turns out that when I make up my mind to do something, I can really succeed." But does losing weight make me feel better? Very complicated. As a woman, the "object" being stared at, people always find faults in a hundred ways. Body shape, appearance, words and deeds... There are always shortcomings when looking with a magnifying glass. So I envy and admire women who can break out of this "circle". Having said that, I still remember that when I first read this book, I was a little curious and felt that some of the author's descriptions were too exaggerated. But when I really gained weight and went through the process of trying to lose weight, when I think back on it, I feel that it was not an exaggeration at all. I particularly like the description of Hongli and other veteran figures in the book. Their respective experiences, trends, and endings gave me a sense of documentary literature. It comes from life and is higher than life after artistic processing. I really like this book, and I was even more surprised when I read it and published the content again. It really touched me so much that I can't express it in words. I send you a torpedo. I hope the author will continue to create, come on!
Author, Baby, write these foods that you wrote for me. I'm hungry.
So interesting! Although the article was written nine years ago, it is not outdated at all, because even today's girls are still troubled by beauty, ugliness, fatness and thinness. Although girls are confident and try hard to tell themselves that health is beauty, the invisible constraints of society always exist on the road to growth.
Bai's last few words are quite right.
I remember a long time ago that I watched the story about a man suffering from a febrile disease who fell in love with me. After reading the gluttony chapter, I was completely shocked. I didn't expect that there is such a thing as vomiting in the world, and it was written so realistically. Recently, I was looking for a review and found out that it was locked. Fortunately, my wife took it apart and posted it again🎉
