Is it normal for someone with binge eating disorder to be food repulsed?
Hey there y'all. Is it normal for folks with binge eating disorder (BED) to have a complete lack of appetite, and actually repulsed completely by food? Well, for the most part. I developed BED thanks to growing up being literally starved by my parents, so whenever I have access to food, I binge the fuck outta it until I puke (not intentionally like bulimics, like my body forces me to). Ofc naturally, nowadays I have access to food often and I hoard it.
But here's the catch - I hate eating so much. Nothing has flavor to me anymore, and all I want to do is drink water. Honestly I kinda miss whenever I had an bulimic stage for about a year. At least then I was eating for the flavor + anxiety of starvation, but felt extremely guilty and self conscious to force myself to vomit. BED's a 'less fun' form of eating disorder, I have the same guilt. I just can't do anything about it.
