I dont know how much it will help, but you could try to find some passion, other than food, in order to occupy your mind with it. There are lots of things that might fascinate you! Anything science related. Of course it is a little weird to try to find a passion to serve as a distraction, without some other utilitarian context (like if someone is interested in.. Idk, physics, because they know it will be usefull for one project of theirs) but a good starting point, i think, would be Art and philosophy!

There is merit to the general idea. Any time you quit a habit, it's good to swap it with something else.

OP is bed bound, so the options are limited. But now would be a good time to throw yourself into hobbies or even pick up new ones.

If I didn't have so many health problems, I wouldn't be doing this.
I wanted to reach 1000lbs and I was close, but the last time I ran out of air, my legs were about to explode from so much fluid retention, my blood pressure is uncontrollable and at this rate I'm going to die before I reach 1000lbs.
Things were not good. My husband touched my leg and I was dying of pain.
The idea of ​​walking again and leaving my house is my motivation for now.


I imagine that you had to consider a lot of feelings in making this decision, but, I hope you have positive people and a great network of emotional support to bolster you and help achieve whatever goals you’ve set for yourself.

Hell yeah good for you, I imagine the whiplash will be intense from going from intentionally gaining weight to suddenly losing it. But once you start to get into a system in should only get easier with time. Good luck with your weight loss journey, and hopefully you'll be up and mobile soon enough!

God, I didn't think my food addiction was that big.
I have a lot of anxiety and I can't wait to eat delicious things.
My husband is inflexible about my diet, but I already cheated, I have my nurse and my niece.
Yesterday I asked my nurse to let me have a hamburger and then a chocolate cake. Today I asked my niece to bring me fried chicken with potatoes and 5 bars of chocolate.
The problem is that my husband doesn't know this and if he finds out my nurse could have problems.
The truth is I'm starving and I have a serious anxiety problem. My nurse didn't do things voluntarily, I basically ordered her to do them.
I broke my diet but it was necessary to calm down a little.

The struggle is real. I don't think anyone here will think less of you for being weak. But overcoming food addictions is more than just willpower.

I can't force you to be honest with your husband about your struggles, but we both know you need to be honest with him.

Do you have any additional support besides your husband? Are you familiar with the resources in your area?

I don't know what country you are in, but there are helplines, support groups, one-on-one help from experts, etc. I'd look into it.

I am undergoing treatment and they even gave me medication to control anxiety and I also resumed physical therapy. Eating secretly is difficult in bed, but when I can eat something delicious I do it.
My niece is going to bring me 2 triple hamburgers this afternoon.
I know I shouldn't eat those things but how do I resist the temptation? Anyway, I'm eating less than before and I'm going to lose some weight.

Okay, love. Just don't sabatoge yourself. And don't put your niece in a situation she doesn't need to be in - like thinking it's her fault when something happens or your husband inevitably finds out.

Because he will.

I am not shaming you for your addictions, but we both know your niece deserves better.

My diet is a total failure. I binge eat secretly from my husband and ultimately he knows it because the scale doesn't lie.
My nurse was condemned to fight with me because I didn't give me food and with my husband for providing it.
My husband is tired of dealing with me and decided to leave everything in my hands.
When I want to eat no one tells me anything. Now the diet is in my hands.
This is a disaster. I start crying while binge eating, but I can't stop ordering fast food and swallowing like a pig.
My physical therapist came to my house and I was eating hamburgers. The look on that guy's face was atrocious and I imagine he only thought "I get paid to do my job and keep my schedule."
I feel like no one helps me and they left me alone to my own devices, but I don't make the slightest effort either and I can't help it either, because the desire to eat is so strong that I end up eating everything on my table.
