Why people with eating disorders (for example me: anorexia nervosa) keep constantly watching mukbangs and eating videos?

And me myself do that and I've heard a great amount of people who r dealing with ed does that and it's so weird

[Guy13]

Wow, that’s way above my pay grade. It sounds like someone in the counseling or medical field could field that question much better. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wishing you were able to eat as much

[Asker]

Eh... That hits hard but it's true

[CloudMassacre]

I’m kindof the same. I’m not anorexic, but I’ve been having anxiety/ eating problems for about two years, so I can partly understand the struggles of trying to eat better and falling short

[Asker]

Yes i understand you.. Im sorry you're going through this..

[CloudMassacre]

I just wish it wasn’t exhausting mostly. Sitting there at 10:30pm trying to nibble something down so you ate SOMETHING that day. Then doing well for a few days, getting some good calories in, and then another dip setting back your progress 🥲

[Asker]

Yeah i understand u..

I'm sure the two are not intertwined
