I always feel guilty after eating foods, what should I do?

[Anonymous]

I was thick, and people called me fat. If that long time nit see me, they often said
“Wow, you are so fat”.
And that makes me insecure.
And i did a diet program until I became thin I lost more than 30lbs. And people started calling me too thin, yeah because my clothes size from L to XS/S now. But I always feel guilty about the foods i consume. Sometimes i feel like to enjoy the foods, eat cakes, eat something good, but i already feel guilty and feel like throwing up the food I ate every time i eat something. Even with normal portions (500-600 calories), i only eat once a day. l and get some protein shakes.

What should i do?

Oh girl, I'm really sorry you've been dealing with that. It sucks when people make comments about your body, especially when you're just trying to be healthy. That kind of stuff can really mess with your head and how you feel about food.

I get that feeling guilty after eating is really common when you've struggled with your weight or body image in the past. But it's so important not to let that guilt control your life or your relationship with food. Eating should be an enjoyable, normal part of taking care of yourself, not something that causes you stress and anxiety.

My advice would be to try and be a little kinder and more patient with yourself. Don't be so hard on yourself for wanting to enjoy a treat or a good meal. As long as you're eating in moderation and listening to your body's needs, there's nothing wrong with that.

Maybe try to focus less on the number on the scale or the size of your clothes, and more on how you feel physically and mentally. Are you getting the nutrition you need? Do you have energy throughout the day? Are you taking care of your mental health too? Those are the things that really matter.

It might also help to talk to a professional, like a therapist or a nutritionist who specializes in disordered eating. They can help you develop a healthier mindset around food and your body. You deserve to feel confident and comfortable in your own skin, girl.

In the meantime, try to be patient with yourself. Slow, sustainable changes are better than restrictive diets that leave you feeling guilty. Enjoy your food, savor the flavors, and don't punish yourself. You got this!

I think maybe the best thing to do is to become knowledgeable about what it takes to gain fat & how much.

For instance, I track my calories very well because I weigh out all of my foods. This has allowed my to get very very accurate with what my averaged TDEE is to maintain my current weight.

As you can see, I was eating extremely high calorie on some days. I was testing out alternate day fasting. 5,000cals in one day is the most I've eating in a single day this entire year. If someone saw me eating all that, they would think that I'd become fat by now.

But when I average out the alternate day fasting days, it comes out to 2,426cals per day on average. That's only a 156cal surplus for the whole 8 days. So, counting today's -500cal deficit, it would only take me 2 further days of a healthy deficit of -373cals to weigh exactly what I weighed before I did the alternate day fasting week.

I don't recommend doing alternate day fasting because it isn't easy & I noticed many flaws about it which is why I'm only doing to use it as a tool for autophagy & other benefits every now & again. But my point was that knowing how to calculate calories will take away the stress. I wasn't stressing about gaining because I knew that I would simply lose it again due to the body averaging out energy from fat stores when I didn't eat.
