Overcoming my battle with food

Hello everyone, as a 35-year-old man dealing with eating disorders, I want to open up about my struggles and how I am working towards overcoming them. For years, I’ve struggled with body image issues and unhealthy eating habits. It took a toll on my mental and physical health, and I felt like I was alone in this battle. However, I’ve recently sought help and started therapy, which has been incredibly helpful. I’ve also found support from online communities like this one. Knowing that I’m not alone and hearing about others’ journeys has given me hope and motivation. I still have bad days, but I’m taking small steps every day to improve my relationship with food and my body. I just want to encourage anyone else struggling with eating disorders that there is always hope for improvement and healing. You are not alone in this fight, and reaching out for help is the first step towards recovery.
