> Go to a fucking dietitian, not a goddamn nutritionist. A dietitian is trained in nutrition but has an actual degree and is accredited and licensed.
Person I've gone to is an RD. Two of them, in fact. One was in the context of an eating disorder program at a local hospital. This is before I went bulimic, but they considered obesity as an eating disorder too.
>STOP FUCKING CALLING IT A DIET.
OK, is "intentional caloric restriction" better?
> I'm assuming the problem with your "diets," is that you weren't really filling up on low-calorie foods; you craved these things because you weren't really making a lifestyle change
And you would assume wrongly. I can fill up on fiber and vegetables and fruits and even psyllium fiber-husks capsules (no net calories! I did and still do swallow them by the handful at least once a day), but that doesn't work for long. Take my last serious weight-loss attempt/lifestyle-change attempt: I dropped 78 lbs in a year and kept it off for a year-and-a-half using an RD-prescribed diabetic exchange diet. I was upset when I discovered that even when eating low-to-moderate fat and fiber-rich high-volume low-calorie foods I didn't get "filled up" for very long, even with moderate amounts of protein; hungry again like clockwork 1.5-to-2 hrs after eating, every time. Which is OK during the day, but not at night.
I always had terrible hunger at night, almost every damn night, while on that plan (1200-1400 kcals/day). Not just mild hunger pangs, but hunger pangs that kept me from falling asleep. And those nighttime hunger pangs never went away, over the course of two and a half years, either. And on bad nights, it led me to bingeing on almond butter or jars of olives, and sometimes throwing them up too. Which is the largest part of why I gave up that particular 'lifestyle change".
This is actually making me think about paleo, given that the fat content of that diet/eating plan is so high. Maybe I could find satiation on that plan. But first I have to come to terms with the idea of giving up sugar forever. So I bought a couple paleo cookbooks and hubby and I have been trying some of the recipes for dinner.
>Once it becomes a mindset to feed your body amazing things that will support your cellular functions and make you beautiful inside and out, you really put better options on a pedestal and treat yourself every one and a while; in moderation.
Not everybody can do "moderation". My brain does not do "moderation" very well. As one of my fellow bipolars said last time I was in group therapy at the funny farm, "I am AMPLIFIED". There is a strong link between obesity and mental illness, incidentally. The "moderation" problem may be one reason why.
>That said, have you gotten professional therapy for your eating addiction?
Yes, thanks for asking. My first enrollment in the hospital-based outpatient program was back in 1997, actually, and that's where I was first diagnosed with depression (which is actually bipolar) and put on psychotropic meds for the first time. Have not seen an RD since 2008. The latest advice I've gotten from current therapist (a LCSW, not an RD) and my new primary care doctor is to avoid food-restricting.
