I have the food hiding issue since I am scared of binge eating it, I will hide it in weird spots in my house to try and prevent me from eating it but I still end up eating it.
Omg, I used to hoard fruit and bananas so that the CHILDREN of the family I was sharing a community with wouldn't eat them before I could. I used to get stressed if people would take an extra portion of food at dinner and think they were being greedy: ("what if I want some more of this later and it's the only food I can eat?"). I was so underweight, anxious, depleted.
I'm glad you can look back and see the craziness of it all. I have done very similar things in the past and am shocked how I, an educated human being, could have acted that way. We live and we learn.
I experienced the “hoarding” mentality with binging. I would have food in the house that I loved and couldn’t bring myself to keep it around so I would have it all in one sitting. Is there any way to combat this mentality?
Yes there for sure is a way to combat it but its hard to put into a couple sentences because in reality we have to look at your whole narrative around food and such to figure out where theres tension and distrust with food.
So proud of you! You’ve come a long way 💪🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for this!! I always feel so much shame when it comes to even having a bit food in my house
No need to be ashamed, but it's good to understand why it is happening!

I am trying to let go of the behaviour of hoarding....its so so difficult

Strangely enough, I hoard meat after quitting veganism. I always need to know I have a good stash of meat available in the fridge/freezer.
Doesn't surprise me, your body didn't have it for a while and now is probs gonna be a little obsessed with eating meat for a while.
