Disordered Eating
Eating when not hungry, eating past fullness, and restricting when hungry.
Definition
Eating when not hungry, eating beyond the feelings of fullness, and restricting food when hungry are examples of disordered eating.
Why it matters
Disordered eating can look like restricting food until you are alone, delaying meals until your body begs for mercy, eating far beyond fullness, or using food as a primary reward system. A GLP-1 quiets the noise. It does not do the therapy.
None of this is medical advice. It is educational material drawn from FAT BITCH: Killing the Willpower Myth by Cat Clark, and it does not replace your prescriber, your pharmacist, or your actual doctor. If something here does not match what your care team told you, go with your care team and bring this along to the conversation.
