When you binge instead, you’re telling her:

“Go eat in the corner. I don’t have time for you or your needs.”

They deserve better than that.
YOU deserve better than that.

Behind emotional eating is often an unmet need.
A need for comfort.
For connection.
For acceptance.
For care.
Food may distract from those needs for a moment, but it can’t truly meet them.
If you’re tired of feeling stuck in the cycle of emotional eating, I’d love to help.
In Full but Not Fed, you’ll learn how to understand your urges, uncover the needs beneath them, and respond in ways that actually leave you feeling nourished—not just full.

Sharing a moment from my own journey… In case you needed to hear this too ❤️‍🩹

Recovering from an ED is so scary. You know what is more terrifying…

Imagine being 96 and realizing you spent most of your life trying to be thin.
All that time worrying about your stomach in photos.
Skipping meals at birthdays.
Saying no to things because you didn’t feel “ready” in your body.
And now?
It doesn’t matter. At all.
No one at 96 is thinking,
“Thank God I stayed small.”
They’re thinking about who they loved.
Where they traveled.
The moments they were fully there for.
And maybe the hardest part isn’t the weight.
It’s realizing how many memories were half-lived because your brain was busy counting, calculating, criticizing.
You don’t get those years back.
But you’re not 96 yet.

If you’re tired of losing years to this, I’m here for you. ❤️

Imagine being 96 and realizing you spent years trying to be smaller. Skipping cake, avoiding photos, cancelling plans, waiting to feel “ready” in your body. No one looks back grateful they stayed small. They remember who they loved, where they went, and the moments they fully lived. You’re not 96 yet.

As a therapist, one of the most important things I want people to understand is this:
Eating disorders rarely develop “just” because of food, weight, or appearance.
For many people, the eating disorder became a way to cope with emotional pain, vulnerability, overwhelm, rejection, helplessness, shame, or an environment that did not feel emotionally safe.
Controlling food or the body can temporarily create a sense of safety, relief, predictability, comfort, numbness, achievement, or protection.
In that sense, the eating disorder often functioned as a coping mechanism — a way to protect vulnerable parts of the self when healthier emotional support, regulation, or safety were not available.
This is also why recovery is about much more than simply changing eating behaviors.
Healing involves understanding:
“What emotional needs has this been helping me cope with?”
Because once we understand the function behind the behavior, we can begin building safer, healthier, and more compassionate ways to meet those needs.
You can acknowledge that the eating disorder once helped you survive while also recognizing that it is now causing harm.

Together, we can work on understanding the emotional roots beneath the ED, building safety within yourself, and helping you develop a calmer, more trusting relationship with food and your body. Reach out via the link in my bio 💌

You don’t wake up one day “healed.”
It usually starts with a quiet thought: “I can’t live like this anymore.”
Listening to that voice is the first real step.
If it’s showing up for you… don’t ignore it.

If that voice is showing up, I’m here! Book an intro call with me 💌

I asked, you answered on my stories. Here are some powerful messages from those struggling with eating disorders, as it’s ED Awareness Week:

• “It’s not so much about food or my body, it’s about coping with difficult things.”
• “Comments about how healthy you are and how you could never eat that little doesn’t help.”
• “This is not a social media trend. This is my life.”
• “I didn’t choose this struggle. Don’t get mad at me—just be there for me.”
• “It’s not as simple as ‘just eat more.’ It’s not a choice.”
• “My eating disorder is real, and it’s not something I want.”

These are just a few of the heartfelt truths shared by those with eating disorders. It’s crucial that we listen, support, and understand without making assumptions or offering unsolicited advice. 💗 - Zeynep .body.therapist
