Hi @Estakz
Thank you for reaching out about a vulnerable topic for you. Firstly, you should feel proud of yourself for being so self aware, making active efforts towards overcoming your urges, and keeping yourself accountable with this post.
When you feel the urge you have talked about, it may be helpful to try to replace the 'fix' with a different, healthier source of dopamine. These could include a fun form of exercise, getting some sunshine, engaging in or finding some new hobbies, and seeking some social support from friends or family.
Working towards a happy and healthy relationship with your body can be really tricky. Although it can feel difficult at first, being intentional with practicing self-compassion and being kind with your words to yourself is important. Surrounding yourself with more positive influences and reducing viewing of social media etc is also helpful.
Thank you for sharing so openly. I wish you the best on your journey to a healthier relationship with your body. You've already taken the hardest step by acknowledging change is needed—you're on the right path. You got this!
