It gets old really fast...

 

I think about this all the time. Also, I'm vegan living with non-vegans so I imagine what it would be like living with fresh fruits and veggies all the time and having just only vegan products in my house ..

The novelty wears off when youre so hungry you're crying bc it's likely to trigger a binge

 

YES! I think about this all the time. I get so frustrated seeing my parents bring a bunch of junk into the house. It's very triggering having it just there, even though I ask them not to buy that stuff. When I'm on my own I finally won't have to worry about binging. Like I'll go to the store to buy only the day's meals and keep everything practically empty. And no one will be there to pressure me to eat.

 

Yup. Cant wait

True. I live on my own as well since a few months and at first you think yeahhh I will never buy food anymore restricting is going to be so easy
Until you're literally crying and unable to think or sleep anymore and even if you're lazy as hell (like me) you'll find yourself going out to get food. Probably too much of it as well because you're ready to binge.

 

YES YES YES. I literally cannot wait to move out for university because of this.

 

I'm hopefully about move in with two roommates and I have no idea how to keep them from noticing that I kinda don't eat for days at a time lol

Kind of, not so much empty but having pure/set foods. I often go onto online grocery shopping sites and fill up my cart with things I'd fill my cupboard with when I'm living alone to sustain a perfect macro-calorie-health balance. Oats, beans, fruit, veggies, almond milk, and Weetbix are my ideal staples

 

LOL I used to fantasize about this.. but now that I live on my own I do the exact opposite...just stock up on foods.

 

yes . i can't wait to move out as soon as i graduate from high school

 

I do this often. I would only keep some veggies, soups, and crackers and everything would be very neat and clean. Its pretty calming to think about.

 

I'm kind of the opposite. I've been living on my own or with roommates for 7 years now, and basically all I do is stock up on safe foods. They just think I'm constantly dieting or eating healthy, but the temptation of foods my family always kept stocked (Doritos, cakes, pizza, etc) isn't there. When I go visit family is a whole other story though

 

I never really fantasized about having no food in the house, but having MY safe food only. It's really nice ngl. B^)

 

Oh yes...But I will move into a flat with my best friend and two other strangers as roommates..So I am kinda nervous especially because my ED is not my only mental illness and I am Like rlly weird sometimes...But argh I will survive in mushrooms and oatmeal

Lmao, I live by myself and it's just made it 1000x harder to avoid binging. Like I have to have SOME food, but now just nothing is safe. Raw broccoli and you're real fucking hungry? Damn time to binge on 5 lbs of that shit. Plus it's so easy to just go to the store and buy a lot of binge food. No one is around to ask why you brought 3 bags of junk into your room or why you keep going to the bathroom.

 

I think about it a lot but it'll never happen.. I'm married (we're currently staying with my parents) and I always think about how good it would be to only have controlled amounts of safe foods in the cupboards.. and nothing at all when I'm fasting but since I'm living with my husband once we finally get the money together to move out.. it's never gonna happen

 

I thought I would do that when I started living alone but really I ended up staying recovered until recently.

 

I live alone as well, and I don't keep my cabinets empty. If I'm feeling bingy I'd much rather have some safe food to munch on than run to the store and get who knows what.
Because I WILL run to the store and it would not be for safe food lol
It is nice to have it all organized how I want though, and only have available the foods that I want.

Me, so me. I keep picturing my kitchen stacked with oats, coffee, bananas, energy drinks, other safe foods. Although it seems very idealistic and comforting now, I do realize that it probably isn't going to be maintainable. Still, it's such a lovely thought.

 

When I first moved on my own, I didn't even turn on my fridge because I didn't feel like I needed one. After ppl wondering so much about it, I turned it on and had a carton of skimmed milk (for coffee) there and nothing else. Eventually I started buying more things.

Even these days my cupboards are full of baking stuff I never use and have to throw out after several years unused. My fridge has mainly condiments I never use and have to throw out after a year or two, mostly unused. My freezer is full of vegetables and safe food I never use and throw out every two years or so..

Waste of money and space.

^This exactly. I live alone and keep my place stocked with safe vegan food...I'm just determined to keep binge food out of my house. If my fridge and cupboards were empty, I'd get binge urges and go out for junk food, even if there was a blizzard/hurricane/tornado raging, lol.

 

all the time omg

 

yes kind of

or just fruits and veggies for me mostly, but not too much
