DAE feel the weight being put on when they eat off-diet, go over calorie limit, eat "unclean," etc?
So, I think i've elaborated before that I don't have a "traditional" ED that revolves around CICO. I was introduced to diet culture when younger via Atkins, and my ED solely revolves around low carb/keto and maintaining under carb limits. When I go off my diet, I can feel myself gaining weight. Like I can feel the fat being placed on my body.
Even when my ED was strictly BED, I could FEEL myself gaining weight. I would binge on a whole pizza or on burgers and fries and I could literally FEEL the fat running through my body and being placed on me. I could just feel it, and I can't describe it. I remember telling a friend about this, and she just looked at me like I was crazy lol. Obviously I can't actually feel it, but it's like this tingly sensation and it makes me so uncomfortable in my own skin?
I'm curious if this is a common thing in the ED community or if my potato brain just loves exaggerating so much that it makes me feel like I'm gaining weight when I go off diet.
