Does anyone else feel unsettled by relating to how the cast members often say they think about food constantly and what their next meal will be?

I have anorexia (binge/purge subtype), and a common misconception with anorexia is that we don’t like food; wrong, I LOVE food and think about it all day everyday. I even dream about food often. After I eat, even while I’m eating, I think about the next thing I want to eat. I buy a lot of food. I watch others eat. I love food commercials. I love pictures of food. I love the smell of food. When I binge, it’s like permission to just eat whatever and how much I actually want. I don’t even have a stomach anymore because of my eating disorder, and I still manage to eat A LOT of food on a binge. Head hunger is real! I lost real hunger when I lost my stomach because there is no hormonal communication between my brain and stomach, but I still get “hungry.” If you aren’t overweight, then you obviously aren’t overeating (too much or too often) and I wouldn’t worry about ending up like that.
