The twisted model said she would spend a few hours each day eating at a facility and participating in a variety of therapies.

Bader, who has more than 2.1 million followers on TikTok, has clarified his food and body image issues in his videos.

“I really hope to get positive feedback from you where I can feel better and share everything I’ve learned with you,” she said.

Binge eating disorder (BED) is characterized by episodes of consuming large amounts of food, often quickly and to the point of discomfort, according to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA).

People struggling with binge eating disorder experience a loss of control while binge eating, followed by feelings of shame, fear, or guilt. It is the most common eating disorder in the United States.

Bader has been open about his struggles with binge eating on TikTok, but he explained that he “got to a point where he wasn’t good at all.”

In his video, Bader talked about his decision to seek treatment and shared how grateful he was for doing what he did to earn a living.

“Over the past year and a half, I can’t tell you how happy I am to be where I am and this is my life and it’s my job and I really enjoy what I do every day. day. Really,” he said.

The influencer explained that in recent months his overeating has become more difficult to manage.

‘I’m getting worse’ [with] how I feel about myself, my body, my confidence,” she said. “And that of course has a lot to do with my binge eating, which I said was getting worse. But to be honest, it got to a point where it never got better.

Bader considered leaving for treatment, but ultimately decided at this point that an outpatient program was the best option for him.

She said she will continue to make videos during treatment because it made her feel “the safest and best”.

“The emotions I feel when I’m alone with myself, when I’m eating, when I’m getting ready to go somewhere, when I look at myself,” he said.

“I should feel better alone. I shouldn’t feel my best based on what other people think of me and through this app.”

Bader, who has more than 2.1 million followers on TikTok, discussed quitting treatment but decided that an outpatient program is the best option for him right now.

‘I’m getting worse’ [with] how I feel about myself, my body, my confidence,” she said. “Obviously this has a lot to do with my overeating”

She returned to TikTok on Wednesday, when she began treatment, wearing a ‘realistic’ Abercrombie & Fitch wedding dress.

Bader talked about his binge eating disorder in an interview with The Local Optimist in February and said he started overeating before he became famous on TikTok.

“When I was working in the music industry and feeling stressed, I would come home and order $50 dinner and eat it all,” she recalls.

“Then I cried and got very angry about it and it got into a really scary phase that no one – my family or my close friends – could understand. I’ve been holding him for so long and he’s not exactly who I am.

Bader said he has always been “a pretty open book” and that his binge eating was the first mental health issue he was “a bit embarrassed to talk about”.

In an interview in February, Bader said that his bleeding started while working in the music industry. When he was stressed, he would order food and eat it all at once.

Known for his realistic outfit explosions, the influencer said that he will continue to shoot videos during the treatment.

“But as time went on and we developed this platform, one day he said to my mom, ‘Should I talk about food? Is it weird?’” “Back then, people would follow me mostly for my funny videos and my fashion videos.

‘I was nervous, what will people think? But when I did the first one, I never worried or thought about it anymore,” he said.

However, he said he was “still struggling”, noting that he was not in a place where he “overcame any of his eating problems.”

“I don’t think I’m going to talk about drinking publicly anymore because a few weeks ago I was like, ‘Wow, I haven’t been drinking in a month, I’m so happy,’ and everybody was celebrating. I,” they explained. “But for the past few weeks, I’ve been cramming again. So, “Was I kidding?” Like what will I write next.

“I’m very happy to be open about my challenges and share it with others who understand it, but maybe I don’t have to publish every detail about it for everyone’s view, which doesn’t help much.”
