Last night

njitaliana

I was overtired last night, dealing with health problems, and feeling in need of comfort, and I almost binged. Instead, I managed to talk myself down from the ledge by reminding myself that I'd be awake with acid reflux all night if I binged, and that I really needed sleep. So, I had two turkey meat sticks (like small Slim Jims) and a lowfat cheese stick, and that was it. Phew. I was about 140 calories over, but the night before, I was about 1000 calories under from exercising. So, I did okay. But, today I feel bad because I had that desire to binge last night. I should feel good about not giving in. Instead, I feel bad that the desire to binge is still there. I know that makes no sense, but I feel that way anyway. I had hoped that the desire to binge would be gone.

I am so ready to binge tonight. I'm not going to do it though because I need to prove to myself that I have the willpower to combat the unhealthy cravings. I can't let my cravings rule me!

I think you really should be proud that you beat the craving. Eventually the cravings will lessen, but it's an uphill battle so you should never be too hard on yourself. Think of it this way- if you didn't have cravings, it would be easy not to binge, so what would you have to feel proud of?! You should feel even more proud because you had those feelings but you overcame them. That's my thought, anyway.

Great job Nijitaliana! I think how you handled was very responsible. I will try to emulate that. I call them "minibinges" and so far I only had one since I've joined MFP.

And I like your positive perspective on overcoming cravings, thiswillhappen:)
