Binge-eating setback.

Just remember that you in no way need it. It's just your mind playing tricks on you. A few hours from now it'll probably have passed. Stay strong.

Does anyone have any opinion of my though of trying to eat one cookie (after putting the others all away and sitting down in a separate room) really really slowly..?

I haven't done it yet so please tell me if it's smart or dumb? I don't think a rice cake will cut it...
In my head rn I am:



Updated because I now has a cookie..

Yes, that approach works for some people. Get some books by Geenen Roth. In Breaking Free from Emotional Eating she deals with our relationships with food.

Mercy! I am the same way. Like an alcoholic working in a brewery. I sometimes I think the only answer is to pretend I am werewolf and chain myself to a wall in the basement just to I survive the binges. The only problem is I don't have a basement - or chains for that matter.

May need to make some late-night, spur of the moment investments...

Okay but really. In all seriousness- think of this not as a diet, but as a lifestyle. I am on a 1200 calorie limit which is TOUGH! I'm 3 weeks out from one heck of a bad binge day. I'm doing really well now by allowing myself a SMALL cheat every day. Today I had 3 dove dark chocolate minis. Earlier in the week I had a funfetti cupcake. Sometimes, I eat back most of my exercise calories. (Thankfully that still leaves me at a deficit), but most of the time I just plan for it during my day. whatever it is you're thinking of having, check out how many calories then try to earn it first!
