My mom was diagnosed with ALS in May of last year. We found out yesterday that she would be moving into hospice, as she is getting very close to the end. I want to numb myself with food, to not think about this at all, but it doesn't really help.
Plus my mom has been one of the few people who see my binging as an actual problem, and she understands why I put effort into changing my habits. I find most people in my life are aokay with self-harm through binge eating. It's just something that is normal for them.1 -

@Llamapants86 I’m so sorry to hear this, I wish I could ease your burden! I wish I knew what to say, except you’ve got the team routing for you and I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers!1

Just as I was so hopeful yesterday the binge got me really really bad...the worst so far. We're talking thousands of calories

Just before bed was really really tough, but I wasn't really willing to just give up. I have a feeling my willpower won't hold up for too much longer. It needs to get easier.
@Pretty_Little_Nobody I know those binges, they suck, and they kill your confidence. Just try to pick yourself up and keep trying. Try drinking some tea and doing some gentle stretching if your stomach is really uncomfortable.
But for me, the most important part of recovering from BED has been to forgive my binges and move on. It's hard to do, but it is something that has made the most improvement to my mindset and to my improvements.1 -

Hang in there team! Just take it one day at a time; you’re ok, and treat tomorrow like you’re on a successful roll towards healing—We CAN do this!2

Feel like I have taken some control back, ive added the water, greek yogurt and some fruit to my evening meal while settling down to a cup of low calorie hot choc before bed, last night I had two but with the effort of having to make it I took a step back and realised that would be enough. Before that might of triggered a binge for me and I would have just grabbed something like a chocolate bar and then more and more, felt happy i took control of the situation and stopped at that.2 -

Food =/= comfort. But I tried it last night anway. This morning I am going to have a decent breakfast, and just try to have a better day than yesterday.1 -

The first day after a binge is so hard for me, but so important. Every time I keep from falling into a long binge streak, I get a little more confident that it isn't the end of the world.
Gonna see if I can meet or beat my best of 19 days this go around.

I don’t know if I’d call today a full on binge. I’ve lost a ton of weight all of a sudden with my broken ankle, and I think my body was reacting to the extreme weight loss. So I ate overindulgentily but not to extremes. I was careful and mindful about what and how I was eating; I know my downfall was not drinking enough water as soon as I got home from church, so I know where I can do better. But I didn’t eat to uncomfortably stuffed and I am satisfied, so I’m going to call today a success, give myself a pat on the back for being aware, and log this as a point for me. Come on team! Let’s keep going for February!

Today was a close one. I definitely overate and was on the brink of just giving in to the binge, but I pulled it together. Hopefully tomorrow will be easier.3 -
