I'd handle this by not eating tomorrow. When I have a day that's way over, I simply will not eat again until I feel truly hungry. Like stomach growling for an hour or 2.

please everyone eat. food is your friend.

Hello, I to am an emotional binge eater. I eat my feelings unless I am REALLY stressed, like adrenaline rush, think I'm going to die stressed. I don't know if you are religious but something I started lately was listening to meditations for weight loss by Marianne Williamson. I got the CD from a library, put them on my computer, then on my phone. She talks to you and helps you gain back control, without a judgmental, or criticizing tone. Try it. I could e-mail them to you if you like. Just let me know. And remember, there are people out there going through the exact same thing you are. Just trust in God, and yourself. You will get through this.

Good evening! I was able to mention the therapy at dinner today, and I think my dad said next weekend could work but he'll have to look into it. If it doesn't work out, I'll just look into it myself and go myself until the whole family can.

UPDATE:

Ate around 1700 cals again, 115ish grams protein

-oatmeal w/ amaranth, stevia, cashew milk, protein, hemp seeds, raisins
-handful nuts
-eggs w/ zucchini, squash, kale, bell peppers, asparagus, braggs, nuyo, goat cheese
-protein, banana, zucchini, cashew milk, coffee shake
-turkey burger w/ asparagus & romaine
-lara alt bar (lemon pound cake)
-nugo raspberry chocolate protein bar

+ supps, water, rhodiola, green tea, sugar cookie tea, and coffee

I went to the gym, and honestly didn't feel that great there. Usually I have tons of energy, but I just felt like I had moved back to where I had started when I saw myself in the mirrors (still kind of bloated). But I'm proud of myself for still going, I had to wake up at 4:30 am and was home by 7:30 (gym is 20min away). Random, but really hot guy in the sauna today, and he said hi!

Workout was 35 min cardio (460 cals burned), and weightlifting for triceps, deltoids/traps, chest, and I squeezed in a couple abs exercises. Planning on doing glutes/legs tommorow and excited about it!

Overall, I didn't really feel like binging today, though I ate a huge breakfast and didn't really eat much of a dinner. I made my carrot cake oatmeal for tommorow morning before the gym and I'm eating the leftover that didn't fit into the bowl and feel pretty good. I have a chapter of chem to read still tonight, but otherwise have tried to calm down. Family weight comment of the day: my mom made some comments about me being "skinny" again and even compared me to a too-thin turkey burger while she was cooking. (not even joking haha, family is weird!)

ALSO, I bought rhodiola today! Which is supposed to be an adaptogen to calm you down for tests/studying etc and help you focus. I took it, and definitely didn't freak out today --> might have actually led me to eat less, even though I took it after lunch. I'm going to try to take it before my workout tommorow just to see what happens. Have any of you guys heard of it/tried it?

Another question, do you guys take pictures of the food you binged on? I was looking through my phone pictures of the sandwiches, del taco binge, and the second mcbiscuit from mcdonalds that I couldn't even finish. Strangely, I felt like it wasn't THAT much food (like "hey, I could eat more than that" but obviously don't want to really eat the junk). I realized I wasn't even enjoying that food I binged on at all, just eating it to "eat". I remember going to del taco, literally 20 minutes after mcdonalds and I haven't even been to those places for the past year. I just never liked them, except for the soft serve at mcdonalds. I remember even wanting to try the latte at mcdonalds or starbucks even though I always drink my coffee black, weird!

Thank you so much again! I know I have a couple messages to respond too, sorry for being late but I'll try to asap.
