Introducing Myself

Hi Everyone!
I'm so excited to have found a binge group on here. I've been binge eating almost my entire life. I've been in therapy for over 9 months down dealing with binge eating, stress managements, acceptance, and self-love. I thought everything was going great, I hadn't been binge eating (just eating the wrong things) and now I've foind myself bingeing again. It's craziness. When I'm focused to losing weight, the self-sabotaging binges kick in, when I couldn't care less about losing weight the urge to binge is non-existent. I shouldn't say "couldn't care less", I just mean when losing weight was at the bottom of my long list of priorities. But I'm beginning to understand that my health needs to be a top, if not THE TOP priority, because no matter where life takes me, I will always be dealing with some type of stress or deadlines.
I have all the tools, I just need to be help accountable in using them and some support for when I fall off the wagon.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm excited to be a part of this community. MFP is the only place I've found that talks about bingeing honestly, which is incredibly refreshing.

Welcome! I just recently joined this group, too. It's a difficult road to go on your own. While my other friends had no issues with calorie restriction and would give suggestions like, "just eat when you're hungry" and other common sense tips like that, I knew that there had to be a group of people that understood. I have no idea why I do this, but I know that if I could just gain some control, I would already be following those common sense guidelines.
It's a welcome change to be in a group of people that understands the difficulty behind something as inexplicable as a BED. I don't feel dumb talking about my problems here.0 -
