Try not to be nervous, just expect that you MIGHT not have a calorie deficit that day, maybe even allow yourself to eat maintenance calories .
Whatever you do, try to calm the anxious thoughts or worry. Fear can lead to self sabotage.
Just think of this: HALT - Hungry. angry. lonely. tired. "Am I eating to nourish my body or feed my addiction?"
self-sabotage is about fear.
Find out what the suppressed fear
-afraid that you won't succeed?
-afraid of change?
-afraid of not getting through the holidays without backsliding?
-afraid of people's perceptions?

Hope everyone is doing well fighting the binge today!0 -

I am staying at my parents with my kids b/c my house had some flooding due to plumbing issues--not storm related b/c I live in Houston, TX. I am not online much this week but I haven't binged and enjoyed some good food in moderation for once. All the stress of this water damage and haven't had the urge to binge which is a huge celebration for me. I am logging food on my phone but won't be around much to reply to my friends or check in for a few days.0 -

Thanks for posting this. I agree, when I am fearful I seem to do worse! I'm just trying to stay in the moment at this point and not worry about next week - I'll be happy to get through today! One day at a time..... 0 -
I will join mid-month. I just found this thread and really like how supportive it is. I just bought Overcoming Binge Eating and I'm calling to make an appointment to see a therapist tomorrow. I first need to focus on not binging and then I can focus on getting to a healthy weight. I only remember my eating for the past two days (unfortunately both days included binges, but tomorrow is a new day) because those are the days I recorded what I ate. I'm so good at forgetting everything I eat during the day, journaling it and focusing on not judging myself really does help and I've never externalized "the binge" before, I've always viewed it as a character flaw...so here goes:

I had the huge urge to binge last night. Using this thread, I've realized I binge about every two weeks. Well, it's been almost two weeks since I last binged. Last night, I fought back by going to bed and watching tv never going back into the kitchen. I brought a greek yogurt for breakfast to work this morning, but that urge never really goes away. It's just a constant battle not to give in once that urge slowly creeps up trying to get me to focus on nothing else but food. I WILL NOT GIVE IN!

Every two weeks! I hope to work up to that..and then eventually gone for good! I was binging every three days for a bit there but have been a littler better recently (mostly due to this thread!). I think the urge will decrease over time and we'll learn how to indulging in our favorite foods without going overboard and losing control. We will get there!0 -
Years ago, I use to binge about every two days but would hardly eat anything between those binges. Ever since overcoming anorexia, I have slowly worked on beating the binge. It has taken me a loooong time to get to every two weeks, but I think you're right, it will continue to decrease over time. I look forward to indulging w/o ever losing control! :flowerforyou: Congrats to you for using this thread to increase your days between binging.I had the huge urge to binge last night.

I was really down last night, me and my boyfriend were arguing and he didn't text me good morning before he had to work this morning, he said he might not in the morning because he was a bit ticked off. -sigh-
I didn't give that an excuse to binge, though!! I'm going to make it to 2 weeks binge free. No self sabotages, I'm trying not to fear anything... I don't want to fear success... I deserve it.0 -
Good for you! Such a great attitude....and yes, you do deserve it....November 15th, 2012.

Thank you!
I'm also finding that when I read about intuitive eating sites, they give easy guidelines that help me eat mindfully during meals. I'm still counting calories though.
This is a good site:
