    Ok... So I just joined this group today and started back on the site today. Last night I confessed to my husband just how much I have been binging lately. I am hating myself, but I have decided I'm ready to fight the battle and win because I want to get back to my skinny self. So far in February I have been losing to the "The Binge", but that is about to change!! I'm tired of feeling crappy because of all the bad food I'm putting in my body!

    Me - 5.
    Binge - 3.

    Utter despair. I hate myself so much right now. This is not a minor binge, but a really severe one, at least 6000 calories, staggered over the morning hours from 5am til 11am. Going to take me weeks to undo this. Never again. I am so done with this, even if I have to starve it out of myself.


    No punishment. Starving would trigger another binge. Hun be kind to yourself. :( Forgiveness is going to get you farther than the self hate will. It's only temporary motivation. How can you take care of what you don't love..?

    That's really beautiful, and true. How can we take care of something we don't love?

    I agree. I try to have a mantra for each day noting the sense of pride I can gain physically, emotionally, and mentally if I eat well. It's just a vicious cycle for me. I would like to put an end to that. I appreciate your support! You are all my inspiration!

    Binge- got me today.....darn it ......1

    Need to have zero binges this month. That was my goal. Why am I so easy to cave.

    Expectations can self sabotage at times. When I tell myself I wont have any binges all month, I give up too quickly... it's best to not stress it. Just take it a day at a time. Instead of saying "I will not binge today" say "I will eat healthy foods and treat my body with care today". Just suggestions of course. :flowerforyou: Still got 21 days left to this month. =)

    Me: 7
    the binge: 0

    Days logged: 7/28

    I could feel, I don't know, SOMETHING, some resentment or other stress that was pushing me to eat in a bingey way soon after I got home from work. I pushed back and ate a healthy and satisfying snack (protein, fiber, fat) that evened me out until I was ready to face dinner prep. I'm going to remember that strategy. Was also glad for the awareness that the resentment was making me feel a bit bingey; too often that is lacking until it's much too late.

    That is so great you recognized it and did something. I recongized it yesterday but failed to do soemthing!!!
