So I binged...now what?

Ugh....Why?

I hate this feeling. I hate how it feels that I will never make progress because I will just keep on doing this. What happened, what set me off? I don't really know. I know I got some chips and cheezies for the kids today and was not planning on having any, in fact I had already planned out my meals and included a treat of popcorn. I think I waited too long to eat and was too hungry and then my brain turned off and my cravings kicked in. At some point early on I wasn't even enjoying what I was shoveling into my face but I still continued. I am upset and having a hard time thinking about getting 'back on track' when I'll probably just end up doing this to myself again. Sabotage pure and simple

I find that if I get physically hungry and my planned food isn't immediately available, I tend to binge and then once I get going of course....you know the picture. The most important thing is to get back on track immediately. You probably will fall again but then you just get up again.....you only fail when you stay down.

Try not to let yourself get physically hungry. I know you can do this....take heart!

This is what happens to me also, if I have to wait for my food when I'm hungry I binge. The only thing you can do is stay positive and keep trying, this is a battle and sometimes we won't win the battle but that doesn't make us failures, it's a hard battle but just keep going, we will get there xx

Binging is a battle you (and I) have to fight constantly. It is daunting and yes I have many times wanted to just give up and eat everything I want all the time. But so what if you get binges here and there? You also have those good days in between, and as you press on and continue picking yourself up after a binge you will get stronger, and your binges will hopefully get further apart!! At most you just maintained your current weight if things don't improve, but if you give up you will gain weight and become even more miserable and might binge even more and that's just a vicious cycle!!

It is a nasty struggle and I get how you feel so yeah ):

Make sure you're eating enough on your 'good days' so your binging will not be as easily triggered. Also, have a lot of healthy foods available and keep your binge trigger foods out of your home as much as possible. Remind yourself of the good feeling you get when you wake up from a good day without the guilt, anxiety, pudginess and bloating from a binge day! It will be more worth it than binging!!

Please stay strong

Thanks for the support, and the encouragement. I was feeling so down last night, and I kept myself up waaaaay too late so now I am exhausted starting the day. But, I am trying to do as suggested and pick myself up. I will persevere because I do have goals I want to reach and the only thing stopping me is myself. I will eat properly today and go to bed early. That is my promise to me today.

I have found that when I overeat all my goals of wanting to lose weight completely vanish. Then I feel sad and mad. I have been logging my overeating now over a month and cannot seem to get motivated which then makes mw not want to exercise. I read all these success stories and I am so envious. I self sabatoge.
