February Challenge - Me vs. The Binge
Replies

Yesterday I enjoyed a delicious meal that I may have been scared of eating in the past, since it used to trigger a binge. I enjoyed it and was able to stop. So proud of myself! Maybe I can actually go out and enjoy weekends now!
That's fantastic, Colleen! I hope you really savor that victory! :bigsmile:0 -

Binged the past 2 days bad. I feel in such a bad place right now. I am disgusted with myself but trying to forgive and love me all at the same time. I am so sick of this cycle. It is hard to love yourself when you self destruct it with food and wonder what the hell you are doing to yourself. I look at my children and know they deserve better than this. I have got to beat this. I don't know what the answer is..logging food or not, I was becoming so obsessive with counting calories and now I am the point I just don't want to do it. There has to be a happy medium and just haven't found it. Hopefully tonight when I check in I will be in a better place, mentally, and beaten the binge for today.
Hope you're feeling better today in every possible way, Elizabeth.

Had a run of days of binge eating. Yes, it feels horrible. You end up feeling totally swollen and somehow unclean and it is a huge battle to stop as the cravings can be so intense. But remember, the self destructive behaviour happens because you don't love yourself. For if you did love yourself, eating too much food would not take that away as the love is for the person within.0 -

Let myself get too hungry before dinner and snacked on stupid stuff, but I didn't have very much, I logged it, and I went over calories today only by about 50, so I'm taking that.
Good to see so many people posting here!

Thank you all for the support! I am feeling much better--did binge yesterday but it wasn't that bad, just that binge mindset. I am came up with a plan for the week with dinner menu and lunch options and snack choices. Sometimes when I have planned things out and have good nutritious food to choose from I do better. Today was a success!0 -

Have felt nauseated for about 5 hours now--think it's because I let myself get too hungry again. This is silly.
I ended up eating weird things for dinner, just trying to keep the nausea at bay. Reminded me of trying to find "neutral" food when I had morning sickness. (that is NOT a concern now, LOL!)0 -
