    Yesterday was a tough call. I chose to eat entirely way too much junk food instead of real food, yet not a binge. Bad behavior, just in a different way.

    You are not alone on this one. But I am really doing well logging all my poor choices. Still better than binges. Keep up the good work!

    Dennis,

    Have you tried to determine why you are waking up in the middle of the night?

    Have you been checked for Sleep Apnea? People with Sleep Apnea often wake themselves when, after they have stopped breathing for a period of time, they finally start breathing, often with a big gasp for air that often wakes them up. People with Sleep Apnea don’t know that they have stopped breathing and don’t know why they woke up. If you sleep with someone, ask them if they notice if you stop breathing, or have a gasp for breath. I have obstructive Sleep Apnea, and after I started using my CPAP regularly, my sleep is much better and I wake up fewer times.

    Now I just wake up to go the bathroom, and since I have cut out the liquids after 7 pm, my trips are less.

    Just a few thoughts.

    Well, I'm been MIA for the first half of the month, had a rough go of it. Between a crazy work schedule and the stress of dropping a class in the last 3 weeks, and some of my friends being distant, It wasn't good, that's for sure.

    Today was the best day I've had all August, no binging, under calorie goal, work-out in. I'm really proud of today, so I'm going to move past the first half of the month and count today as the beginning.

    Ugh. almost 11pm sitting on my couch, hoping for sleep and a new day. i've been going through stimulant withdrawal for the past week (vyvanse which I've been on for 4 years) as well as getting properly treated for bi-polar (lithium and lamictal). My body is freaking out and I'm craving carbs and fats worse than ever before .i'm bloated, tired, depressed, and just unsure when this awful pattern of eating/sleeping/eating/sleeping will subside. Does anyone have experience with binge eating after getting off stimulants?? I can use some comforting words and/or advice on how to soften the withdrawal (if such a thing exists). Thank you for reading this post.

    Sincerely,
