Hello, i've started a blog to document this journey out of the hole of emotional binge eating. it will be deeply emotional, personal and self reflective, which is why i am doing it on my own site. if you would like to follow along with me as i share my struggles and experiences, that would be great! i've started the blog already, and am currently writing about my background and establishing my plan of attack, and the first "diary entry" will commence January 1, 2009.

i hope you stop by and take a look at what i really go through, and you can hopefully relate yourself to my struggles and get some insight into working through your own demons.

    well i'm a writer, so i thought that it was pretty natural for me to put myself out there again. i've done the best in my progress when i've really taken the time to analyze myself and worked through the problems instead of covering them up. my hope is to write a book one day outlining my struggles and hopefully let people know that it is an illness and it's not an overnight fix, but a life long struggle and committment. thanks for your support!:flowerforyou:

    Thank you so much for sharing your blog address with us. I, too, am a binge eater and have been since I stopped drinking 8 years ago. Food is more of a monkey on my back than alcohol, drugs or cigarettes ever were. I've successfully quit all three of those and continue to try to get a handle on food but it is very hard. I know that it's mainly emotional - I've read a gazillion books about it, tried hypnosis, therapy, eating disorders support group, etc. - nothing has worked so far. I look forward to following your blog (the first blog I will have ever read because I think they're so boring. BUT yours will be great and I wish you and everyone else out there with a binge eating disorder all the luck in the world. Maybe 2009 will be the year that we finally "get it". :heart:
