This is my third day without my medications and i am really struggling today.. my food choices werent all that great either, so my calories have been high anyway..
Every day i wake up just as exhausted as when i went to bed.. no amount of sleep works, caffeine doesn't work..
There has to be a solution here.. how can one work on themselves when they can barely keep their eyes open all day and its like their eyes are just burning out of their head?5 -

Urg, managed 15 days binge free then ate ALL the Christmas snacks today,.probably about 3000 calories. Managed 46 (I think) days last time.
I think I've been and exercising too hard in the last 15 days, trying to compensate for the last binge three days. I've been on 1200 cals and running four miles three times a week, and doing kettlebell workouts three times a week. Just got hungry and exhausted today and was eating stollen and biscuits before I even knew what had happened. How am I even going to cope with Xmas if I can't even cope with pre-xmas?! I used to have an iron will to but have really slipped over the last year.3 -
Best thing to do is.. don't engage in corrective behavior this time.. in my experience it never works out.. the more you try to correct the more things snowball.. the snowball just becomes a giant clausterfuck and then you can't control it anymore.
So wake up tomorrow.. blank slate, reasonable calorie deficit. Do not purge with exercise.
Take the hits you've had the last little bit.. you aren't gonna wear yourself down to the nub while temptation is there and abundant.. we want to keep every ounce of will power we can to stop the binge before we start.. or stop sooner.
It's been a year for me too with the eating.. and i definitely know its hard to do.. my blank slate begins tomorrow also, I am tired of being on the losing team this year.5 -

In the past 2 weeks I've undone every bit of progress I had made this year. It's the first time in a long time that I haven't been able to just snap back after a binge.5 -
The holidays and stresses + expectations + family + drama + normal life stuff tend to put us all at a degree of difficulty that very few can match.
So I just try to remember to be kind to myself, forgive and move on to better things quickly, and that each bite is a new chance to be on plan. *HUGS*3 -

Sometimes it is hard to snap back out of it, especially when its emotionally driven.. you can do it though!3

Thanks for the support guys, I appreciate it
My mom is in town now which should help (my husband was traveling for work for 2 days and being home alone is the biggest trigger for me. Plus my mom is tiny and eats like a bird.) 2 -
My boyfriend probably wishes I was kinda like that, the type that struggles to be by myself.. lol.. im the type that loves to be alone, thats why this time away to refind myself is like a huge treat for me.. i don't wanna be without him in my life but i can definitely say that every day i take to do this is going to be amazing lol.. I wish i was more people-y tho.3

My eating has been weird due to insomnia.
I'll go hours without eating then eat in small portions 1 or 2 times then stop eating again.
Wish I knew the reason for the insomnia2 -

Don't sigh lovely.
Feel proud that you can be honest about it. That's strength even if it feels weak.4
