  • It's hard. Lord it's hard at times. But when I feel a binge coming on or even if it jumps up and surprises me out of nowhere, I employ delay tactics.

  • Now, this has been working for me--it probably would not work for others, but it seems to be working for me: I eat 'brunch' around 11am. Around 2 pm, I eat a yogurt or a banana.

After my 'helpless situation' resolved itself, I turned to prayer, calorie counting, and going ty o the gym. I haven't been perfect and am now battling a thyroid issue,…
  • I keep stuff like that out of the house. However, I'm guilty of baking muffins (like I did the other day) and brownies and scarfing down the whole lot of them! They both are definitely trigger foods for me (so is spagetti & other pasta which I don't eat anymore --i can't!). I feel so embarrassed, especially if hubby or son…
  • Thank you! I need to realize that staying 'a little bit hungry' is a necessary feeling for my prone-to-binge self!
