  • 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. I'll district myself with doing something; walking around the block, cleaning something, or if I'm just feeling too wore out, meditation or daydreaming--usually about the…
    in Holding off eating until mid morning or 12? Comment by Cherry_2000 March 2018
  • 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. Then for dinner I eat a huge leafy salad with a drizzle of dressing and a cup of whatever I made everyone for dinner that night. Doing this, and…

  • I'm in such a hole. I'm depressed, I avoid people, and I get super stressed when it comes to running into people who haven't seen me in awhile because of my weight gain. However, I still hope.

  • I agree with skinny by t-day: Everything goes gray. I wish I loved sex instead of food! That way, at least my hubby would be happy and I'd get some daily exercise in.
    in Things The Binge Affects Comment by Cherry_2000 October 2015
  • First of all: {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}. I've been where you are. It was because I was in a helpless situation. Or at least that's what was going on in my head. 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,…
    in Gained 40lbs since January... Comment by Cherry_2000 September 2015
  • 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!
