Who wants to come live with me, tie me to a chair and viciously slap me around when I'm about to binge? Seriously that's what it feels like it will take right now.

Is this like the adult coloring books?

Great to hear @ab6046! Hopefully you can continue your streak. I'm really trying to bounce back from yesterday. I felt awful all night and got very little sleep. Unfortunately fatigue tends to trigger binges. I'm so tired of this mental game.
-
It's after midnight and I'm still awake with a terrible stomach ache. I need to stop treating my body like garbage!
-
Not a very good day for me. Ate a couple of handfuls of nuts after the blueberries. My stomach is now in shambles and I know I won't sleep well. @ab6046 They are amazing. The are dark chocolate covered blueberries. I have no control with them. Didn't even now we had a package left in the house until I was riffling through…

Realized a new trigger today. I binge when I eat something that doesn't satisfy me. My lunch today didn't turn out as I expected and tasted pretty blah so what did I do, I started to eat random things until I found something that satisfied me.
-
Just ate a whole bag of chocolate blueberries. :( Determind to stop right now!! I had a good week stretch without a binge. Kind of disappointed that I caved in.

Luckily my daughter is only 2 and really doesn't have much exposure to candy yet. Her basket will be small toys and books. She went on a Easter egg hunt last weekend and she got to eat 1 piece and then we gave the rest to her older cousins. I knew if we brought it home I would binge on it.

@daniellethesheep I'm so sorry you are struggling so badly. Feeling alone and helpless is the worst. Remember you are not alone though, we are all here for you. You said you are training for a marathon, I think that is awesome and something you should be extremely proud of. I can't even run a mile on pavement without…

You can do this @ab6046!! Monday's are always bug stressor days for me also. I also have to go grocery shopping which gets alittle scary sometimes. I just have to control my emotions and think about how good it has felt not to binge for 5 days.

Great job Irish! I made it through my nephews birthday party without eating any pizza, cake, or chips. Trying really hard to avoid any gluten since it seems to make my body go crazy. Mostly just ate veggies without dip and some cubed cheese. I wasn't really hungry most of the day yesterday. Currently 4 days without a binge.
-
I am also not currently logging or weighing my food. I am trying to learn to listen to my body and only eat if I'm truly hungry and most importantly, eat what I WANT and not what I think I should eat or what fits in my macros. Currently haven't binged since Tuesday and feeling pretty good.
-
Busy weekend ahead for me. Currently on the road to my brothers for the weekend. It's my nephews 3rd birthday so it should be fun.
-
Well I made my first appointment at an eating disorder center. Couldn't get in for a few weeks but it's a step in the right direction! I feel really good about it. Hopefully this helps me
-
I'm sorry it's been a rough day so far ab!! If it were me I would toss the rest of the cheesecake. Eating the rest later will only lead to more negative thoughts. We truly are fighting our own minds. I'm on the opposite side today, I'm restricting. My favorite jeans are getting tight and it's put me in a bad place. I know…
-
I would call it a victory Irish!! I also managed not to binge today, but I didn't track my food either. Sometimes I feel like tracking my food sets me off, I see it go in the red by a few calories and I say "oh well the day is blown, might as well binge"
-
I know stress is my biggest trigger and I don't manage it well, obviously. The biggest stressor has been that we have been trying to conceive again for almost 8 months and my body is not cooperating. I also realize that getting pregnant on top of this BED is probably not a good idea, and that stresses me out even more!
-
No, not Caillou!! Cut off my right arm or something! Anything but Caillou! In all seriousness I try to write down what I'm thinking and narrow down triggers but I really cant pinpoint what set me off. I had a terrible headache, my daughter wouldn't nap, I haven't really seen my husband since Saturday (it's midterms week so…

Another binge in the books today. Why can't I like the way my body looks and enjoy food like a normal person?!?!
-
Gah I need to stop!!!

Caillou=DEVIL!! My nephew watches it. I try to keep my daughter from ever seeing it. Today is going okay for me. Haven't had a binge in 4 days but I have that nagging feeling creeping in today. Hoping I can keep the beast at bay.
-
For me a binge is also about the loss of control. Negativity builds up in my mind and I convince myself the only way to stop the thoughts is to eat. Then it's like a train deraiing, I can't stop. I scramble to eat anything and everything I can find in the house. Sometimes I even pack up my child and drive to the store or a…

TOM is a b****! Sorry you had a rough one Irish. I did pretty well at my friend's house. I ate a ton of cheese and nuts but I completely avoided the sweets and chips which always gets me in trouble. I went way over on calories but I'm not upset about it and I didn't binge, just kind of ate throughout the evening.
-
My friend is a food pusher. She's always saying "take more of this" or "eat more, I made too much food". I try to decline kindly but she just keeps at it. It's like a permission slip to binge for me! I'm not to the point where I'm comfortable telling her that I have a problem with food.
-
I've had 2 really good days in a row. A little nervous about this evening because I'm going to a friend's house for her birthday and she always makes tons of good food.
-
Yesterday after my binge I had a major emotional breakdown. My husband knows that I have some struggles with food but I've been pretty secretive about my binges. Last night I broke down and confessed everything to him. It felt good to be honest about it and get it all out. He was very understanding and supportive. We…
-
Yeah I won't be sleeping well tonight. My stomach is so tight and painful
-
Awful day. One of my worst. 3 good days in a row then BAM! Seriously thinking of going to counseling and paying out of pocket until our insurance kicks in on the 1st. Just can't keep doing this.
-
Sorry to hear that you had a rough day. Just remember that we will all stumble along the way. A week and a half without a binge is great! Tomorrow is a new day.
