Great question. In her book she suggests... "There is growing evidence that people can become addicted to highly palatable foods like refined carbohydrates and saturated fats or can exhibit behaviors that shows similarities to addiction. " So if the addictive properties (release of opioids, serotonin and dopamine) can…

She does write about refined carbs and sugars and does in fact say that the brain releases chemicals in response to these foods and they can have addictive properties. They are for me. I just love how she points out the OCD, depression, anxiety, perfectionism, the emotional hurts (I was called fatboy all of my life) etc...…

Got up 3 times to use restroom last night and did not snack or binge. Took day off running, not feeling guilty or depressed about it. Progress!

I get what she is saying about co-existing problems, triggers, etc which makes some of us more prone to eating disorders. My psychologist has been effective in demonstrating how depression, anxiety, and OCD made me prone to bulimia. What I love about this book is it has told me what I've known all along and denied - if I…

Congrats on Day 5! I like how you call it the horrible thing. I call it the "binge-beast."

Awesome! Good for you!

Thank you for positive vibes greekygirl & laceyjjj. Today I am proud for several things... 1. I went out to eat, had a subway turkey on wheat, no cheese. But I also ate 2 cookies and stopped. (So I ate a "fear" food, and yet controlled urge to eat more). 2. I then walked 3.7 miles with my wife and Mom. 3, I then went out…

I went 24 hours without coffee and survived ;) But seriously... I really struggle with depression (body no longer makes testosterone as a result of my rapid weight loss / eating disorder) but I did fight the depression and finally got out of bed yesterday around 5:30 pm and went out for a jog of 9 miles. Felt better…

Woke up from an after-work nap and almost binged. Stopped myself. Went for a 10 mile run. Still came in under calories for the day.

I seem to be motivated by challenges and streaks. I had a 140 some day running streak. I'm in. 1 down, 59 to go. Just to comment on your post - dieting, weighing & restricting all seem to be lead to binges. I didnt start binging until I had lost about 100 pounds on a very severe restrictive diet. Now I just want to be…

Had great workout yesterday - 11 mile run. Got up hungry again last night. 1 am. Had a protein mug cake pre-prepared in case I got up. Avoided binge, ate protein mug cake. It is heavy & dense. Felt satisfied, went back to bed.

Ran my first race (a 5K) this morning since I was diagnosed with and began the fight against bulimia. It was difficult with all the anxiety but I just jogged the first mile, then peace settled upon my heart and mind, and I ran the last 2 miles fairly briskly. Still hope to be strong enough to run the Marine Corps Marathon…

5 of my 6 July binges all have happened in the middle of the night when I get up to use restroom. On the plus side, I know when I am at my weakest. Not sure what I can do about it though.
