Welcome!! I love your goal of to only drink one coffee!! I need that one!! :smile: Crystal

Wow! I love this thread! My name Is Crystal, I am 46 years old. I have been divorced for two years, but found the love of my life and I am engaged. I have started many challenges and just cannot seem to complete them. This seems to be just what I need. I had surgery two weeks ago and cannot exercise for 4 more weeks. So my…

Are you currently in therapy? I am sorry you are having such a hard time with your relapse. I can understand. That is what I am dealing with right now. THe last 8 days have been better. I am really trying to get back in a better place. I believe learning to love yourself and think more of yourself is part of that process.…

I love your response on this, please tell me how you got this far!! I would love to be where you are at, I am exhausted from thinking about it all the time!! Crystal

My name is Crystal, I have been diagnosed with bulimia and I also suffer from binge eating. I use laxatives, for I cannot make myself purge. I am a 46 year old preacher's daughter. A lot of my disorder comes from my childhood. I have always had a bad relationship with food. That is my stress reliever. I am also a carb and…

I so completely am the same way, I have no stopping sense! I can eat a whole box of cereal in one setting, doughnuts the same way! I am a carb, sugar addict! It is such a stress reliever, I am trying to get it under control! If there is such a thing! A monster is a good way to describe it! :grumble:

I have heard that about artificial sweeteners, I am totally addicted to them. I try to quit using them and just find myself buying more. I use them in my tea, cokes, cereal, coffee you name it!

I do not eat enough protein. I have never heard of a Naturopath. What exactly is that? Yes we need to support each other. I have had about 2 binges today! I just want to go one day with no binge! We can do this, I will be glad when the holidays are over, I feel like a scrooge this year!

That is awesome!! Way to go!!:drinker:

I am so sorry about your co=worker, I can understand how that would bother you. And no that is not silly. I would have done the same thing. But you got back on here, that is what is important, don't let it get you down anymore! I hope you have a good day and we will just support each other through this holiday season!!…

I am so sorry about your binge, it isn't too bad! AT least it wasn't something with tons of sugar and fat. we have to look at the bright side! LOL!:smile: You got back on here and that is a plus, it was real hard for me to finally log on, I feel really bad letting my health issues get to me like I did! But we have to pick…

I did horrible over the holiday weekend. I ended up in the emergency room and got real depressed because of my health issues! But I have got to get this under control. I am going to be having a lot of test the next couple of weeks and I do not need these eating issues making me feel worse! I really need the support of…

Good Morning everyone, I am very thankful for this group and the support I have here! My name is Crystal, I am 46 years old, I was married for 26 years and have been divorced for 2 years, I have two daughters 25 and 21 and I currently live with my boyfriend and I have always had issues with food. I was raised a preacher's…

Oh yes, I suffer from depression and anxiety. And of course that leads to my binges. I am on medication, I use to be in therapy when I had insurance. A lot of my depression is related to my childhood and is hereditary. I am really working on the self-talk to help me overcome my depression and not let some of my family…

Yea!! Sounds like you are doing great!! :happy:

That is exactly what I am trying to do! I hope you are having a good weekend!! So far I am making it!! Crystal

Mollie that is great! Glad you made it through!! I haven't had a binge, I went to a football game yesterday and I did not even begin to keep up with my calories, but I did not have a binge! That is day one for me!:smile: I just cannot seem to get motivated! :grumble: I am just going to try and take one day at a time!!…

Dana, I think that is a good idea. The threads can get overwhelming! Crystal

Thank you and that is a good idea, I have got to get some control because I feel so out of control!! :grumble: Crystal

I had a bad day yesterday, there is way to much drama going on in my life right now, I am just trying to hang in there. I am going to start treating my disorder as a third person, maybe that will help, I hate being an emotional eater! Thanks Dana for starting this group, it helps being able to vent and having the support…

Yea! That is awesome! Glad you are doing so well, it seems like you are in a good place right now! Hope you have a great day!! Crystal

Congrats on keeping under control!! That is awesome! I like the idea of talking to our ED, I need to try that as well! Have a good rest of your week!! Crystal

Welcome Richie! I have done better as well! My binges are getting fewer, I use to go for months, Glad you are with us!! Hope you have a great day!! Crystal

Keep us posted on how it goes. I am the same way, I weigh too much! It is hard not to, and when I do good for a few days I can totally undo everything in just a couple of days! Good luck and we are in this together!! Hope you have a good day!! :smile: Crystal

That is awesome!! :smile: Congrats! We learn to really appreciate the BF days!! I had a bad day yesterday, but I am really going to try hard to get back on track today! Crystal

Glad to see you back!! I hope you had a great trip! I need to apply the faith to myself as well! That is what I am working on! Hope you have a great week! :happy: Crystal

I hope you had a good night!! Mine was stressful as well but I stayed within my calories!! :smile: Wow it was tough!! Everyone on here is such a support! Crystal
