Two months have passed since that eye-opening post, and I haven't binged since
I posted the post below two months ago (well, two months and a day). Somehow it feels like a lifetime ago, yet I still remember it so clearly. As I said above, I have not binged since, not even once.

Dedicateting next year to better health

Letting stomach shrink
I suffer from binge-eating disorder. I eat very large amounts of food. It is similar to bulimia, but I never throw up/ use laxatives. I have, however overexercised, over restricted in the past. Now my stomach has become so large, that I never feel full, or maybe I'm wrong, I do feel full after I eat about the same amount…

60 DAY no binge challenge
Hi everyone. I am in pain as I write this: both physical and mental pain. The physical pain is caused by intestinal cramps and abdominal bloating. It's hard for me to find the right position in which to sit or lay down. The mental pain is a sense of disbelief, sadness, anger, and all directed towards me. The cause is binge…
