to do this. I have been binging more and more these days. I have to figure out how to get out of this pattern. I know why I do it. Its related to many events that have occured in my life. I also know I’m not ready to seek any type of counseling..to be honest I think it would make me binge more. So I’ve got to figure out how to cope with this behavior. Well I did something new tonight and it worked. Every time I feel the urge to go back in the kitchen for more or just go to the bathroom I look in the mirror and have a talk with myself. The first one was a no nonsense one that went like this–”Have you lost your f’ing mind? You know you don’t need that food! Get it together girl! Make some sense here please. You know better!” The next time–”Girl you are doing so good, etc”. It’s worked so far. Here’s hoping it gets me through the night and continues to work!

I talk to myself all the time…I sound like a drill sergeant…”Get on the treadmill…no, don’t think about it, just do it!!!!!” “What are you doing in the kitchen? Its not dinner time now, is it?” It works for me and I hope it will work for you, too.

Thanks Rhonda. Still struggling but I do appreciate you checking in on me and making comments. Today is the first day of my binge free challenge and I plan to succeed!
