welcome to all newbies
surfergirl-i have a habit of eating too fast too when i'm alone but when i'm with company i eat like a civilized people lol i'm trying to eat slower and really enjoy the food but i'm always in a some kind of hurry or so hungry already that i can't wait to start eating . i remember always telling myself to chew at least 20 times before swallowing when i was younger
i must try that again
mottainai- exactly, what's done is done now just pick up yourself where you left and move on. there will probably be more binges in your life but it doesn't have to be right now. i'm sorry you're going trough this, but we've all been there and i know how it feels. try to distract yourself with something, for me cleaning or reorganizing my closet (and my life ) usually helps, any kind of decluttering. and let me tell you something, after removing certain people out of my life helped me so much. about three weeks ago i deleted some "friends" from fb whom i've known for almost all my life but i was friends with them out of politeness, i distanced myself from my dysfunctional family and it feels like a great weight fell of my chest. i feel free.
mccull83- man i can't imagine a drawer full of candys but if i were in your position i would probably end up doing the same. in cases like that i ususally think of my skinny friends who can resist easily. good luck with your goal
danzigurl- i hope you're feeling better now. after binge i go shopping, tell myself that i won't do it tomorrow and reflect hard on why i did it.
clevername- admitting that you have a problem is a very huge step and very courageous. i wish you all the best with beating it.
pinkhurricane- good job on resisting those cookies! you know, moderation is the key
