I was doing alot of self scrutiny lately to figure out what exactly was setting off my binges and purges (and/or severe food restriction), in an effort to try deal with those issues in another way.
Let me start off by saying that binging/purging/restriction are happily no longer a part of my daily or weekly life!!
(And until a few days ago I had gone 35 days without a binge/purge and over two weeks since restriction)!!
BUT, I got set off on a binge&purge&restriction mode/cycle a few days ago in response to something that caused me ALOT of anxiety and helpless fear (health issues), and without being aware I just went off on a panicked disordered cycle. I have struggled to re-gain my footing and yesterday was "good" for me and today is going well. So, phew for now.
So, have any of you noticed what specific feelings or situations (or whatever) set you off onto a "bad" eating mode?
How do you cope with those feelings (aside from making unhealthy eating decisions)?
