well of course i always feel guilty and mentally like crap.

but i've really been assessing the situation after binges lately. trying to figure things out.

physically i noticed:

my skin hurts. weird i know. but my skin gets really sore and sensitive. i haven't found out why. is it the salt, the water retention, sugar? what.

also, my heart beat increases dramatically. like i was doing light exercise.

scary right.

Right now I feel like crud. My stomach hurts and my head is spinning.
I have drunk far too much wine and eaten far too much food. I have been doing this since Halloween and I have gained 10 pounds already.
WHY CAN'T I STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every moring it's "Ok, tonight is the night, no more wine, no more food!"
Then towards evening I say" I really should be able to drink ONE glass of wine and eat ONE snack. Then I'll go to bed and read.
BUT..do I?
No I have 4 glasses of wine instead.

Crud!

Stellart,

and increased heart rate after eating could signal a food sensitivity or food allergy.
Ironically, people often get cravings for the foods that they are sensitive or allergic to.
it may also explain the skin sensitivity you are experiencing.

hope that helps,
