  • My long term BF is scared my bum will fall off if I lose weight.

    my triggers are very situational:

    * I have trouble not eating in front of the computer. So I am trying hard to keep water nearby, and drink more tea at the comp. Right now I am having a healthy breakfast.

    * I binge when stressed, anxious AND bored. Often when I am procrastinating.

    * I binge when I am tired but still trying to stay awake. I know I should just go to bed.


    I'll just eat item after item after item... It's been getting better, though!
  • Souvenir, I'm the exact same way! And recently, I have been getting better about just going to sleep rather than eating to stay awake. Although I've got a huge exam tomorrow so I probably will have a late night!
  • my trigger is just that first bite of "forbidden" food while i'm on plan. it's almost like a heroin addict getting just a little bit. my logical mind just immediately shuts down and i go into a full binge.
  • I guess I'm pretty standard....

    Stressful situations (exams, court, etc)

    Festive occasions (tis my right to eat damn it?!!)

    Being home alone ... lonely/bored/tired
  • - new low on the scales
    - pictures of myself at parties/etc
    - comments about my weight, no matter if they're postitive, said in passing, etc.
  • I find that I binge when I am upset or I am emotionally stressed. I find that I binge when I am at a buffet or an occasion where there is a lot of free food or food options I haven't had before.
