Binged today. :(
 

I had been doing so well, then after dinner tonight I binged. I'm still trying not to even go into the kitchen, because I KNOW I'll eat something even though I feel sick already.

Just had to vent. :(

Boy, we all know THAT feeling! So don't beat yourself up. You are stronger than you feel you are right now! It's a new moon tonight and if you are anything like me (by the way, I'm also ADD) and are affected by the phases of the moon, this can be a very testy time. Get out of the house and go for a walk and get some fresh air. It's amazing how much better you'll feel. Look at the bigger picture and realize that this is a lifestyle change, not just a diet for a specific amount of time. You had some temporary insanity but that doesn't mean you haven't been successful.....Focus on how much you've accomplished and celebrate the fact that you were able to STOP long enough to vent here where there are tons of others who totally understand! Be kind to yourself the rest of the evening. **sending a supportive hug**

I think part of it is my TOM, even though I have an IUD and it's basically bloating, cramping, sore boobs for a week and then some light spotting for a day. I took an hour long bath, listened to my iPod, and tried to regroup. I feel better. The urge to binge is still there, it's just not screaming in my head anymore, so to speak. I'm glad I didn't purge. It was DEFINITELY hard, but I've gone a long time without doing it, and I knew if I purged I was almost guaranteed to A) Keep binging, and B) Start purging again. Bah.
