I haven't been here in such a long time! I finished Day 3 today and I have been spending all week at my dad's treatment center for addiction and it has been eye-opening to say the least. Compulsive overeating is very common in daughters of alcoholics. I have a lot to say, but I do not have the time. Really important in what we have been learning is to take it one day at a time.
Today should be Day 2, but because of a late night trip to McDonalds, today is Day 1, again! I think I’m addicted to sugar, because pretty much all my binges consist of only sugary foods. I’m going to try to cut my sugar consumption down to 15 grams per day to see if that helps lessen the urge to binge.
Day 12- After my husband went to work & I was alone in the house, the first thing I day dreamed about was a huge binge on cookies, ice cream, chocolate, peanut butter & cake. I'm so glad I don't have any of it in the house!
Day 2, finally! I only gained 2 pounds in 5 days, lovely. I didn’t eat anything sugary yesterday, which might be the reason I’m not having cravings today.
Thankfully, I’m going on a ski trip for the next two days, so I won’t be able to binge. I never binge in front of other people, or even overeat. Maybe I can also burn off these two pounds, I wish.
It's funny, but even now sometimes things can throw me for a loop. I was trying to see if I could ween myself from our lovely thread, but I still need to be here. As they say, If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Great job, Vixsin and Paris and fruitlady and all newcomeres!
