I haven't done this in FOREVER. Sometimes, I have minor binges, but this time I was totally out of control and met my entire daily caloric limit within 20 minutes. And I'm only halfway through the day. I notice I eat a lot when my bf and I are seperated, and as we get closer and closer to Friday (the last night we'll have together for a while), it gets worse. He just left, for a 4 hour visit with someone, and I lost control. I'm scared of how much harder it'll be when he's gone. It was binging that made me obese in the first place.
I have binged before too so I can relate. It sounds like your emotions are definitely tied into your eating which happens a lot. Can you journal instead of bingeing? What can you do to take care of yourself aside from eating? Just because you had a binge doesn't mean the rest of the day has to be a binge too, you can start over and get back on track now.
I feel much better today, it's a fresh start and I have no desire to binge at all. I think I'm just going to cut back a bit on calories to compensate for yesterday.
Maybe next time I'll have a soak in the tub and stay out of the kitchen. Whatever keeps me distracted from feeling anxious. I guess our time apart will give me time to find my own thing to do, and be less wrapped up into him.
I binged all day today..
I think it's because I'm trying to eat 5 small meals a day and then like.. I don't stop!
today was a very bad day for the diet..
but tomorrow is a new day!
we'll get through!
