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.

Take care.

Thank you!!

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.

Thank you for letting me get this off my chest.

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!
