Default Digging Myself Out of Binge Mode

Enough is Enough to my binge eating. This is easy to say late at night after I have consumed everything in sight. Hopefully Friday will be a better day and I'm hoping that posting here will help. I know reading here tonight put a stop to my eating and gives me hope.

I am new here and it's really hard to admit in type that I'm a binge eater. I have been up and down the scale too many times to count ahhhh!! I seem to get control for a while and then I go off track. It is soooooooo hard to get back on track again. Each day when I get up I tell myself today I can do it and failure has been my friend for to long.

I posted in the profile area. I'm going to try WW and really try hard to eat more balanced. I'm a junk food junkie and when I'm in binge mode all I eat is complete junk. I started tonight by going for a walk and will be adding exercise to my days.

Good job! The first step is admitting it either to yourself on paper or out loud to someone else. No one ever recovered from a problem they were in denial about. You are now on the journey to becoming a reformed bing-eater.

Christine, I'm so glad you're joining us. It IS hard to admit to being a binge-eater. Personally, I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't have "control", you know?
I hope that today is better for you.
And congratulations on getting out and walking!

Thanks DQ and Ellis,

I find that no one I know understands. The few people I have shared this with say to just stop eating. If it were only that easy for me. My husband tries to be supportive but doesn't understand. At least when I ask him to remove tempting things out of the house he does it.

My first day, this is hard but so far today is going fairly well. Waiting till it is cooler out to go for my walk. Walking in the evening which is my most tempting time helps relieve that built up tension with the " I gotta have food" feeling.

No one gets "over-eating". They just figure we're greedy, but it's not that simple. Sometimes we ARE simply greedy , but there are many emotional/psychological factors that come into play.
Enjoy your walk this evening, Christine!
