As I know I benefit from hearing y'all's discoveries regarding your eating/etc, thought I would share some of mine.
This morning, I binged. After, I realized why.
#1 - got in fight with DH.
#2 - fight made me want to eat.
#3 - dh wants me to stop binging, and lose weight, so eating is direct way to subconciously "get back" at him.
#4 - realized at end of binge all of these reasons FOR binge.
So, I think that as we discover the "chain of events" that leads to binging or whatever our problems are, we can start to dismantle the chain.
Plan for next time:
#1 - try to avoid fights with DH before mealtimes when I'm hungry anyway.
#2 - realize that it is not about "getting back" at dh, it is about changing my life for the better.
#3 - remember uncomfortable feelings and frustration with self AFTER binge.
#4 - vent in journal or online or to friend instead of eating.
