Yesterday I did fine until late evening. After the kiddies were in bed, I had 2 gerber kid dishes of goldfish, 2 100cal packs cookies, one regular pack cookies (like 240 cals) serving of ice cream, 2 glasses of wine...I think thats all.

This morning I woke up first with the "screw it lets have a big fatty, eating fest today" attitude. First I had to rope in this out of control, I already blew it feeling. But then it always swings in the oposite direction...

I then wanted to starve myself for the day to "make up for" over eating the night before. This old game is one I've played for nearly 15 years. Binge followed by COMPLETELY giving up and eating out of control for days, even weeks... OR binge followed by the feeling to starve to balance out the binge.

Today I walked the line. I dod not allow myself to continue binging today. And I did not allow myself to starve. I ate as I normally do.

FYI, TOM started yesterday, and that's always known to trigger binges for me.

Anyway, small victory today in my life long battle against binging/ starving/ unhealthy relationship with food.

I struggle mightily with the very same feelings and actions. I know it sounds feeble, but it is really good to read another person getting thru it. I worry about that a lot. I will do like you and not overcompensate or give up (my usual answer). Maybe your goal was just to talk it out, but sometimes you make a lightbulb go off in another's head. Thank you.

Small victory my toosh! It takes a lot to overcome your predispositions. You did great by not giving in to your typical, unhealthy responses. That's a HUGE step! The next time you get that same feeling, you can look back and say, "I made it last time. I'm going to make it this time, too."
