Hi everyone. Well let the stress begin. The kids are home from school today and pushing about every button I have. I have only been able to make it 3 days without a binge and since I am a poster child for stress eating today is not looking good. I am so going to try and be strong... get out and do something but housework is calling which means I need to stay put. I know what I have to do to stop a binge it just never seems to work for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all....Kelly

Big Hug Kelli!

You already recognized your triggers, time to lock the bathroom door and visualize the binge. Think about putting the food in your mouth, how it loses flavor after the 2nd or 3rd bite, how stretched and full your belly feels afterward, how the lethargy comes over and you cannot think, how incredibly awful it feels. Then think about how good it feels to be living in the moment with your children to not be full of food. If you have faith God will take a simple prayer of "Help". Set your boundaries. Lately it helps for me just to say, "You all are overstimulating me, I need quiet" and go in my room and take it.

You are valuable and beautiful, you deserve as much loving care as your family.
