road2recovery is aiming high

stop binge-eating (read all 9 entries…)
trigger.. 4 months ago

Ok so today is day 16. WOW i cant believe i’ve made it past 2 weeks! i’ve had a day or 2 of overeating but have not let that bring on a full on binge.
I’m starting to learn what causes my binges and try deal with the actual problem. The first thing is that i dont weigh myself very often, because if i was unhappy with what the scale said it wud often cause me to binge. I have also noticed how many unhappy and angry feelings i kept inside and ppl always used to ask me “whats wrong?”. i used to just say nothing but now i knw those feelings are like this poison i keep inside myself and i NEED to talk about them!!

for every 1 of us there are 100 girls out there with this problem who dont even realise its a problem. So i am proud of everyone on here for reaching out and doing something about it

the scale

Not weighing myself I think is a huge part of things. I stopped about 6 weeks ago and the relief is incredible. Because I dont have a deadline of when to lose weight by I dont dread what the scale says each morning because I dont have a time line. I just work on general health and know that the weight will come off slowly just by eating healthier. I was thinking about that last night when some friends called me up unexpectedly to go out for some fries and a beer. Before I would have possibly not gone because it would have affected what the scale would say in the morning or I would have gone and obsessed about how much I was eating and then binge. Instead I went out enjoyed my one drink and a few fries and my time with my friends! It was great not having to worry about what the scale was going to say this morning. It is hard to shake the feeling that so many things are bad and get used to just enjoying life without constantly thinking about food. Congrats on hitting the two week mark!
