Day 7 major fuck up 7 months ago

Today I binge ate like mad. Its shit. I cant talk to my bf, hes got too many problems of his own. its like i cant talk to anyone. i hate my dad. my mum’s hysterical. my bf’s mum is always pointing out my food habits. in the end i had a massive chinese, so many crackers. so much rice, so much noodles, so much beef coated in sauce, so much shit. i would need to stop eating for a whole month to be back on track. im a mess. i just want to die. hate living at my bf’s parents. i think i should move out but just hav no money. b4 my binge madness. i felt so weak, so weak i couldnt get out of bed. it was such an effort. i got up at 4 30 ish am in this morning. my sense of balance is a complete fuck up and on top of that someone i really care abt treats me like shit. i think thats partly fucking me up/

i guess i need to get some balance. im so anxious. my room’s a mess.
i think if i write down what i eat in my diary i wont feel so shit, and i feel i know what ive eaten and then wont hav th feeling i havent eaten enough because i feel so weak/

at the moment the world feels grey and like its goin to get worse and like theres no exit. i just want to die. i dont want to fck up even more. the closer it gets to my deadline the worse it gets. and i hate fcking up

structure is what i need and completely cut out snacks. i let snacks in and that didnt work, i lost my sense of what i need to eat completely. im goin to revert back to my old diet.

breakfast (300)
lunch (300)
diner(400)
and 200 cals extra for milk

im just worried im goin to binge eat again. i dont want to. and i dont want to lose all my muscle. i hate evrything. i want to go to sleep and not wake up.

see how it goes. i think the problem also is, that im not exercising , so i feel my muscle in my arms is goin. which is why i reverted to crazy binge. because my body is not used to it its goin mad.

structure -get up at 5 am
read until 10:00
Go to gym -exercise -aim to exercise for 45 mins (read whilst on treadmill if can)
come back
12:00

im just worried im goin to binge eat again. i dont want to. and i dont want to lose all my muscle. i hate evrything. i want to go to sleep and not wake up.

nobody likes me, life feels like a deception. i dont fit in and im just som flotsom on the sea, being thrown abt.

List of journalling 7 months ago

Attempt Day 4
Today was horrible, I felt so weak. but yet i havent faltered. however i can feel sometimes the binge mountain building, usually hits once week -friday is the worst day. and the weekend. during the week im busy being in college.

but yes, it has been horrible, ive had so much coffee. i think its the stress triggering. im so stressed with work, with my lack of decisisiveness.

im not sleeping much and not having time for myself

also, the fact that im trying to eat the minimum within the nutritional daily requirements. and i suppose that makes me more hungry.
but i am keeping eating properly. i just need to journal when i feel im going to crack! its so hard


Stop comfort eating (read all 3 entries…)
Attempt Day 2 16 hours ago
This is working so far. Although I havent done any sit ups or running today! The weather is awful outside.
I had 2 cups of coffee (one with triple shots of coffee -not spirits ha ha)
Had 3 square meals. I think if you set yourself that these are goin to be your only food times, ur body probably starts to regulate and doesnt feel hungry outside meal times eventually. Also you dont feel so guilty about eating a normal sized meal because you know thats all your goin to have, and youd have more if you skimped on it and started engaging in snacking.
I think thats what I used to do, Id go to myself, ahh, its alrite, i wont much of that, its alright not that hungry, but then if you start to do that, your body goes crazy after a week or 2 or 3, because it doesnt know when a meal is a meal and a snak is a snak and it all becomes one big jumble of confusion into a binge eating craze of confusion and comfort.
I could have fallen today, and i probably will, but its all about consistency -thats what makes us, not the lows or highs (they’re just bonuses).



Attempt Day 1, 2 days ago
Ok, so today is a fresh start
(I went out for a run yesterday evening, but came back in the end as I realised it was a bad idea wih car alarms going off etcc -so today I will go for a run in the morning instead! -daylight time is the time to be going)
I just had breakfast and Im going to try not to snack between meals. Im going to try and identify my emotions before attempting to eat outside meals/ snack times. Im not allowing myself any snacks today as I binge ate yesterday. I will post these thoughts before i get a crazy food comfort urge and divert and force myself to do something else, or distract the focus away.
Strategy
i.e.
drink water
do 5 sit ups
listen to music
pray (?) (this is just for me, im not bible bashing or anything, i hate bible bashers -besides i could be any religion -buddhist so ha -no prejudice needed )
if not work or feel like so, write entry
strategies i wont be able to use
i dont have a cash to call my boyfriend
I dont have time to watch dvd as have too much to do -which is why im binge eating in 1st place, shit scared

Today blabber and thoughts, not necessarily relevant, personal journal on how to deal with the shit of binge eating overtaking my life 2 days ago
I think I will try this. Im just putting so much weight back on because I binge eat because I feel scared and shit and Im overwhelmed with work for my end of year deadline. It makes me feel like shit.
Food just immediately makes you feel better, but then I feel like complete shit because Ive eaten so much and Im just putting more weight on, and becoming fat.
I will now go for a 40 minute run. I dont know how, but I will try, even if I cry and breakdown or get raped. I dont care, i hate being fat. Anything is better than being fat. I hope I dont offend anyone by this, I dont view anyone else as fat.
I hate food, its pointless, it fucks me up and makes me so fat its disgusting. I stuff my face like a greedy pig when I binge eat.
I think I will try listening to the music thing when I feel the urge to eat like crazy at meal times and write stuff down and maybe type it up here.
I really dread this run. Ill write after the run. Maybe starting a blog relating to my struggle with binge eating my help?
Ok will go for a run now. I suppose being positive is also important. Im so negative and that is part of my problem.
One thing about writing on the internet is feel conscious that Im going to piss someone off, but then again, noone knows me, so ha. If you dont like it you dont have to read it

I do this because I’m bored and the meals that I do eat aren’t very filling or nutritious. I’m out to change this in 2009



Life is much better when you are healthy!!! 12 months ago

I recently lost 45 pounds!! How? I stopped comfort eating. Something in my life replaced the desire for junk food, and inspired me to reach my goal. Now however for no apparant reason, I have noticed myself turning back to food. I am trying to analize why this is happening. I am aware of it, and want to stop it before the pounds creep back on. I feel so much healthier being thin, and I need to regain control of my cravings.

The cookies are for the kids, the cookies are for the kids.... 14 months ago

This must become my new mantra, to be repeated every time I go near the freezer and feel myself reaching for the bottom drawer where the cookies are. I did a huge batch of baking on Friday, enough to see them through for a few weeks if their fat, greedy mother keeps her hands off!



Fat 15 months ago

What can I say?

I never used to have this belly but then I again I never used to worry so incessantly!



Comfort eating 15 months ago

I no longer comfort eat. I don’t know when I stopped but it obviously some time after the goal was entered. I didn’t intentionally try to stop so much as experienced a personality /physical change where being upset now makes me lose my appetite. Yay. If I could be miserable for a good month or so I can achieve my other goal of losing twenty pounds.
