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
