I want to binge...

sarahanncarson's picture

yesterday i did pretty good. i had a lot of negative feelings and wanted to binge, badly. i made it through the day, but this morning i still want to. i want to eat everything i can get my hands on. i know it won't do me any good but the urge is so strong. then i will purge and feel even worse. ugh... i did the stupidest thing this morning and weighed myself. i'm not any more or less than the last time i weighed myself but somehow i was still upset and disappointed. i guess that's because no matter what i will view myself as fat and weighing too much. i'm so afraid that today is going to be horrible and i won't be able to stop myself from a serious b/p.

I have days like this too.

I have days like this too. The best thing to do, for me at least, is to get myself outta the house. I will drive to the mall and just walk around, run up to Target or Kohls, drive to a outside trail and walk around. This is probably not what you feel like doing, but almost every time I do this, I feel immediately better once I'm out and doing something. Just keep telling yourself how much you will regret it later, if you do b/p. And usually for me a b/p leads to more b/p and I just feel completely hopeless for days. So giving in is NEVER worth it. All the negative feelings and emotions will not go away if you binge. :) I hope this helps, and GOOD JOB at fighting it off ALL yesterday. It's SO hard to do sometimes! Hang in there!

just acknowledge the action

just acknowledge the action of weighing, and then move on to living a future.

punkrocklibrarian » showme Hey lady trousers, how are you doing? Thanks for adding me. I hope you're doing well with your recovery. Don't let things like fluid retention or weight gain hinder you. What does it matter anyway? It doesn't change who you are. Self acceptance is the only way to full recovery - accepting yourself at any size - and surely you can see you deserve full recovery, a decent life and lasting happiness, regardless of how many stupid calories you eat?
