mustloose,

Being bingefree for three weeks is extraordinary.  Well done.  While it's hard not to compare your binges to the binges of others, you should try your best not to judge yourself (especially because we're usually so harsh when we do).  Whether someone binges on a box of oreos or a bag of carrot sticks, the act of binging is the problem and the calorie intake is a side effect.  It's destructive behavior either way.  Focus on how you've have gone three weeks binge free and what an immense accomplishment that is.

Do you feel much better and do you have more energy now that those extra 10,000 calories aren't dragging you down emotionally and physically?

Does anyone else pack really healthy lunches and snacks and end up eating everything during the first few hours of the day, so that by 2pm, you've consumed everything, feel really full, and now have nothing to snack on later in the afternoon when the sugar and chocolat cravings set in?  I do this all the time and it is so frustrating.  Any advice on how you've managed to pace yourself?  Even though the food I've packed for the day is all healthy and intended to be eaten, I consider not pacing myself to be the problem.  It feels like a binge.

I've had what seems like a life long problem with BED.  I've tried OA only to find that it's not my thing.  I've found this forum helpful in knowing I'm not alone in my unhealthy relationship with food.  I want balance in my life and that includes enjoying food and exercise -- neither binging nor being overly obsessive about "dieting" and fitness.

I've started a blog (brooklyn binger) to help me journal my journey to that "normal" place.  Where I can eat well and feel good.  Please come by and visit and comment.
