| last night was another binge. it really sucks because i had been doing so well. the ironic part is i'm out of school now and have no more stress from finals, but do you know what's funny when you lose a source of stress? you find another one really quickly. geesh...i should have realized that. anyway, my day yesterday was so busy and crazy, but i had promised my friend that i would go to a graduation party even though i was really tired and kind of crabby. i'm the kind of person who really needs to be in the mood to socialize and drink, and usually i am, so it's not an issue. however, i knew that i was just not wanting to be there...but i went and didn't drink a lot but my friends got really drunk and i just told them i didn't feel well and i went home. when i got home, i should have identified that i was feeling tired from working all day, crabby that i wasn't out having fun, and kind of anxious that i dont' really know what i'm doing with my life and i'm graduating. instead, i just went to the fridge and went to town. since i have virtually no food left in my room because i'm moving, i had saltine crackers and cottage cheese, three packets of these gross goldfish crackers, a bag of caramel popcorn, a lean cuisine potatoes and broccoli, and microwave popcorn. and i knew the whole time i was in binge mode that i should just stop, but at the time my feelings were so overwhelming that i just wanted to stop thinking about them. of course i regretted it and today has been a better day. this morning i graduated and my famly came up. we went out to dinner at a restaurant and i got a healthy choice, and then afterwards for dessert, i passed on it and i just have been snacking on apples and microwave popcorn today. it's just hard because i still have this anxious, restless feeling in my belly about life in general, and i know that eating a shit ton of food isn't going to make that go away, but how can i convince my crazy binge-self that? grrrr! do any of you have any coping mechanisms as far as being aware of your feelings when you're eating. i think that's my biggest struggle that i definitely need to work on! good luck to all of you and hope all is well! |

| I totally commiserate with that. I hate eating big meals in the morning because it weighs me down all day. Instead, I eat small meals every 3 hours or so until dinner, when I eat a larger meal. But I digress...when I do overindulge in the morning, I tend to stick to oranges or apples the rest of the day, at least until dinner. Also a lot of water. The apples and oranges will fill you up but it won't leave you feeling deprived at all. | |||

| today i was so proud of myself. i'm in college and when i'm at school, i have structure that encourages me to eat healthy foods in moderation and i workout and it's great. but whenever i go home to my parent's house, it's horrible. they have so many bad things in their house and i always eat SO much no matter how many times I tell myself I won't. But today I didn't do that. I went home and I could only stay for about fifteen minutes because I was picking something up and I was STARVING. there was no one else home so this would have been a perfect opportunity for me to ransack the house and get all the naughty things and eat it. but instead, i drank a bottle of water, grabbed a banana, and left to have a real dinner with my family at a restaurant. i can't even begin to tell you how empowering that makes me feel. then tonight, i was studying for finals and i always get really edgy and stressed during study time, and i just felt binge mode starting to occur. but i actually took the time to ask myself if i was really physically hungry, and when i said no, i identified the feelings that i had. obviously stress about my final tomorrow, but more then that I had been thinking about what I'm doing this summer and how I need to think about a career and all of these thoughts just spiral out of control until all I want to do is numb them with food. Anyway, this post is really long, but these are major successes for me, and for someone who used to disengage herself all the time through bingeing, I am ready to continue with my small improvements. good luck everyon! | |||

| I am new to this discussion, but definitely not new to bingeing. :o) As a senior in college graduating in two weeks, I am so stressed with all of my papers and capstones and socializing...it is really horrible for my bingeing. My goal is to cut myself a little slack and if I do binge, do it on healthy foods. And maybe I can carve in a little time for exercise...but it's hard to do that when you know you have 40 pages worth of papers to write in the next two weeks. Yikes! In fact, I had better stop procrastinating and start working hard. Hope all is well with everyone here! Hope you're having a happy, binge-free day! | |||
