I had a really good day today.  Yeah, I ate 500 calories more than my goal, but I also played volleyball for a couple hours to get some really good activity.  I am trying to fill my evenings with events that boost my mood and get me out of the house and away from food.  As long as I don't get overly busy and stressed i think it will be a good thing.  I wish my fiance didn't work 2nd shift and was around in the evening.  Then I wouldn't be alone and tempted to binge.  Oh well, at least I didn't binge today!

I just started on this website about a week ago.  I have had eating disorders for about 12 years.  I was an overweight kid and always desperate to lose weight.   I struggled with anorexia and bulimia in high school and the first couple years of college.  Then it gradually turned into Binge Eating Disorder.  I've been 240 pounds down to 165 pounds in a matter of 4 months and now I'm back up to 245 pounds 5 years later (with thousands of yo-yo diets in between).  I've tried outpatient treatment 3 times, but I don't really have the time or money for it.  I always have something else as a higher priority.  I'm a total perfectionist, so it is hard for me to let anything else slip in order to focus on getting better.  I was in a treatment program in MN, but just moved to KS for work.  Now I am trying to do it on my own.  This site has been a useful tool in keeping track of my daily food intake.  I was doing really well for a few days, but it's like the binging never really goes away.  It is just waiting to creep up on me when I am stressed, tired, bored, upset, all of the above.  The worst thing is that I just got engaged to the most wonderful man who loves me just as I am, but I'm not even excited for my own wedding because I don't think I can get control over my eating.  I want to be a normal size for my wedding & the rest of my life w/ him, and I definitely want to do it the healthy way.  I am so glad that someone started this support forum.  Maybe it will help.  Thank you!
