after months of doing so well... i have succumbed to binging again today... help me...
after about 7 months of clean eating and losing 15 lbs through healthy eating and exercise, i had a binge today... a very very unhealthy junk food binge. so today's total caloric intake totaled to about 3500 calories. and i'm soooooo bummed out right now. I feel sick to my stomach and my stomach literally is sticking out like i'm 6 mths pregnant. I know that I will go back to healthy eating tomorrow, but I just feel really bummed, and I'll probably have gained like 5 lbs by tomorrow due to water weight and such... and i'll be all swollen for the next couple of days because of that.
I need some serious words of consolation.... =( I feel like crying...
Are there people out there who have gone through recovery (I used to have anorexia and binge eating disorder) and have had days where they have fallen off the wagon?? What did you do to motivate yourself and pick yourself back up again??
I am so sad right now...
is there anyone that is willing to be my healthy eating/exercise buddy online?? So we can hold each other accountable? Update each other everyday and such?? :)
i fell off the wagon today also. it feels terrible, but i've been through a lot of therapy for my ED and i know how to cope now. also, this is a quote i saw on CC that keeps me motivated through the tough times:
"In my many years of being on this earth, I have come to believe that 3 words sum up life: it goes on."
-Robert Frost
hey! i'd love to be a healthy eating/exercise buddy with you. i used to be bulimic and binge eating disorder, and i was all clear for about 3 years, but i've fallen back into binge eating again... i think because i'm feeling absolutely lost, and in lack of social support right now, cause i'm studying in a foreign place and i'm halfway around the world from my family and close friends.
I've been eating between 4000~7000 calories almost every single day for 2 weeks now, and i've gained about 5~7 pounds since this started. I really would love to have someone hold me accountable! And hey, you've got a headstart cause you're recognizing that you need to pick yourself up right off the bat! (i had to wallow around for two weeks before i finally made an appointment to see a counselor and a dietician.) if you'd like to do a mutual support thing, message me? (:
First off, congrats on your 7 months of clean eating and losing 15 lbs! I look up to you and anyone else who can be bingeless for more than a week. Unlike me, my maximum binge-free days can only be 2 or 3 days. I do extremely well for 2/3 days and then BAM! I binge. Wait... I'm lucky if I have a day where I don't binge! For these past few weeks, I've been binging everyday. It's making me feel hopeless and I am now about to just give up.
I feel your pain. Infact, I'm feeling the physical pain of binging right now. Because I've just stopped binging on 5 servings of oat bran, a large can of kernal corn, and 32 mini freezies. Gosh, my belly is super big. And it hurts. D:
Every morning, I never want to eat breakfast because the day before I would have had a binge. Yesterday I had a binge on 2,600 calories. So this morning I didn't even want to eat breakfast because I was still so full. But my mom made me eat 2 pieces of toast with pb. I wish I can eat like a normal person. -sigh-
If you want, you can message me. I'm willing to be your healthy eating/excersize buddy! I'm 16 so I'll probably sound super annoying or really immature. :P
