Oh god. I feel AWFUL.

To be honest, I've never binged this bad before. Never to the point of feeling like I'm going to puke. 

Now, I'm trying to think like a man like this one video said. Basically, get over the fact that you just went "off rail" on your diet, and just move on. So I have. Mentally, I'm OK, and I realize I made an oopsie by binging tonight. It's not something I should make a habit, and I probably should educate myself more so I can work harder on preventing it in the future.

But.. I feel like I'm going to puke. I've eaten so much food.. so much BAD food. I would give more info, but.. ugh, my stomach feels so bad right now. Talking about what I ate doesn't change a thing but make my stomach feel worse. I still have to do the dishes before I go to bed, is there anything I can do to ease the queasiness?

And is there any articles you can direct me to that can give me more info on binges? This isn't my first time, and I've heard so much about the "distract yourself" stuff to stop you from binging, but I think if I knew more of the psychology of binging, or just more in detail about it, I can be well informed and be able to see signs and stop it before that little voice in my head tells me to devour anything in sight.

Thank you in advance~! :)

hey,

try to lay down and put a hot water bottle on your stonach. maybe sip some warm tea if you feel comfortable enough . i know it is late, but after a certain time a slow walk helps my stomach.

I find when I'm disgustingly full, laying down actually makes me feel worse.. like all the food is just sitting there like a rock. I bet after you do the dishes and get moving around a little bit, it will settle down a bit, and once the food starts to digest, you'll feel even better.

Sip some water or tea and once you've done the dishes, sit down and watch tv/read/something to take your mind off going "YUCK I FEEL SO YUUUUCK" and you'll find in an hour it'll all be over :)

Take care

Ginger is good for nausea. I know it's late, but a cup of warm ginger tea (or just hot water spiced with ginger) will help you. Clolitaa's suggestions are wise too: a hot water bottle on your stomach, lying down or a slow walk around. Peppermint tea and fennel teas also help with wind and bloat.

Sometimes we binge because there's not enough balance of the food groups in our diet. So, make sure you're getting enough protein, fats, carbohydrate, fruits, veg and dairy/dairy alternatives. Also assess if you are getting enough calories on a whole. Not eating enough can result in a binge. For distractions, aim for things not related to (a) food and (b) compensatory behaviour. A distraction in the kitchen or with food can trigger further bingeing or guilt.

Compensatory behaviour is anything that'd burn some of the calories of your binge. Dancing about casually in your room or a slow easy walk around the neighbourhood or a local park (make sure it's safe to do this), or some light exercise like yoga/pilates are okay, but no going and burning a load of calories. Other ideas are to draw, tidy, write, read, blog, call a friend, play with one of your pets, or talk to a family member.

Do remember that overcoming mindset. A binge is a binge and everyone slips up sometimes. No beating yourself up. Feel better. :]

Thanks guys! I got out of dishes since I told my mum that I was feeling not-so-good, but I ended up laying down in that head in the pillow-butt-in-the-air position. (Works wonders for cramps, apparently it really helps for tummy uneasiness too..)

lalabanana - That makes sense! :0 I think the culprit was the day before as I did some extra exercise, and only listened to my tummy that day, so I probably didn't eat enough calories.. That binge must've been my body's way of making up for it. Ah well. I'll have to try and find a list of things to do when I start feeling like I'm going to binge, and be more strong willed! :D

But defiantly no more binges for me. That was awful!  Well, a new day ahead! Whee~.
