that voice in your head

 

So today, I was having a great day calorie and food wise. Everything I ate was healthy and I was on track.

Then, around 9pm, I just started eating everything in sight. I consciously knew it was a binge too, and I told myself "I have to stop, I'm not hungry" but that stupid voice in my head kept telling me it was okay to binge and to keep going.

I've been having a rough two weeks with binges, and I've put on a few pounds. I'm just mad at myself for not taking control and stopping when i KNEW i should stop.

sorry for the rant.

Ugh, I kind of did the same thing last night. I ate pretty healthy meals and since I had a heavier lunch, I ate a salad for dinner (a large one though with some protien). Then... I started snacking with a 100 calorie pack of something and ended with goldfish crackers about 500 calories over by reccommended intake! Yuck! I think mine is mostly because it's that TOTM, but I've been doing this for about a week, one day good, one day extra bad...I also recently went grocery shopping and when all that stuff is in the house, even when it's healthy, I just want to try a little of everything. All I can say is try your best to be good today. That's what I'm doing.

I totally can relate to what you said about going grocery shopping and then wanting to try a little of everything!!!!! I'm soo like that too.

I'm going to REALLY try not to mess up or binge today. 

food does not control me. I am in control of what I eat.

okay.

ready.

lol.

:]

I have a story called the Parable of Recovery that may help---

The first day, you are walking down the street and fall into a hole. It's deep and you are shocked and pissed. "Who put this here?!!" "It's all their fault I'm in here." You thrash around and throw dirt. Eventually you see a way out and climb out of the hole.

The second day, you are walking down the street and fall into the hole again. "well" you say, "I've been here before and know how to get out".

The third day, you walk down the street and see the hole, yet fall in anyway. "What here again. I tried not fall in."

The fourth day, you walk down the street and very carefully walk around the hole. You congratulate yourself for not falling in.

The fifth day, you walk down a different street.

 

le3 -i really liked the Parable of Recovery. I think if i keep that in mind I can stop bingeing :] thanks!!!
