[…] couple of weeks ago I wrote about my unexpected bingeing ‘adventure’. Full of confidence I said that it wasn’t going to happen anymore and that I was back on […]

It’s like I was reading my own thoughts. Just this weekend I binged a bit on cake, and I do not like very many kinds of cake (this was not one I particularly liked). I’m glad to know there are others like me out there, though I wouldn’t really wish it on anyone, so stay strong and keep working to find ways to combat it.

What a beautifully written piece. I suffered from a bout of bulimia for 2 years back in 2010-12 I was a horrible binger.
Keep wearing your courage on your sleeve. Your reaching out and helping others even if you cannot see it because it’s over shadowed by feelings of defeat.
Thank you for enjoying my letter to the gym.

so on either side of the world, the problems are the same. We fall in the hole, we realize we are there, and we figure out how to get out. I know you are going to figure this out. My son was at Queens day last year and he had the most amazing time of his life! He was the one in the orange tuxedo!

You are a brave lady. Your writing is honest and direct. I have seen so many patients with eating difficulties and the average person truly cannot understand. People see the “outside” of you. They see an attractive person that is likely intelligent based on your writings. They don’t understand the pain on the inside.
You know a lot of the right things to do. That is what I call the logical approach. The problem is the logical approach (by itself) is usually not enough to override the emotional component.
Finding a passion that you can turn to in times of “crisis” is a very effective step. Passion satisfies an emotional need. It is substituting one need for another. Even better, it substitutes an emotional need that rewards in a POSITIVE way with one that’s destructive (binge eating) in nature.
I apologize for offering suggestions without an invitation, however, I care about people and their happiness. Wishing you all the success possible on your journey.

I Have a horrible habit of binge eating. And another bad habit of mine is if I have a craving for one thing and try to eat something different, if I am not satisfied I will keep eating until I get ‘satisfied’ meaning, what I was craving to begin with. :/

Sorry what happened, but at least we all go through it and it is okay to recognize it and make changes:)
I enjoyed the read :)

Heel herkenbaar stuk. Toevallig heb ik deze week echt precies hetzelfde gehad. Vooral het stuk met je helemaal vol stoppen met dingen die je niet eens wil, maar er niks anders in huis is.

Ik doe met je mee en ga ook mijn cheats aanpassen.
