I've spent the past 5 days bingeing and bingeing and bingeing and bingeing.
How can my bingeing be a behavioral method of coping with stress when the only reason I've been bingeing so much is because I'm on vacation/have extra time/not much stress??? I'm terrified that I'm on the path of gaining all the weight back (like I did before). I'm just feeling extreme loneliness. I'm also starting to feel like I'm never going to be completely over this, ever. Even though I started recovering when I was 17. Erghhhh. I've just lost so much hope. So sorry if this was a trigger/really depressing for anyone :( Posted on 10/21/09, 04:10 pm |

Sorry youre in that bad patch right now. Know that many of us can relate to those slips that often happen most during vacation.
Vacation and lack of structure is suuuper diffiult for me in terms of bingeing. That's usually when I derail the most, because my mind isnt used for anything else and so the cravings go haywire. I know what you mean about feeling like youll never be over this. I'm 25 and not gonna lie- it's always gonna be something you struggle with. But you're getting stronger and more in touch with what works and odesnt work for you- and youll see the frequency of binges start to reduce over time. Youll start loving yourself more and not wanting to hide as much. you have free time-- take a journal an go sit by a pretty sight- a lake, a sunset, etc and write. Just keep writing and youll be amazed at what comes out on the paper. If you work out, then write down (writing always make something more real) when youre going to go for that workout even though youre gonna feel gross and fat for the first few minutes. You sound like youre in that rut and just need that thing to pull you out of it. Youll get throug this rut- and its a learning experience for you in that youre seeing waht your mind needs to stay produxctive and binge-free. Maybe go do something helpful for a friend/relative- community service always make u feel good and will take your mind off of things. Youll be ok. Stay strong
