  Hug

  From Mustbehappygirl November 19

  Hi Sunny Gal! What you just wrote to me I could just write back to you. That is my EXACT story. I lost about 20 lbs, went from 144 to 124 because I thought I "needed to". I did this by going on a strict diet and exercise plan, which is how I developed this binge eating disorder. Like you it consumes my entire life. When I have a "bad day" I feel so low and awful that I almost can't function. I get scared about what I'm doing to my body and to myself psychologically. More than anything, I'm most scared that binge eating is something I'll have to deal with for the rest of my life because I can't seem to break the cycle.
  
  Right now I'm on day 14 with no binging and all healthy eating. This is the longest it's been in over a year and I'm ecstatic about it on the inside. I do feel extremely fragile though, and know that any wrong move can throw me over the edge again and I'll be right back where I started 2 weeks ago. But the high I feel right now and have felt for the past few days is so worth this so I need to keep fighting.
  
  I think the answer for me is to not view my choices as either being a binge day or a day of strict eating. I need to find a happy medium, and I have been doing that these past few days. It's working.
  
  What makes it so hard and scary for us is that drug and alcohol addicts can vow to stay away from their substances, and can avoid situations where the substances exist (if they truly want to beat the addiction). But we can't. We need food to live, so it's a constant struggle.
  
  I am here for you. You and I got too thin and without knowing that this disorder even existed probably, it developed against our best intentions. We're stuck in a cycle and need to break it. More than anything we want to be happy and to accept ourselves for who we are. Hang in there, and I'm here for you!

  Hug

  From schwamystar November 4

  i just joined today and this touches me. i am giving my first hug to you. i will take my last dollar make an excuse to leave my house and go buy fast food pretend i didnt eat and eat again at home. I KNOW exactlly how you feel. why are we attached to food like it has SO much power over us to the point where when we are bingeing the thought to stop doesn enter our mind and if it does its to stop after we finish this first. i don know how to stop either. . . it scares me because i know when im alone and near the kitchen i will binge. im givin you a hug. my first hug. because you are worth it. WE can get through this. and we can get our lives back in real control.

  I know how frustrating it is to see so clearly how you want to change and yet feel powerless to do it. I go through the same experience of watching myself betray this desire each and every day. I have to believe that the effort is worth it, though, and that we'll finally start loving and accepting ourselves the way we need to in order to be able to escape this vice grip of addiction.
