Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I'm lame and reposting this on the depression community page, too. I just really need some reassurance.
okay well i definitely just had a splurge moment and i'm writing in here trying to convice myself I won't be fat in the morning. Because, logically, I know that I won't. But the food addicted, body-conscious, eating disorder side of me is whispering in my ear "you messed up big time, you're going to regret this so bad tommorrow."
I think what scares me most is that it really wasn't THAT bad of a binge. Half an order of a chinese takeout dinner (split with my roommate), half a chocolate chip milkshake, and a little popcorn. i mean, that's not really a splurge just a very high calorie, high fat meal thaat I wouldnt normally eat. I know I sound ridiculous but I can't help but feel awful inside.
It's okay. It's okay.

I wouldn't consider that a binge. Your okay. It's a little high calorie but you split the dinner and the shake and there's nothing wrong with having some popcorn. Your okay. Why do you feel awful about it?

thats the eating problems coming out i guess. thats the worst part, I know that it isnt really a binge its just i can't not feel guilty about unhealthy food. it really is becoming a problem. my roommates arent helping either because i swear they eat like birds.

Nothing wrong with that. It's quite normal to eat things we shouldn't sometimes. Eating healthy tomorrow will erase any bad feelings you have. It usually does for me, but I don't have an ED. Be easy on yourself. Really doesn't sound like you went too overboard.

yeah, i agree -go easy on yourself. you don't deserve to beat yourself up for eating something not that healthy. yeah, that would make it tough if your roommates hardly eat.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
