at one point i couldnt walk into a grocery store without having a full blown panic attack. its much easier now but its definatly stressfull. when i walk into the grocery store im on a mission, either i grab all my favorite binge foods and wonder if everyone is staring at the choices ive made and thinking im disgusting for making those choices or i do the opposite and walk out with a bag of carrots and a few yogurts or something. i found it so much easier to have a shopping buddy at first (my husband or one of my daughters) it helped distract me a bit. now im at a point where im back to doing the weekly family food shop. as hard as it is i know that with every shopping experience im getting closer to getting better. i also stayed away from grocery stores for a while at first (many months) i needed a break from it. maybe you need a break too, anyone that could maybe help ya out with the food shopping? i think if you had a break then started back slowly with a shopping buddy that it might get easier for you. good luck to you.

Thanx Aimee for your advice. I haven't even told anyone i binge, am to embrassed plus i don't think they will have a clue what i'm talking about.

Yeah, I have noticed I do the same thing but the items I am looking for are only ones that I know will come back up easily. It is horrible. I find that my thought process is so screwed up regarding food and I need to somehow re-program my brain. I feel for you, believe me you aren't alone in that one.

i used to hate it. i'd always walk out with 1 or more binge foods that i knew i would eat as soon as i got home (or in my car if i wasnt walking). i would actually feel really really anxious from the moment i put the crap food in my carriage, to the moment i began to eat it cuz i knew i was setting myself up for a binge...awful feeling. the only way i could fix that is by making a list before i go and sticking to it. i dont buy any junk food except skinny cow ice cream sandwiches...which is how i like to end my day and i never eat them earlier.

atleast you realize you're making a bad decision and put the stuff back. it is aggrivating to go through that though. just stay away from those aisles, there's nothing worth eating there anyway.
