I hate this feeling, I was ok yesterday having a great day and then just like that I was upset and the feeling to binge eat was what I was feeling. One of my dogs had to have surgery this morning and I don't mean to get upset. I just want this feeling to binge eat to go away. I hate when things make us upset and we feel like this. I need this to go away. So I will be ok with everything. I don't want to give into this feeling.
Sorry to hear about your dog needing surgery. Being upset about that is perfectly normal and should be expected. My Dr was sick and needed surgery a few weeks ago and it was very stressful for me. My eating definitely increased as I tried to understand all the feelings I was feeling.
Please be gentle and forgiving of yourself. Your coping mechanism is binging and when feelings get strong it's natural for you to turn to the one thing that has helped you cope...food. It will be OK Laya, you will get through this. ((Hugs))
I'm sorry you're struggling. I know it doesn't feel like it, but you are OK just as you are. It's ok to have good days and bad days and it's ok to feel upset too. Just remember to give yourself time and space to feel all of your feelings. You've got this, Laya!
