An individual suffering from a food addiction disorder frequently experiences episodes of uncontrolled eating, or binging, during which they may feel frenzied or out of control. They will eat much more quickly than is normal, and continue to eat even past the point of being uncomfortably full. Binging in this way is generally followed by a period of intense guilt feelings...
i always feel guilty about bingeing, but i have found for myself that fighting it makes it worse and i end up eating more...it is like a viscious cycle. i know in the back of my mind that there is an end in sight.
however, since i joined DS, i have found coming on here during bad moments makes those moments a little easier...
This helped me a lot.
Peace,
Nicol
I am moving on today and focusing on what i can do, not what i can't. That in itself has shifted my mood.
I love the idea of writing myself a letter next time i do binge, its sounds such a sensible thing to do.
I feel prepared for the next time a mood like that hits, thanks again
Kindness shouldn't depend on how "well we're doing." On a diet, on a number, on our newest scheme to make our bodies obey us.
It shouldn't be alive just because we didn't binge today. And it shouldn't fall into retreat if we relapse.
Nourishing the spirit is an essential part of life outside of Food Addiction.
So, be kind to yourself, and be proud every single day that you are.
And I wasn't trying to infer that by simply sucking it up and slapping a smile on everything would be okay. It was simply one suggestion, of many, that perhaps negative self-talk would only feed into more binges.
