My own VICIOUS CYCLE
I was up every hour last night with cramping diarrhea. We were celebrating my 8yr olds birthday with a cookout where I ate 1 1/2 pineapple brawts (with buns), chips and dip, raw veggies with hummus, and TONS of chocolate cake with buttercream icing. THEN, guess what I eat tonight??? Leftover pineapple brawt and a HUGE piece of chocolate cake. When I woke up today I felt like I had been out drinking till 3 am...I'm assuming that's why I ended up eating so poorly again today. It's dangerous when I'm too tired. It's my own VICIOUS CYCLE. I could probably be feeling really good by now if I could stick to a diet. I'll do really good for a few days and then I binge. It's so depressing. It's been an issue from as long as I can remember. I know I talk about it ALL the time in my journal entries. I feel so good, both mentally and physically, when I eat well...you'd think I'd do it all the time. I do not want to spend my life battling with myself. I read that it is impossible to have room for love when you obsess over something. I know for me, my relationship is never its best when I'm struggling with food and frequently binging. I want happiness to come easy...it's never seemed to. I want to no longer have to numb myself with food...or anything. I want to always live in the moment.
