AliMWelt Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 i have issues with binging- I binge to calm myself down when very stressed/anxious. I am very stressed/anxious atm and was starting to binge but stopped myself. Now, that should be good right? But, I feel guilty. I feel like I deserve to be fat and gross (logically, I know I don't) but that I deserve to be punished....anyone have any tips on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlylight1 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 oh hun. i think you did really well to interrupt the cycle. i'm sorry you feel bad even tho you managed it but i think it is understandable. it seems binging has been you coping mechanism and also your way to punish yourself. if you stop that then you are bound to feel a bit lost. i think it all comes down to low self esteem. i wish there was a quick way to get good self esteem i'm not sure how you do it but i think acceptance and learning how to nurture and comfort ourselves with positive self talk plays a part. take care xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unlucky Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I'm just trying to allow myself one binge a day at the moment, like one episode where I'm allowed to eat crap. And the rest of the time I have to follow my meal plan. I'll see how it goes, but I know how hard it is. I think the answer is to try and cut down slowly, even though it seems pointless and a waste of time to do it that way, I think that is the only answer? So if you only binge once a day already, try and allow yourself only half of what you usually have in a binge. But any other tips would be great!
