Having a very hard couple of days... could use some support

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I have been binge free for the past year or so... and this weekend I have two

big binges in a row. I think it is pointing at an issue that I still need to

work out. I took care of some friends kids the the weekend (I don't have kids

myself), and I have felt completely exhausted, drained, discouraged... which

triggered the binges. Instead of dealing with my exhaustion in an appropriate

way, going right to sleep when the kids went to bed, staying calm in the moment,

knowing that I only had them for the weekend... etc. I stayed up late eating.

And now, after it's over, i'm feeling on the one hand horrible, disgusting, like

i totally have undone any weight loss that i've seen recently... my usual

beating myself up behavior (from the past). But then there is the other side of

me feeling like this is pointing to an issue i haven't resolved... is it just

learning to have more strength and willpower when i'm exhausted? Any advice of

how to do this? Or is there a deeper issue that is looking to be resolved?

Thanks for listening, and would love your feed back. Already feeling a bit

better by posting this. Hope everyone is having uplifting, calming,

introspective days!
