Safety Nets and Binging

[Guest guest]

Getting my Sweet Wild Child to stop binging.

It has been almost two weeks since we have binged I say " we " because

I honor I have three parts of me: my " sweet wild child " ….the part of

me that has been driven to eat until she's sick. My darling food

police girl….the part of me that gets carried away with dieting. And

the real me the Divine Watcher. Just thought I would share what's

working for me.

I have been reading a book call the Four Day Win and it says if your

SWC will not quit binging it's because she does not trust you will

take care of her. IE also believes this. So the last time I binged

which was almost two weeks ago the book suggested I spend at least

fifteen minutes telling my SWC how much I love her and how sorry I am

that I have brought her to a place where she feels she has to stuff

herself until we feel we need to puke. Then the book suggested I

relive the binge over and over and over again until I can do it and

feel peaceful and loving towards my SWC. We also did that.

Dealing with my binging part two………..

I have always been a safety net kind of girl. That in mind when I

decided we wanted to either stop our binging or atlesat lesson the

impact of the binges…I thought how can I accomplish that and honor

all three parts of me.

This is what my Divine Watcher came up with....

I asked Darling Food Police Girls, of all the things Sweet Wild Child

likes which do you not mind the most………..and her answer was, the

stevia hot cocoa she loves to drink . With that in mind I went to my

Sweet Wild Child and said would it be ok if next time after you have

had your hearts desire for dinner and are full but for some reason

are feeling compelled to continue to eat until were stuffed, stuffed,

stuffed, would it be ok if we accomplished that with the stevia cocoa

I know you love……….She thought about it for a while and said, I think

that would be OK.

So how have things been working.........great. We have not binged, I

do not consider the cocoa binging, for almost two weeks, And most

nights we have not had to medicated SWC with cocoa either......
