Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Christy -- that's awesome! my guess is if you just remember the physical pain, you'll be a lot less likely to do this again, with no " help " needed from the food police! way to go in taking a negative and using it as a positive learning experience! your body will show you the way! Hey all,I binged tonight...for the first time in a very long time, for weeks. I know why: I'm PMSing, I had a long day at work, and I was frustratedthat I was unmotivated to get what I wanted to accomplished done. And so I ate more than my fill at dinner. I wasn't satisfied emotionally,so I kept snacking and now my stomach is in such pain. Before, when I've binged, I've been heartsick about it; now I'm just sick to my stomach! I'm trying to keep the food police at bay, and Ihope that as I pinpoint everything I can take ownership of it andforgive myself. I did lie down on the floor, doubled over because my stomach hurt so much, and remembered all of the times that I would beat myself up overeating like this...all the pain of it. And I realized that I don'tfeel that tonight. It has no power over me anymore. I just regretthat my stomach is making me feel so uncomfortable!! Haha. Ah well...tomorrow is a new day, and there's always the Pepto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Congratulations on treating yourself well and taking the binging as a sign that you need more loving self-care and understanding - not punishment! Sorry to hear that your stomach is aching, and I hope it feels better soon. > > Hey all, > I binged tonight...for the first time in a very long time, for weeks. > > I know why: I'm PMSing, I had a long day at work, and I was frustrated > that I was unmotivated to get what I wanted to accomplished done.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Congrats! I think realizing that food no longer has power over you is one of the most important things you can feel. What an accomplishment to binge and then move on to the next day and even realize why you did it. Binge or no binge...this is a success! It's funny that I should read this today. I go to a weekly body image group and last night we had a nutritionist come in and she was a big advocate of IE and she talked a lot about how we see food as being alive and having power over us when it's exactly the opposite. And I honestly had never thought of it like that before. It was refreshing to hear and it was nice to read this email this morning as well. so thank you for posting.
