Guest guest Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 that's awesome! that you were able to face your feelings without using food as a too.. really great!go rachel! Hi : WAY TO GO!! Thanks for sharing your 'success story'. SUE > > Wow, I just experienced definite proof that IE is working (slowly!) and just have to share, because I am feeling great about it! > > Today I had a doctor's appointment, and they weighed me. I haven't weighed in quite a while because I didn't want to know how much I have gained, because I didn't want to trigger restricting again. But there it was, right in front of my face, no hiding. > > So I silently freaked out all the way home, stopping at the store to engage in typical freakout behavior...I started picking up binge foods. Cupcakes, chocolate...it was bad. As I was heading to the counter with all of my loot, I suddenly thought about how horrible I would feel after I ate it, and how the last time I had one of the particular foods I was holding, it didn't even taste very good. And then, I just put it all back and walked out. I know, right?!? > > I was still freaking out and was actually physically hungry, so I went home and had a bowl of high fiber cereal with raisins and cinnamon. And that's it. And now I'm satisfied. As I sit here, the urge to binge has passed. > > This is huge for me! The best part is, it feels like the consciousness is coming on its own now, after having had to sit and force it so often... it's like the voice telling me to binge was suddenly drowned out by the voice reminding me how bad it will feel later, and how I don't even really like the foods I was craving. > > I know that I can't expect all days to be like this forever, but I'm feeling very encouraged.
