Recovering from a binge and treating myself with kindness the next day

[Guest guest]

Last night I had a few bad binges and went to bed feeling really awful about

what I did. I think my trigger was that I had a lot of math hw and studying that

I was dreading and trying to procrastinate on. I prayed to help me forgive

myself for the havoc I imposed upon my physical and emotional health, which

helped a little, but I promised myself I'd post here tomorrow to prevent further

self-sabotage.

Pre-IE, I'd feel so bad about a " bad day " that I'd perpetuate the same behaviors

for days and days thereafter, as a way to punish myself or something idk? But

today, I pledge to the group that I'm really going to focus on self-care today.

Sometimes, when I feel " out of control " with my food and know at any moment I

could just snap and start binging, I lay out a tentative meal plan for myself.

Is that against the rules of IE? It tends to help...so that's what I'm doing

today: laying it out and not eating in front of any distractions to really taste

every bite. All this while emotionally coddling myself like I were my own

daughter. What do you guys think? How do you guys recover after a binge?
