    Default Low

    So low at the moment, I have tried to get away from binge eating but I just can't and it's really getting me down, I get through half the day then just change. I hate myself for this because I am tired of waking up and looking in the mirror only to see fat and love handles.
    I just want to give up - well I don't but I am tired of being a failure, but I really don't think I can be anything else

    I've felt just like that so many times, and still do most of the time. Sometimes it seems so stupid to hope that anything will change, but there's nothing else to do.

    Don't think of yourself as a failure. We've all done really horrible, stupid, ridiculous things in the past. The past sucks, try to let it be. Think of how strong you will be when you no longer need to binge, things will feel ok one day.

    Next time you feel like bingeing, you can come to the forum or PM me, talk about how you're feeling

    hang in there countingribs.
    we ALL have binges at some point... you've just got to think that once it is over, that is a fresh start.

    try setting yourself the goal of not binging for just one day.
    keep busy, do some work, some exercise etc, to take your mind away from it.
    and then when you have done it and you know its achievable, you can do it the next day too, and it will be easier because you know that it is possible... do you see what i mean?

    and over time, you'l be able to get yourself out of the cycle.


    try keeping a diary of your days and what you eat.

    be totally honest with yourself and write down how you felt when you ate- it might be hungry, or bored, or sad, or frustrated.

    and using that diary you wll be able to work out what triggers your binges, and then youl be more able to keep yourself out of that situation.


    try taking up a new hobby
    and when you feel like bingeing, practice that other thing instead... and as you get better at that new thing you will be able to see how far you have come in not bingeing.

    and always remember that we are here to talk.
    this forum is here for you to vent your emotions all the time, and get support when you need it.

    piglet, I really like your suggestions. They're things I sorta know, but always forget. I forget to take things one day at a time, especially.

    countingribs, hope you're doing well and feeling strong

    hi x

    If it help i know what you feel like the past 3-4 days i have been binging non stop ..... i binge eat when i am really down ... i suffer from depression and SI ...... and over time have come to realise that i only binge eat when i am feeling extremely depressed....... my attitude is 'well im fat and ugly and life is terrible and i want to die etc. ..... why not eat ? why not make yourself feel worse' ..... and over time realised that i binge eat to make myself feel WORSE... i knowing ly force disgusting food down my throat knowing that in a minute i am going to feel 100 times worse .. then i carry on going until i want to die ... and its all down to feeling bad to begin with ...

    Anyway ... i know it sounds supid but try and distract yoursefl ... get out of the house ... do some art work .... but really the best advice is just get out of the house .... and dont come back until you feel alot better ..... you'll see when you have a good day you will be able to look at the food and think ... there is no way im putting that into my mouth and walk away laughing !

    Wow sorry i rambled lol i guess i can relate to hoe you feel ..... <3 Stay Strong ! you are better than that food ! x N x
    * Sometimes I am hungry. I'm always hungry. But when I don't eat I feel good. Pure. I feel empty and it's wonderful. I feel so powerful. Like I could fly. *
