It starts out that I will have one thing that I believe my have ruined me for the day! like a power bar or something. Then I go nuts and start eating out of control! how can I stop this mindset. Does this happen to anybody else. I keep doing this and I get so discouraged. Tips please!

That happens to me all the time! so ur not alone on that one... i think the problem is when you have the first thing that puts you off for the day cause then it feels like a waste of time, when you've already ruined it.. so u just go out of controll! i have to try to think about whether im gna feel like that after eating something, so that i stop it happening in the first place. other than that just gotta try and force yourself not to go crazy

I know how you feel as we've all done it. BUT force yourself to take the next step and say, ok--logically I've eaten more than makes me comfortable (say a 280 energy bar)--tell yourself you understand how bad this makes you feel and that you recognize there is a part of you that totally wants to lose control at this point but then--tell yourself there is NO CHOICE but the one where you stop eating. There is no reason to add 1000s of cals to a day that might not have ended so badly. So you had an energy bar--water fast the next day and you'll feel fine but don't get caught in this cycle of binging and purging. It's horrible. I'm just getting out of a bad spell and it's really all just about mental control and discipline.
Good luck, little lady, you'll be ok....She starves herself to rid herself of sin
And the kick is so divine when she sees bones beneath her skin...Hey baby can you bleed like me?
