SO TIRED OF BINGE EATING

I'm so tired and done with it..it's ruining my life to the point where I don't want to live anymore.

Every time I tell myself to be strong, resist the urges...I GIVE IN. I binge on so much food to the point of being sick.

the worst part is having to go out to work the next day, feeling like absolute crap. feeling so fat and disgusting.

I don't want to do it anymore =( I don't purge...I just keep it all in...

ugh...

i feel ya sis, i'm in the same boat.

things i'm working on that's helped me:

- just wait. bread will exist my entire life, no need to eat it right now. if i think someone's going to eat the food i want, i'll hide it somewhere, but just wait.

- i don't have to do this. i want to put food in my body, but do i have to? does my body need food right now? recognize that you are feeling an urge to eat, but it's just a thought. you don't have to do anything.

forgiveness is also a big part, and don't be too hard on yourself. at the end of a really bad day, i'll remind myself that it's just a body, and i'm just a brain. it's kind of weird, but it helps.
