Hmm, there was certainly overeating this weekend, but not what I could exactly call binging. Many things that I have been doing to stop binging, such as making a big pot of tea to drink in the evenings, have become a habit, so I still did them and that kept me from degenerating to a full binge.

Definite binge today. It really is true that sugar is a drug, and eat a little and you want more.

I tried so hard with no sugar added. I am new ā€œagainā€ to sobriety and realized I was adding to much to my plate. So then I went to the other extreme and was binging on sugar. Ive had a weight loss surgery so I keep giving myself dumping syndrome and thats awful.
So here I am, on day one trying not to binge. Ive always been a binge eater. Thats how I got so heavy to begin with. It doesnā€™t matter if itā€™s sweets, salty, something I like or donā€™t like. I just use food to fill a whole within myself, calm my nerves, its there in good times and bad and never judges me.
Ive worked so hard on having a healthy relationship with food the last 1.5 years and the last 2 months getting sober again I feel like Iā€™ve lost that relationship and have to start all over. Actually I feel like Iā€™ve just failed, BUT I know intellectually I havenā€™t. Its just a set back.

Sorry to hear about your relapse, I hope you can get back on track. Donā€™t give up, if you need a break from sugar thatā€™s OK too. Do what you feel works for you in your recovery. :blush:

Hmmm well I didnā€™t binge yesterday but I did eat more than my fill. Im gonna call it a half win.
My husband cooked a wonderful meal as a celebration for my recovered health that I can return to work and to society general. I own that I enjoyed to much and should have stopped sooner and not had desert, but I will also acknowledge that I wasnā€™t hiding in the kitchen later just binging on the rest of the desert just because it was there and I was abusing the food.
