So yesterday I was depressed af, I meditated from 4am-8pm on and off, but I couldn’t escape the suicidal ideation. At 8pm I had managed to get through the whole day with just 3 shakes, and I wasn’t hungry so I can’t blame my crisps binge on that, it was purely so I could watch some episodes of TV to distract from how I was feeling. I need to seperate the two bc TV really helps. I don’t watch much of it at all, but there are certain programs throughout the year that I do like. I didn’t enjoy the crisps, and my stomach hurt halfway through the first bag, but I made myself eat all 4 bags as punishment. My fasting blood glucose this morning was the highest it has ever been, so no more crisps!

I forgot to mention in my check-in yesterday, I always save my favourite flavour til last (salt & vinegar), but when I started the last bag, I realised I’d got the ‘lightly salted’ flavour instead. This left me craving for the right flavour. Even though I’d literally just eaten a protein porridge at 8pm last night, instead of going back to the bedroom to try to sleep, I got ready and went to the fkin shop instead. I bought 2 bags, I also bought 2 sandwich sub things, even though it was white bread which I never eat and also a festive sausage roll, mango, and greek yoghurt.
Surprise surprise, my level is again, the highest it has ever been!..23.4!
A total ban from the shop is once again in place, and I will try again, as always.

Eating is going ok. I had a time I was a bit upset and rage-crunched more cereal than I would have liked, but I geared it back down with fruit and tea and then my usual dinner. I have also been exercising steadily so that is a plus.

I rarely comment and am not sure if it’s appropriate. I don’t think it’s helpful to even check your sugar after a binge. Reading this feels like an additional punishment. You don’t have the right medication for a binge. So you punish yourself another time in the morning. Yeah, see, I fucked up again. I cannot even manage my sugar. This is a fucking vicious cycle. I know it. Just my thoughts from the diabetes front.

I appreciate your thoughts, and I agree, it is another form of punishment. I think I do it to try to shock myself into not bingeing again.

My neighbour is t2d and won’t get a sensor paid as he isn’t on insulin. As a family they decided to invest on paying for the sensors themselves as he is more motivated to keep his numbers in range and eat accordingly. It’s probably not the correct treatment for you on the ED side. It doesn’t treat the why but the symptoms. It’s a tough thing this ED and diabetes adds another layer of guilt to it. It can help to get some motivation, though.

I just came from all inclusive holiday and my eating there was out of control. I wish we didn’t have all inclusive but we couldn’t find any other package. So even though I managed not to binge today, especially now I’m going to bed a bit hungry after the travel back home, but I’ll reset my clock anyway and start fresh (hopefully)

1 day no crisps, no binge-eating.
I broke the cycle, but to do so I had to buy some meals. Up until now I have been okay having meals in my fridge, but not anymore… I ate 1 at 1am and another at 5am. This is ridiculous. I don’t eat when I wake up during the night when my only option is shakes. I wish I could sleep through but I never have.

This! 
Been there, done that, for years!! I’ve changed my strategy, and somehow I’ve been binge free for 10 days (after +25 years). I’m still a bit surprised!
@CATMANCAM Cam, I hope you find and try a new strategy, cause reading your daily posts it’s clear that your are very stuck in a hamster wheel! I hope you don’t get me wrong.
Thanks for sharing Franzi!

You cannot deal w deep seated trauma by strategy change. You have to address it in a therapeutic relationship. He’s doing that.
It’s a two sided approach as I’ve said a few times above, managing the addiction while you get to the pain. But as long as the coping mechanism is needed cos the pain is not processed, it won’t go away.
