Thank you so much! I wont let this effect me tmrw. Im getting back on track as of right now. I am disappointed for sure but i am also proud of myself for the days that had and in being able to stop eating when i realized i was binging. I didnt overdo it. I went thru my DBT book and did a Behavioural Chain Analysis form which is basically going step by step thru ur binge and then realizing what i could have done instead. So im learning from this as im doing it

I wasnāt sure if I had BED but Iāve decided to try to go 30 days without binging and yeah, I think I do. Iām on day 3 and having really strong cravings to binge. Iāve caught myself twice at what would typically be the beginning of a binge, and successfully didnāt continue. But I did overeat for the day. But I canāt focus on that at the same time so I am just focusing on not binging.

Back to Day 0 with being binge free. I realized what happened after the fact. Im still learning how to use my DBT skills in the moment. I know the more i practice them, the easier it will be for me to use them when I need them the most. Binge event happened yesterday evening and so today i have already been working on my program to get back on track.

Hi group.
Holiday at Croatia gives me freedom from thinking about food, because due to mine and my boyfriendās busy itinerary, we have no time to eat here three times a day so we ended up having a breakfast, small snack or ice-cream in the afternoon and later evening/night big dinner.
Iām realising that this eating habit canāt be healthy, because weāre eating big portion of food before night time after being hungry for the whole dayā¦ However, it is bringing me benefits, which are surprising to me, because I would not expect them:
-
My stomach is flat during the day, when Iām not bloating from different food, even my ABS on which Iām working hard long time are visible and so I feel confident walking in short t-shirts exposing my belly button.
-
Iām not hungry when I do stuff and walk around and discover, hence I donāt think about food at all! Itās such a mental break from normal days when I think about food almost constantly. Maybe I eat most of the time out of boredom

I binged today after 8 days clean, trying to go 30 days without a binge. My partnerās parents are in town and his chronic health conditions were flaring up, and I had purchased a cinnamon loaf cake and ended up eating half of it when I got home for the night. It was a bad decision to bring it into my house, and I feel disappointed that I chose to deal with my anxiety in this way. But Iām going to just keep trying, see if I can beat this streak.
