Very helpful! Thank you. I relate to this a lot and think I have a problem with binge eating as well.

Hello, I am very interested as I would definitely consider myself a binge eater or extreme dieter depending on the week. Learing how to use the app still so hopefully I am responding and doing this right and can come back and find it.

You can set a bookmark at the end of the thread, so you can find the thread in your profile. That way itâs a little easier to find it again 
May I ask what your binge pattern is?

48 days smoke free, 27 binge free, 6 sugar free.
Yesterday I had the urge for overeating. I managed to hold strong by getting creative and sewing something lovely. Creative work really is one of the best ways for me to stay engaged and distract myself.
Have a peaceful and sober day everyone!

Hello guys
I havenât posted for ages!
Since I returned from Vietnam (approx 2 weeks ago) I was doing ok(ish). Not perfect, but not too bad either, somewhere in between I guess. Until yesterday when I binged. My work ordered pizza for everyone and some cakes and I went over my limits there and later at home as well. Then I had bad acid reflux and stomach pain at night. It felt like if my stomach was dissolving from the acid 
Today I woke up feeling crap - physically and mentally.
Last weekend I was listening a podcast called âDefeat your cravingsâ, which I mentioned here a few times, and I made notes for myself. I wrote down the questions the doctors is asking his âpatientsâ to answer them for myself and try it this way. I didnât get around to do it until today. I answered them, wrote everything down and I feel very confident now that I will stick to my one rule so far, which is that I will never eat sugar again, except for fruit, a small bowl of granula with yoghurt or porridge. I can also have 1 piece of bâday cake if at some bâday party. I want more rules, but I will take it one step at a time, I donât want to overwhelm myself.
I am also still waiting to have a therapy. They updated me via email a couple of days ago that they are looking for a suitable therapist for my eating disorder. If it all goes well, the therapist will have an easy job 
I would also like to share that on Tuesday I learnt that I am in risk or redundancy. Itâs very stressful but I have a huge support from my partner who basically keeps me sane. My manager thinks that I can remain having a job with the company if I want to. But I must wait for face to face meeting with my HR to see if heâs right or not. It can also be that they will set up requirements which I wonât agree to and therefore will have to be redundant anyway. The situation is difficult, all of the staff in London is in the same situation, because our premises are basically closing down and arenât to be reopened elsewhere. The other branches are too far away for us to travel. So weâre now completing collective meetings with HR. I have never went through this before but I think I am coping quite well (thanks to my partner mainly). I was thinking to postpone concentrating on my binging and getting better due to the situation but realised that itâs nonsense. If I sort the binging out, I can be more focused on other aspects of my life.
Sending love to everyone. Huge congratulations to Aga for her sugar free counter! And Daniela who is doing really great! Youâre on fire girl

Thank you so much for sharing, Jana! I hope you will be feeling better soon. I know the struggle and binge eating hangovers are really bad.
Youâre dealing with so much at once, and itâs completely understandable to feel overwhelmed. One binge doesnât undo your progress! The way you reflected and reset is genuinely strong. I will check out that podcast, it sounds very helpful.
Your plans of cutting sugar sound great! I have also some rules for very few exceptions when I can have sugar (for example just one of the christmas cookies I baked with my daughter, 1 piece of birthday cakeâŚ).
Thank you so much for your kind words! You know what? I am unemployed right now, for the first time in my life. It was scary first, but now I am in fact grateful for it, because not working allows me to put a lot of energy, focus and love on healing from binge eating. I am still in very early sobriety and I hope I can build the base for long term healthy eating.
(Of course, I am very glad about the social security system in my country that gives me some financial security in this situation. Without it I would struggle hard with being unemployed.)
I wish you all the best for today and the next days. If you need to talk, Iâm here

I am celebrating this milestone really hard! I didn´t think I could make it, after years of binge eating almost every night. I feel my body and soul recover and I know, that is just the beginning. I am over the moon happy and unbelievably grateful for the community and support here on TS. Thank you for being here and help me stay on track.
Have a peaceful day everyone!
