That takes a lot of guts. It's not something a lot of people would be able to do, so you must be very brave! I'm quite lonely just now too, as my boyfriend has just started working offshore; he has been away for a month now. My first thought was, "that gives me time to lose loads of weight before he gets back!" Fat chance more like! From the first day it was just another failed diet, which led to me gaining nearly a stone comfort eating...doh.</p> <p>However, I joined this forum a couple of days ago, and have already found it a great help! For the first time in over 7 months I've not binged for 2 consecutive days now. I have also eaten three healthy meals each day. I feel great already! Obviously it's early days, but I feel different this time having joined this forum. Sharing the problem with others who understand is such a relief- we're not alone!! I've also written down Andrew's 7 tips and stuck it on my bedroom wall to read everynight and morning just to get used to the different techniques. I would also like to thank Andrew very much!</p> <p>Best of luck to you! </p> http://howtostopeating.com/binge-eating-forum/topic/new-today-and-very-excited#post-1134 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 16:01:42 +0000 want2bnormal 1134@http://howtostopeating.com/binge-eating-forum/ <p>Hey there,</p> <p>I cant express how excited I am to finally come across some information that is actually helpful. For years like you all I have suffered with emotional eating, I have experienced all eating disorders, read books, seen counsellers, been on drugs, I also suffer from BDD which affects my work, relationships, life!! So here I am, day 1 ( and its been fabulous! ) After reading what Andrew wrote, for the first time in a long time I really think I can gain back control on my life and not let food, my weight and eating consume my every thought! </p> <p>I was suprised today just by writing down my thoughts, actually taking time to taste my food rather than eat it like it was going out of fashion, I wasn't as hungry as I normally am and ate three decent healthy meals feeling very satisfied. I managed to come up with new ways to kill the boredom and even did some exercise. Already I feel like a new person and after binging nearly every day over the last few weeks because I have been feeling so depressed and alone ( I'm currently overseas travelling on a work visa so am literally alone right now ) I look forward to waking up tomorrow and seeing how I overcome the next challenge in store. I'm actually curious as to what feelings and actions are making me want to pig out and how I can deal with them in a different way!</p> <p>So thanks Andrew! </p> <p>I wish everyone of you every success in beating this because I know how frustrating it is.. and how much you wish every day you can just stop thinking about it and live a normal life! </p>
