Hey guys,
Just wanted to post an update on how I'm going. I had no idea just till now that it's been 6 days that I havent had a binge because I have just being taking each day as it comes which is the best way to do it! I have had the best week, been feeling great, happy, full of energy, getting along great with everyone. Then today for some reason I woke up and was having a 'fat day'. I felt really gross, a pair of jeans I put on were tight, the weather was cold, I was just feeling blah... I spent most of the day on the couch relaxing cause it was my day off work! I was bored and pretty much ended up thinking about food once more. I cooked up a healthy dinner of roast veges, chicken and couscous which made me feel very full but for some reason I felt the strong desire to binge and eat more food!
To make matters worse someone brought a large box of chocolate fruit cereal bars in to the hostel to hand out as free food. So being free food I went and took some and put them in my box in the kitchen for later. The temptation to eat them was so strong but I didnt. The temptation to eat more food seeing I was near the kitchen all night was so strong, however everytime I thought about it, i wrote down my feelings, and kept myself busy by going on the computer. I'm now upstairs and feeling good because I just stopped myself for the first time in ages from having a typical sunday evening binge session!! I wasnt hungry, I was just bored and feeling a bit down and out of habit eating food is what I did to fix that problem.
My only advice to anyone who is finding it hard is to keep yourself busy and write down how you are feeling and if you are really hungry? This has done wonders for me overcoming the desire to binge. Rather than going to bed feeling upset and angry with myself, I go to bed feeling proud of myself that food did not take over once again and ruin my day.
I hope this can continue as I know its sooo hard to just want to give in.
I wish everyone all the best and hope everyone has a great week
