Hey there,
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!
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!
So thanks Andrew!
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!
