hi,i m the new one here.I ve tried everything these days but i just can t anymore....
I feel desparate beause i m here.Since i was little girl i ve always wanted everything to be perfect and i always try to solve problems by myself so this is kind of "failure",this shows my weakness,Anyway,i ve started with binging episodes few months ago,and i couldn t even imagine they would last this long.I m not "giving up type of person and i strictly decided to stop once for all...I ve decided that few days ago and i failed,that s why i decided to come here,to be one of you,because only you can understand what i go through and i hope you ll help me.I ll also try to help you as much as i can.I am deeply convined that our problem has solution,and admitting that we have a problem is first step.In the last 2 years i ve lost 20 kg,and now i m scared,what if i come back to my "old body",to my unhealthy habits,I simply must not.. and in last two months i gained few chilos.I understand why it happened,i had some family problems and i can feel my life is changing in all areas.I am going slowly toward new life.I have to decide what to study and where,i ve finished secundary school a month ago.
Last binging episode was yesterday and it has to be the last one ever.from now on i will write every day how my battle goes on.Please,write some positive experiences if you won this battle,something that ll help us to go on happier and enthusiastic.
Sorry for this confessions and jumping from one topic to another but i just had to share it with someone.If i have some language mystakes that s because i m from east europe and i tries to find forum in my language but it doesn t exist(imagine that!,maybe someone here doesn t now for this kind of food addiction)
first of all,i have to lose this 6 kg and then star to eat healthier than ever and to become friend with food again and not enemy.Wish me luck!!!

MemberHey, Healthy One!
First of all, welcome here and be sure we are all supporting you and each other!!!
It's funny, my native language is not English either, but I'm glad I've found this forum! Yes, realising and admitting to have a problem that we have to deal with is the first step - and it's a big step, cause probably not even your family or closest friends will know or understand it. We do!Don't panic!
Noone can say "I've failed" just trying to do something for a few days!! Getting back/changing to and keeping a healthy lifestyle is not happening over night! We have to work on it trough long months and years and till the rest of our lives. Sometimes it might feel difficult to keep through,and maybe there will always be a few times when we binge, but the more conscious we get about the problems in the background,the functioning of our body and our goals in life (including eating habits), the less likely it is to completely lose ground again.Losing 6 kg by reasonable eating and moderate exercising might happen faster for those who have lots of overweight, and it might happen very slowly if that's all you need to lose. Anyway, never attempt to lose more than 0,5 - 1,5 kg / week, this is about the rate your body will adapt to in a normal way. People drinking/taking magic weight loss powders/pills or trying similar idiotic diets promising you to lose 5-6 kg in a week would wonder if they knew, that they have probably not lost more than 0,5-1 kg fat - the rest simply being loss of water and building down your muscles...
Eat anything you'd like to eat at regular meal times, try to judge and keep your portions reasonable and do some exercise (walking will do fine too). That's the basic thing. If there's a crazy craving attacking you, try to figure out the reason first. And if there are a few times you cannot resist - don't blame yourself. We are not robots!

Memberhello healthy one! Welcome! I know you will find much support here. Since becoming part of this community i have improved so much in my relationship with food. The first thing i really found helpful was eating enough calories each day, i eat about 2000 calories a day and have actually lost weight because i am not binging anymore. i also make sure i am eating yummy foods that i crave. Having a little of these foods each day tells your body that it doesn’t have to binge on them because it can have it whenever. All of these craving did not go away at once, the first week of my new lifestyle i allowed myself to eat whatever i was craving and however much i wanted of it. I did eat to the point past full but i never binged. About two weeks later my body didn’t want junk anymore it wanted healthy foods. I am still not perfect last week i went over my daily calorie intake a couple times but this week i am not even finishing my calories for the day. I think that peoples body just goes in cycles needing more calories some days and less on others. I am still trying to become completely normal with food but i have made alot of progress. One tip is dont let a binge set you back just take it as a learning experience and try to figure out what lead you to the binge. I hope this helps!

Memberhi,i just wanted to thank for your answers.
My first days was great.I forced myself to eat every 3 hours and i think that s great way to avoid binging because i used to skip meals.I was reading bit posts on this forum and actually i can find myself in few areas not just in this "perfectionism" although i thought this is the main reason.
Anyway i ll work hard to mantain these habits.I see you have maybe more experience than me but we can always improve our unhealthy habits;together is easier.:)Posted 1 year ago # -

Memberwelcome to the forum.since i started reading this binge forum daily and nightly i am eating much healthier and i am always in touch with my inner feelings. i have daily dialogs with myselflike isay darling are you really that hungry. have an apple instead. you know you wont be sorry. i find that talking to myself as is speaking to a beloved friend helps me out a lot. sometimes our inner monolog is so cruel. if a stranger would talk to you so mean you would call the police. so lets love ourselves a lot more and forgive us for not being sooooo perfect. susie
