    I dont know where to go right now. Last night I had my worst binge ever. Even while I was doing it I was on the phone lieing to my mom and friends about it. I feep so ashamed, disgusting, lonely, out of control and angry and I don't know how to stop. The lack of self control I feel scares me. For the last year I've been so consumed with eating 6 healthy meals a day and exercising sometimes twice a day and I was in terrific shape. Now all I want to do is eat, I dont go to the gym and I feel horrible about myself. Please I need some advise.Right now Im at work and want to run back to the vending machine. The binges have never carried over to the next day and it seems like they're becoming worse that way.

    hi sarah - i'm new to this but i know how you feel! i've heard that in order for something to become a "habit" you have to do it for at least a month (30 days) - it seems like your history of eating 6 meals a day and exercising 2x a day for the last year is a "habit" for you...don't let 1 binge take you down! you are strong and you do have self control - think about all the strength you had for the past year!! i've recently gone back to the gym and i'm slowly getting back into my routine - maybe focus on how you felt with a 6meals a day and working out - focus on how good that felt and how you didn't (physically) need the extra calories. i think you can do it!! it will take effort but you are strong and you can do it!

    Hey Sarah..welcome! Well my best advice would be that to get yourself into recovery you have to stop trying to eat perfectly and to stop all dieting/restricting. That just feeds into the binge cycle and leads to the binges. To get out of the cycle, you have to learn to let yourself eat what you want in moderation when you are hungry. Its a process and it takes time but keep posting and you will find yourself getting loads of binge-free days behind you like many people here have. Best of luck! ~Lauren
