I feel out of control
My bingeing urges are so bad and ive bit/ spat out food again today ... But it happened after my bf shouted at me on the phone...i think my food problem is greatly related to stress ... Really wish someone could lock me away and force this behaviour out of me ..
What do other people do to stop behaviour ? .. Ive tried exercising as soon as i get in from work (as coming home from work is the time i normally do it after a stressful drive home) but it doesn't happen life is a journey and we all need to live it |
Sorry to hear that you are struggling.
It's great that you have been able to recognize that stress can trigger off these urges. What positive ways do you already use to deal with stress? Exercise (in moderation of course) can help greatly with stress, although motivation to do it is not always easy as you are finding. Is there a certain form of exercise that you find fun, so would be easier to motivate yourself? Maybe something you could do with friends. Planning some you time when you come home from work may be an idea. Do you currently have any support for eating problems? Take care. Amy x |
I have no support but going to docs on Friday .. Which is stressing me out a little ... My medical problem gets me upset .. I took half a day from work yesterday to have me time :) and ive been doing a lot of zumba xx

Have you ever tried any relaxation CDs or music? Also I find doing a repetitive task can help decrease my stress level. Something like doing the dishes, so I keep myself busy and have a sense of accomplishment at the end of it.

IM a bit goal orientated naturally so tend to do this stuff anyway ..ive been chewing spitting bit not loads now .. Ive been treating myself but feel very bad for it im frightened of weight gain etc but .. IM trying to think IM not eating enough to gain weight regardless of the fact i have the occasional treat .. IM working on it though ... Just trying to get a balance which is much easier said than done xx

One of the best ways to get over binging is to make sure that you are eating enough in the day. You should be getting as close as you can to the GDA for an adult. More if your exercising. If you are restricting then the urge to binge will not go. Also, if you are under weight it is hard not to binge because your body is screaming for the extra food.
When I was recovering from bulimia I found making a meal plan where I ate every 3-4hours helped and having a hot drink in between that if I was struggling and needed somthing to distract me from eating. |
IM not underweight anymore but i still have my *loose weight* head on so i restrict during the day ... Its only weekends when i loosen up a bit (due to bf being home) and i don't have binge urges .. Just hard to get out of the mind set :(
