That's the truth!!!!!!! (about using different techniques!!!) Honestly, my coping skills that I am using to avoid the b/p behavior are not very good. I am completely all over the place with my food, and either don't eat (but can't lose weight, nice), or have alcohol instead...

But, back to you and your question! The only thing that I am able to do that somewhat helps is that my kids are living with me right now, and there is no lock on the bathroom door. I don't want my daughter busting in and seeing me.

Just thought of something else: are there 'trigger' foods that you have identified? Like for me, it's ice cream, or peanut butter cups, or cookies. So I don't buy that stuff at the store. It's not in the house. I know that it's very easy to hop in the car and drive to a grocery, but it's a couple extra steps and if I'm feeling depressed/lazy (which is a lot now) I won't do it. (although I will just grab whatever sometimes...)

I have also if after eating at a restaurant, will find a store that doesn't have a public bathroom, and walk the aisles, yes shopping like crazy is not the best either, but....

I just wish that I could say that while doing this I feel calm. I won't lie, the whole time I am trying not to purge my heart races and I feel like I am going to explode. Do you have any tips for that?

I hope this helped, even a bit? I hope this reply was ok and not to me-centered, I just tried to relate what I'm doing to what you asked...
