I know I don't post on this forum a lot, but I am struggling big time right now with the urge to binge. I don't work until 10 and I'll be there until 2:30am. It's 8:30 right now and for the past couple hours all I can think about is going to McDonalds and bingeing hard core... and of course purging, and feeling like hell afterwards.
I really don't know what to do. I just ate two hard boiled eggs and a cup of coffee with lots of milk and sugar to try to curb the hunger. I still feel like bingeing though. It's really not about being hungry, I know, but being hungry doesn't help. Maybe it's because I'm bored, or anxious to go to work... I don't know where this urge to binge is coming from but it's strong. I really don't want to binge.

If u feel it's cause u r bored or anything.... may be that's the reason.. if so try to find something interesting to take ur mind off.... may be that will help.. all the best for everything.. tc..

I hoped you treated yourself to something healthy. Please don't purge! I hope you are ok...

I would put the money you would spend at McDonald's toward something you want/need. Maybe you want more/different education to get a better/less stressful job? Maybe you want to buy "artist" supplies, musical instruments, lessons, magazines/memberships? Maybe you wish for therapy but can't quite afford it? Start a non-binge fund to help your real interests come true.

Definitely NOT a well balanced diet. Maybe if you ate healthier foods & a balanced died in the first place your whole body & mind would feel better & less likely to feel the need to binge.

Think about your reasons behind why you WANT to feel like hell.....be honest with yourself.....looking into your thoughts & reasonings behind why you want to feel this way is a good place to start.

A good T would work on these questions & get you to understand what is making your thought process go in this direction. Only then can your real healing process start to work.

Wishing you the best in this area & being strong to resist your temptations to act in the wrong way with giving into your desire to binge.
