I'm trying to learn to eat without feeling guilty afterward and like I have to work off every calorie. I've been eating pretty well but still have very bad feelings of guilt after. I'm coming up on 3 months of recovery

I know the feeling BB. It's okay to eat; we all need it to live. That may not help but it's all I got right now. I hope things will be okay for you.

I watched tv. I hope your week will be good for you. I have to be in bankruptcy court Mon. morning. I was a wreck about it but increased my meds. to get rid of anxiety. I hope it goes smoothly. I know nothing about what happens there accept for what the lawyer told me and that was not much.
I need to get back to my Diabetic Meals Plans. To eat better for my health's sake, too. Sometimes I do better than others. __________________ One way to get the best out of life is to think of it as an adventure.

Struggling the past couple days but I think things will get better, I'm learning more about myself. Stress, anxiety and lack of sleep often trigger my binges. Sometimes boredom, less often than the other two though. It's just a habit to eat to make myself feel good and that just results in using compensatory behaviors to "make up" for the binges and the cycle goes on. In the past 3 days, I binged/purged 2 of the days. The first day I was stressed and super tired from not sleeping enough and I binged/purged. 2nd day I didn't binge or purge, and that was the day after the night I slept a full 8 hours and felt good mentally. Today I binged, did not purge, only got 4 hours of sleep last night. But I'm just using this stuff to learn about how this pattern works instead of beating myself over some slip ups. I'm noticing triggers to the b/p episodes when I look back and go over the previous days/weeks. etc
Obviously getting good sleep and managing stress and anxiety are vital to recovery. Keeping busy is important too. And doing stuff that feels good that doesn't involve food. Like playing videogames and card games, drawing or coloring, journaling, watching favorite shows and movies, reading, and listening to music. Going to church and connecting to my faith helps, and mindfulness helped me very much in the past so I'm working on using that more. Aromatherapy is great too, there's something so relaxing about good smells __________________ “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” -St. Francis of Assisi

Things have been going okay, I'm a little frustrated due to extreme hunger caused by seroquel, I'm worried about gaining more weight but I'm trying not to obsess over it. I'm some what torn. Seroquel helps me so much yet part of me wants to stop it just to lose the weight I've gained
