i have been on a losing streak this past month. It started when my cousin was murdered last month, the next day I broke off a relationship for another (that only lasted a week), I lost a group of Twitter friends (who I talked to daily) because I made one angry and the rest followed, I then lost my job, I tried to talk a Twitter friend out of suicide but she took all the pills (she survived because she was found), another cousin died but by cancer (her funeral was two days ago) and last night I found out another Twitter friend tried killing herself (she's getting help too).
But I am just spent by so many things since all of this happened this past 22 days.

Made it through today, 2nd day of eating healthy and I didn't

Possible trigger:


I've been keeping myself busy to keep my mind off food constantly.

My Birthday is next week, I have to learn how to have a treat without overindulging myself, like eat one piece of cake instead of the whole cake........

I binged on junk food today and already my body is feeling more arthritis pain and I feel heavy and draggy. Not good at all. I wish I could control myself. I really only wanted one of each thing, but theyre sold in boxes.

Yesterday I bought a jimmy Johns but it was both lunch and supper so I think it might be ok. Today I'm doing good.

I've made quite a few improvements in the past week even with my few bad moments, I've eaten more fruit and vegetables, I've switched from sugar to artificial sweetner, from soda and energy drinks to crystal light, and from whole milk to 2%. Hopefully it makes some difference after some time

. Have gotten to the point where I simply can NOT continue in taking laxativeS in overdose
. I knew it was dangerous and that they wouldn't make me actually loose weight,,,,,,' but something drives you to do silly things. They where starting to make me vomit every nights and that
night and I had terrible stomache cramps. The time has come to stop a dangerous habit off the last 30 years. Last night only took a fraction of the dose so as not be become very constipated. The gut become totally reliant on laxatives and in the end they won't work anymore, they become insensitive to the "aue" to move food along the gut and you can get a serious blockaga. So yeah, last night I resisted and took the prescribed dose. Xxxx

Well I completely screwed up today. High calorie drinks all day, fried food for dinner, and an extra meal in addition to my regular meals and a bunch of cookies....

Haven't been doing so well lately, have been eating tons of junk food. I'm starting fresh today eating healthy because honestly the junk food makes me feel like crap anyways and I feel better when I eat healthier

Hey everyone,

I'm new to this group and mostly just peeking through the different posts and such. Anyone have a tip on where to start? I think I am just coming to terms with the fact that I most likely have BED (binge eating disorder) which I didn't even know was a real thing until looking it up online. I will be speaking to a Psychologist soon but that's about it for me...

I have gained weight with my recent binging and I still have junk food in the apartment. I don't want to throw it out, but it's very hard to eat it moderately. I don't know how I'll lose the weight. I haven't been taking my "mini walks" in my apartment because I've been so anxious and depressed. I really have to force myself. I'm scared at how things are going.

I'm really concerned about my weight, anyway I binged and am back to wanting to eat healthy again. I lack self control when it comes to eating and shopping, I'm used to giving myself whatever I want whenever I want. I have to learn to say no to myself and recognize that I'm not actually hungry, a lot harder than it sounds that's for sure

Hi, welcome to the forum! A tip that's helped me is to drink zero calorie drinks whenever you're having cravings and want to binge (tea with artificial sweetener, coffee, water with lemon, crystal light, etc.) It doesn't always work but having something in my hands to drink does help sometimes and it won't add any calories to your diet

Hello and WELCOME "FeelingStuffed" to the group, we are glad to have you on board. I find everybody very supportive and you will quickly find you are really not alone in your struggles with eating and food management/compulsions/addictions etc. Hope to see you back again very soon. Hugs. X

Welcome. You are here, you've done research, and you are seeing a psychologist soon... I would say that you've made a pretty good start
