I'm starting to see - really see - why I start bingeing. I have always known that what triggers a binge is a problem inside of me, unrelated to food (mostly) but it never really sunk in. I'm feeling really happy, in fact rather elated, because of this. Yesterday I binged, and I just couldn't stop at 2 or 3 bites of some of that chicken casserole I'd made the night before. Well I could have but I chose to keep going. I was procrastinating a few issues that needed attention. After purging, I felt a little lost and depressed for a while - the freezing cold weather didn't help either, but after a while I picked myself up, addressed what needed my attention and instantly STOPPED thinking about food, as the only emotions and feelings I was having were those of success, progress and achievement. Why would I binge when I'm feeling so 'high'?
My plan is to write out AND PRINT a list of everything that lifts me up and inspires me to keep up with my achievements, succeeding, and progressing.
I'm having a very good day today, and I feel totally in control, and this is EVERY REASON to NOT binge and purge.
