You are so awesome for posting these - so helpful for me to see someone being so honest and thoughtful and I hope that the encouragement you get on here is helpful for you too!
you are doing SO well.further binging while recovering is inevitable.and how you deal with that will be the ultimate challenge.the better you deal with it afterwards,the less power youre giving BED over you.well done,recovery is never easy and never perfect.xxxxx
Off days/bad days/hard days are par for the course with just about every kind of habit or issue or problem (certainly with disordered eating) but your motto "one day at a time" is so inspiring and down to earth! I really like your vids because of your honesty even about things that are hard. I definitely commend you for that! :)
Sorry you had a bad day. Besides it not being healthy and frustrating it can be soooooooooo expensive. I found ways to get around it (I won't share them here because I don't want to trigger anyone/give ideas) but ultimately I was still unhappy because I had binged once again. Hope you are having a better day today.
God yes, when I used to binge eat.....damn it was expensive. I miss the comfort that the food brought, but I don't miss the food bills! I used to do a weekly shop, yet everyday I was still buying stuff for me. Yes it is tough, the only thing that worked for me, was to see the food as an addiction, a bad one. I dindn't see it as my 'always there friend' anymore. God, it was tough tho.
@dylandebbiesteph Yeah...that damn food seems to do the trick for me and give me that fix...but, thats why i am fighting it so hard. :) I am worth more than that! :)
I've watched a ton of your videos & love them. Since 2010 you have lost weight, I can clearly see a difference in you face & upper body. You are beautiful. Thank you for being a strong person & posting these videos. Congrats on only eating 2 cinnamon rolls & no candy. See that will power & determination does work, because you very well could have eaten it all. Baby steps, at least that's how I'm taking it. I've gotten a little discourage because I went from 216 when I was sick back up to 223. :(
@amcr420williams I was sick for about a week and went from 225 to 216, which was my weigh in on monday, weighed yesterday its 223 now. ugh it can be frustrating but I know it doesn't come overnight and it takes a lot of hard work and effort to reach any goal, no matter how big or small it may be.
Kudos for not eating all of the cinnamon rolls AND for not eating the chocolates. In itself, that's good progress. Did you find out why she didn't turn up ? It's difficult when things like that happen - they can throw you off balance a bit. (BTW, make up looking great .... again!!!) :)
I understand how hard it is as well, I love my chocolate and sweets way too much!!!. When I hit 102 kilos (200 pounds), I decided that I had had enough, I had to get angry to get motivated. I was sick to death of always being the fat one in family photos, I started my life change in December and so far I have lost 7 kilos (14 pounds). I love your videos, and wish you well on your journey.
Thanks for making this video. You are not alone. I know it is HARD. I used to love going to See's and gorging myself. I had a crappy, stressful day at work last week and I've learned to talk or walk myself through it--whatever's going on with me. Bad thoughts and feelings pass. I have detached my feelings from food. I eat my meals and they are just that: meals...You are getting more in touch with you and that's good. Move on and don't beat yourself up. Hang in there and you will make progress.
I know how you feel. See's candy is the reason why I'm so big. I have been in a very bad mood lately, and today was a baaaaaaaad day lol. I had to return something to Ulta, and See's was two doors down. I wanted to go there soooo bad, you just don't know how bad, I didn't, I went to starbucks instead. For Christmas I bought 1 pound of chocolate and 1 pound of peanut brittle, I ate most of it. I don't over it with food, I'm a sweets eater.
I have a wonderful sponsor in OA. Your right, there is more to it then just will power. It's called Your Higher Power. My higher power is God. I'm just getting started working the 12 steps in OA but I'm learning alot. Praying for you.
I think a big part of healing is changing our mindset. Type in "josielenore" into the the YouTube search box. She has a lot of videos that are beneficial to anyone that struggles with overeating. =D Wishing you the best!
Do you have a friend you can call when you're about to buy something..sorta like a sponsor in AA? Someone to talk you out of it? Would that even be something you think would be helpful? I know it's hard.

You are the woman! My motto is as long as you keep trying, and stay conscious of the situation then eventually it "will" change.

Hi. I know your struggles all too well. It's a food addiction. Taking it one day at a time is really all we can do. I wish you the best.
