Friday 1/22/09 - Feisty Fridays - Sara - To Binge or Not to Binge?

Answering these questions from....Offthebeatenpath:

Hi everyone! My questions are - 1) How do you mentally deal with the extreme urge to binge (not related to physical hunger) 2) Do you find eliminating sugar neccesary (I don't think I do anymore) 3) Regular set meals or go only by physical hunger 4) How do you deal with the insanely painful emotions and self doubt that come up when you choose to not binge

lol..I really don't know why I binge on potatoes, I think it's mostly because it's always been a comfort food to me, sort of reminds me of better times with my family.

That is a sun, yes :)

Hope you get your binges under control.

Take care...

Hi...

I do get that, totally. Unfortunatly all you can do in that situation is try to assure them that you're not nessesarily asking them to fix it and you just need to vent. Some people will always have this "fix it' mentality, thats good if you need that, otherwise I try to steer clear of those kinds of people. It just makes them miserable that they can't fix it, and you miserable because you don't want to make them feel bad.

Thank you very much Sara.

Really interesting Sara. As someone who has always struggled with an urge to restrict rather than to binge, I am learning so much that I was unaware of.

Great video!

hi sara :) many people who care a lot about me (which is why I'll go to them in the first place) seem to have this "i"ll fix it" mentality or feel it's not good enough just to listen... How do you "fix" that? hehe. Seriously, though, at times I feel i'm burdening them w/ my story... ever get that?

Yes, your cats will always understand. Besides, they probably don't like the music you will put on if that doesn't work!
