Haha yep! (there is some rule about blending chickpeas, but I'm not worrying as they were just a one off way to stop me from overindulging on a million syns after weigh in)

I hope you don't mind me butting in, but I've been reading your posts about binge eating. This was me until 9 months ago. I've now lost 80lbs. I realised that I have a food addiction and am now in recovery. There is help and support out there. I got my life back with Overeaters Anonymous. Do check out my story in my diary as I want to be able to help people. Post 71 is the big post that explains everything.

You can do it, you've done so well

Here you go

Drain and blend a tin of chickpeas, blend in 3 eggs, then add 2 tbsp of cocoa, a tsp of baking powder, vanilla essence and lots of sweetener. Spoon into cases and bake for 20 minutes.

Then I made 'icing' out of fromage frais, 1 tbsp of cocoa and more sweeter

Omg these look so nice. I wouldn't worry about the chickpea tweak, as long as you don't have them everyday

Yeah yesterday ended up being a bad day for me too in the end, and I was up to day five without before then pfffttt. Really want to be back on it today and not let it drag over two or more like I usually can.

So hard to fight the urges though isn't it?!

I don't know which page as it depends on how many posts per page you have in your settings.

This SHOULD link directly to it. http://www.minimins.com/members-only-diaries/281290-recovery.html#post5340053

Contact numbers will depend on where you are as each meeting will have a number to call for more info. The website is www.oagb.org.uk. There's quite a bit of info on there, including some questions to ask yourself to see if you are a compulsive overeater. If you click on 'meetings' in the left hand menu you can then search for meetings in your area.

 

[WillowFae]

Oh, feel free to pm me if you want to ask anything in private.

 

[flabtofit]

Thank you! I'll have a good look at the website when the kids have tgeir nap. Xx

Thanks for sharing the link etc, there's actually a group just down the road from me on Tuesdays. Considering going, what happens at the sessions? Thanks

I'm gutted the one in my city is to far away & I don't drive . They sound very interesting and helpful.

 

[flabtofit]

Unfortunately the meetings for my area are in the city about 40minutes from home.
I work in the opposite direction aswell so would need to drive 75minutes straight from work to the meeting.
Shame as I think it would be really helpful

 

[haannah]

Yeah they look really interesting, especially to actually talk to real people who are experiencing similar feelings. If I go on Tuesday I'll let you know what it was like

Managed to stay on plan today, but fighting it so much ah.. hope I can stick with it
