I binged big time

[Nina41]

I Binged big today. It started in the morning and it went on all day. I had cereal, chocolate, chocolate biscuits, loads and quickly.

I feel terrible now (obviously) and even more convinced I have an eating disorder and need psychological help. I know there are things influencing my "state" like pms and the fact that My husband is about to go to singapore for 8 weeks. I will be alone to take care of the kids. There is also the trip to brazil and, worse of all, the excuse that I have been good for so long and have exercised every day this week.

Does this disease have a cure? Does one ever stop binging?

Even though I feel bad, I just feel like having some more cereal now... (no choc left).

It happens to everyone.
I try to have only Dukan friendly food around.
It is difficult to resist temptation.

Hang in there!

we have all totally been there! maybe next time try to exercise instead of eating junk? it sounds crazy but i've started working out when i think i need a mid day nap. also - i read this somewhere - "do not reward yourself with food, you are not a dog" I love that!

Good luck!

I did the same on wednesday..but thanks to this site I literally dusted myself down and started again. No point in beating ourselves up as the worse we feel the more we binge! So...put it behind you , throw yourself back into it and in moments of weakness I am sure there are lots of friends on here to offer support. I totally understand how your feeling, I have 8 children which can be a challenge and I think the reason I have put weight on is because in times of stress I have "rewarded" myself with chocolate, crisps, or wine...sometimes all three at once when the kids are put to bed! I don't think you have an eating disorder as such .....you sound just like me, just an unhealthy relationship with food when under pressure. Some people can't eat when stressed, I would just dive into the fridge ! Hope your ok today x

I love it too!
That is a great reminder of why we started this diet...
