Thread: BED

No they take time to stop but I feel it unpeels the layers, I've not had one for over 5 weeks now nearly 6 I now eat healthy because I want to , don't snack, enjoy my food, stop when full. Each person takes a varying amount of time to get to this point. We are all different, once you get to this point the weight should start to go, but it seems to deal with the head first

I have drop two jeans sizes and the chocolate one as my main two

They will not get rid of binging instantly but if you are prepared to be patient then yes I truely believe they will. It took 2 months for them to stop for me totally

My only concern is that I can not listen to it at night time.

you can listen when you like either night time, morning, whenever you can fit it in. I would personaly listen evening or first thing

I am going to start listening again as from tomorrow - follow the guides and list my positives daily. 21 days to start.

its also very important to set your goals or you have no focus, they need to be specific rather than 'ie i want to lose weight' ie how much, what size etc? They put a fab page up on their website about goal setting so its worth reading as it will help you .x

2 stone by June
3 stone by August

That sort of thing?

yes. I put my main goal then worked it backwards where I would need to be and when. i did mine in dress sizes but everyones goals are different but do write them down. Then you write down how you might achieve this

ie try to walk 30 mins a day
try to make healthy choices

that kind of thing

I just write everything in a notebook

Hi girls. Hope you don't mind me joining in. I think I have B.E.D too although I have not gone to a doctor or anything about it. I too have had it since I was a child (funny enough it started around the time of my parents messy divorce). I haven't overcome it yet but what I have found that helps me, is to make myself accountable, ie: if I binge, may sure I write down everything I have had and the calories for it and it kind of shocks me into trying not to let it happen (or happen that bad) again.

I also read online that guilt makes it SOOO much worse. For example, if you have a small binge and then you feel guilty about that binge and turn it into a HUGE one. You have to try and little by little let go of the guilt. Admit that we are all human and are going to make mistakes but that is not what makes us, what makes us is trying to learn from the mistakes. I also read it is good to keep a diary (aswell as a food diary) and write down your thoughts for the day and the things you were proud of that day. It can help show you where your triggers are and then you can try and find new things to do when those triggers are set off.

I am still struggling with this. Hoping I can work myself a solution.

I had a major slip up on Tuesday. Let's just say there wasn't much left of a certain TIN of biscuits Oh the shame. But the one thing I am proud of is that I logged it all on MFP (first time I have ever logged all of a binge) so hopefully I am one small step in the right direction...
