Binge Eating disaster!!!

[sv1711]

my biggest problem i need to learn is to stop using food as a comfort or a reward when im happy i eat, sad i eat bored i eat and its not a good friend lol. i need to realise sitting at home eating doesnt help i need to get active and socialise this is going to be the biggest step in my journey and change for life. i need to find rewards that arent food based and activites that arent food based once i get my head around this i imagine ss is easy lol xx

I lost 5 stone on cd a few years ago & thought the sense of achievement & feeling slim would be enough to keep me in check. I was so wrong. I hadn't changed any of my behaviours & so 8 stone went back on. This time I know I need more help, more weapons against it. I'd recommend Gillian Riley's book on overeating. In it she differentiates between feeling good because of your appearance & because of your control over food. For me, the control is everything & explains why I feel better, 4 stone too heavy but having done cd, not one cheat since late Jan than at perfect weight but having binged the 3 days before. This might not make sense but I'd recommend the book anyway. Good luck guys, we deserve to be happy!

Totally agree about having the control.
