A hard fall

...See more So I have been talking to my therapist about my eating disorder and I told her a list of my coping skills she wants me to add more to my "mental toolbox" but I am not sure what other skills to use. I already do medation, deep breathing, exercise, listening to calming music, and when things get really bad I put myself in time out when I feel overwhelmed and upset. But I have been binge eating none stop for two weeks now almost three. I have put on weight and it is putting more pressure on my body. I know I need to get this under control but right now I am lost on how to do that. I also don't have support around me. It seems like no matter what I do I have no self-control.

...See more I been doing ok and been fighting my eating disorder. It has been two weeks if not a little longer since my last binge. A lot has changed. I been working harder on my weight loss journey and I have also found a therapist that I will be seeing soon to talk to about my eating disorder. But I been fighting through my struggles and I have been coming out on top. I believe everything is going to be ok. I know that I can do this because I have proven it before. I had to take a hard look at myself and except that I have a problem. I had to look deep inside me and understand me. Now that I am learning to love myself the battle of binge eating isn't so hard. I can see it for what it is and turn my back on it. I got a lot more work to do but I know that I can do it and come out on top.

...See more For one month My recovery went well. I was proud of myself. It was showing in my mood and in my body. But for the past week I have given up on everything. I was masking what was going on and I started to come up with excuses for what I was doing to myself. All the hard work that I have put in., just went away. And the truth is this is something that I have done to myself. This is only something that I can fix. It is time that I get raw and truthful with myself, no matter how much it might hurt or how hard it is. So today is the day that I am raw and truthful, and today is the day that I really make changes because there is no excuse for what I am doing to myself.

...See more I have been binge free for 18 days now. Though some days I struggled. Today I am feeling proud of myself. I use my coping skills everyday and that has been a big part of my journey. I don't think I would have made it this far if I didn't use them. They have became a big part of my everyday life, and it has made this journey so much easier. I am so proud of the person that I have become. I never though that recovery was possible for me, I am glad that I have proved myself wrong.

Struggling with my body

...See more It has been over two weeks since I have binged and I am feeling proud of myself for that. But today I am struggling with my recovery because I am not happy with the way that I look. And I have tried all my coping skills to try and make myself feel better. Yet nothing seems to be working. I am not happy with the way that I look and have changed my clothes 10 times. I have even tried working out because sometimes that helps. Today it just feels like nothing is working. This feeling has given me the urge to binge. And I am working hard to fight the urge. I knew recovery was not going to be easy... today it just feels extra hard.

...See more I have had an eating disorder for 23 years. I have been binge free for 10 days. I never thought this day would come. I have been struggling with wanting to binge eat but I have been using my coping skills to keep me from do it. I know that I have a long way to go but I am feeling very proud of myself for the hard work that I have put in. I am eating healthier and feeling much better about myself. I have high hopes and lot of hard work to do yet, but I know that I can do it. I never thought recovery would be possible for me, but I have proved to myself that I can do it and I will recover.

...See more Today marks five days that I have been binge free. I am still feeling strong. I have been working on my coping skills and reminding myself how my eating disorder makes me feel when I give in to it. I have been working hard on myself and and I am proud of the progress that I have made. I always thought that my E.D. was stronger than me, but I didn't realize that I am stronger than my E.D. I never thought that there would be a day that I could start to over come binge eating. I am happy to say that my journey is going well and I know that I got a long way to go. But I know now that I can do it.

...See more I am so mad at myself. I been binge more and more and the more I try to control it the worse that it is getting. I have been none stop bingeing for weeks now. I have gained more weight and I am already obese. I have been having heart problems due to my binge eating. So now my doctor is trying to help me with it. I have tried so hard to fight this and I can't seem to fight it. Because I have been bingeing so much it has made me even more depressed. It has been rough and sometimes It feels like I have given up. But I don't want to give up, but it feels like I have. I have been under a lot more stress than normal. I know that I need to stop binge eating I just don't know how to fix this anymore. I need help.
