Help Needed! BED 😞
Don’t really know where to start, but talking about it will hopefully help. I have always had an obsession with food, but just put it down to no will power! I now recognise it’s way more complex. How do people begin to get over BED? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I hear you! I developed BED after a trauma in 2013. Since then I fight. I was winning but it's back full force again. Everyday I say I won't and for ANY reason I do. I think it's important to talk about it!
I need help too! I agree with your statement @HardworkingDay7403, I think it's a key part too, super important, to talk about it. Maybe we can help keep each other going? Checkin, in here and let each other know how it's going and our struggles?
Id Be up for that. I know I had been winning when I was in a online weight loss support group. It was small but so helpful for me! I was....again....looking to lose weight and it held me accountable. I do think it could help me again to have support and I can offer an ear!
@hardworkingDay7403
I would be happy to support you! I haven't really done an accountability type thing before, so please bear with me :) I am for sure, game for this though, too!
My goal is no more eating for the day today, I stopped after dinner at 6pm today (it's 7:00pm here)
Baby steps for me.
I need to stop snacking which leads to binges. How did you do yesterday?
@hardworkingDay7403 I did ok yesterday. First time in a long time. I still could have made better food choices. But over all, much improvement.
I an terrible at snacking, too! I can't have certain things in my home. I have to idea how to stop.
@daisieslavendar no idea how to stop ^
Improvement is better than nothing! Great job I binged yesterday but today is a new day
@hardworkingDay7403 right on! No use in worrying about what is already done and just try to do better today! And be patient with yourself: that's what I'm trying to do/think!
@hardworkingDay7403
How's today going so far for you?
Ugh I binged :( no idea why. Just did. You??
@hardworkingDay7403 I did too :( It sneaks up, doesn't it?
It seems I can't reply to last message...... Sure does sneak up! I notice after. It helps if I measure out the amount I "can"....well should have first.
@hardworkingDay7403
ya that's a good point. It's seems if I put some thought into planning out how much, it helps remember to not go all in!
I really need to plan out a little better I think.
how is your day going?
Good today! Got out of the house...away from food during my normal binging time frame. Hopefully no binges after. How about you?
I've been binging daily for a while now but TODAY I will not! I wont....🤞
@hardworkingDay7403 how did today go for you?
I did... better! Not perfect. But made better choices and less. Any improvement is still improvement, I'll take it !
Yesterday was...ugh. better I got on the scale and OH MY GOSH. I've had a depression trigger and turned even more to food. I. Have. To. Stop. Today....hopefully knowing my weight will get me in gear. I had lost 115lbs. I've gained 30 back over the last 2 years of fighting the strong return of binging. With the trigger I've gained 8 of those 30 now in a few week time. I will not binge today, I will NOT...... Hope today for you goes amazing. You can do it! I wish we could private message.
@hardworkingDay7403 Congrats on losing that weight! I know how discouraging it can be to gain any of it back, and it can happened quick. We are both being accountable though and like how you weighed yourself, I think I need to do that too. I have been putting that off. But it helps really put things into perspective for me. I will weigh in tomorrow and then next week I will shoot as Friday as my weekly weigh in again, (it used to be).
You got this! thanks for the good day wishes. I hope your day is going well!
Successful day here! No binges!!!! I do want to get off these 30 huge lbs. I can't use scale to monitor myself since we pretty much camp all summer. Hope tomorrow is great!
@hardworkingDay7403
OH camping sounds wonderful. Not too much beats being out there with nature. Enjoy!
Great job on not binging. Today wasn't super great for me. But Not too awful. I did forget to weigh myself tho. I guess I better do that tomorrow :(
My notification didn't tell me you had replied so I'm sorry I didn't check in sooner. I'm sorry the other day was good. Do you know why you binged? Yesterday I nailed it :)
@hardworkingDay7403 no worries at all! The notifications on here are a bit wonky sometimes :)
yay for you nailing it!!
I'm doing better so far!
I'm not sure why I binge. I think sometimes it's an awful self soothing habit I learned ? 🤷♀️
I know I binge to fill a need. Can be anything from lonely...depressed....pain (I have a bad hip!)....but then also to fill from joy...happiness. Next time you binge or know you are about to (I am only really aware of it after) pop on here and tell me what's going on. Mentally and physically.
How are you doing?
@hardworkingDay7403 Hi there, I was feeling a bit low and wasn't able to really think of coming on here. I like your idea about popping on here the next time I feel that way. Thank you! Same for you, I am here for you, too.
How are you doing?
The 4th of July weekend sort of threw me a bit, I didn't do terrible, but I get stuck in these, " well I already cheated, so I might as well just keep eating xxx".
Im sorry you were low :( do you want to talk about it? I've been away from home a lot and busy. I haven't been binged in. 5 days if make it through today
@hardworkingDay7403 oh my gosh! That is wonderful! !YAY! go you! :)
Thank you for the offer, I am feeling better today. How are you feeling?
Doing good Starting to over eat but no binges. I do want to lose the weight I gain so....ugh I'm glad you are better! How are you today?
@hardworkingDay7403 sounds like you are on a really good pattern! You should be really proud of yourself, I am proud of you :) These little steps add up! That is for sure. I have to keep remembering that. It's so easy to just lose focus and figure "oh well, I will just start again tomorrow" I just have to keep on keeping on. That is the trick, I think?
I am doing well. I did great yesterday, but then I snacked on peanut butter filled pretzels until I polished off the entire bag :( I don't know that one word... control... yet 
How are you doing today?
Still doing well but over eating yet. I'm thinking I can get on track with over eating once these days slow down. Always a reason. I'm focusing more right now on no binging. Tomorrow starts now. I can't keep binging and saying Tomorrow. I notice it affects my next morning. Just think about yesterday's eating and yuckie feeling about myself. Sounds like you did okay yesterday and do better today! You can and will!
@hardworkingDay7403 how are you doing?? I have no idea how a week has gone by already. I've had a very busy week! Not doing awful, but also not great with the eating. How about you?
take care
No binges!!! Over eating yet. Ugh. Things are slowing down as far as how busy I was to be these few weeks. 1 more week then I have to focus on no over eating.
@hardworkingDay7403 Hey there! I um, I am struggling, but over all better.If you don't mind me asking, why do you have one more week before you focus on no overeating?
I'm sorry you are struggling:( I'm super busy for about another week or so. An excuse huh? Ugh I have a lot going on. I find all the excuses. I haven't binged for 2 weeks 3 days but I know I am over eating. Maybe I should stop with excuses with over eating too huh?
@hardworkingDay7403 I understand though. I can be the same way sometimes. But, at the same time a start date is not a bad idea either. I could plan on starting that same day as you! Do you have a start day in mind?
