I binge ate last night but I have eaten enough today. I am doing so much better.

Glad to hear things are trending in the positive.


Ms Spock have you gotten your thyroid or blood sugar levels checked out recently? I'm just wondering if there is any physical component involved?

I say that because I'm just starting on a supplement called NAC that's supposed to be helpful for blood sugar but you need to check with your doctor if on any diabetic medication. I'm also taking Glysine but that's for neurotransmitter support. In wondering if supplementation might be helpful. Part of your issue could be deficiencies in diet.

It could be indeed @HealingInProcess. I will have to look into that.

I gave myself complete permission to binge eat if it was the only way I got get through something. But I didn't I chose a healthy snack and it took me 5 minutes to do the thing I was scared of. So really that was good not putting pressure on myself not to eat. It kind of let all the pressure out.

Okay so this is a bit all over the place but still much improved. I am too harsh with myself!

Ummm, yep! :) Good to see you turf-side.

I've been going in and out of the rabbit hole a lot myself lately. This move and my Dad being ill at the same time has thrown me sideways. Slowing down and concentrating on thing at a time, self care and compassion, and making myself recognize what I'm doing to help myself by taking on tasks or managing my emotions/feelings is slowly kind of helping. I keep telling myself to remember each occurrence when I do something or think something helpful. It's like my awareness is slowly waking up in fits and starts. I'm also doing a fair bit of letting go and letting God. Thank you my 12 Step brothers and sisters for all that you taught me.

It's an ongoing thing. I did some binge eating of chocolate but then I stopped. My behaviours are not as extreme as they used to be.

That sounds big @VioletButterfly good on you for sticking with it.

Still working on this. Awareness of nutrition, movement/strength, overall health, stress, and feelings. Have been doing a fair bit of crying lately over my mom - my family. Grieving seems to take its time. Where's that dang magic wand already?!
