thought i’d mention some of my stressors:
*had to cancel appointments, which i hate doing.
*there’s nothing to eat in the house
*the house is a MESS
*i’m almost out of diapers and the local store doesn’t have his size. praying we can make it till tomorrow
*going out of town tomorrow and afraid i’ll cancel out all my hard work this week by eating out etc. plus i need to pack and get things ready, and make sure i take care of all my errands on the way out of town.
Please hang on. Is there anything that really motivates you to lose this weight. Well now is the time to pull that thought image out. Whatever it may be…
I think dealing with the problems head on is the issue - as I have it too so I eat to avoid…
Is there a grocery store that might have the size diapers… Sometimes you just have to cancel appointments that is life you can’t make everything work and it is not your fault. do what you can to straighten up one area of the house maybe the area your in and maybe just clean some dishes don’t overwhelm yourself… you must have heard the saying in 100 years none of it will have mattered anyway- it goes something like that.
If you need to eat well there are healthy options like have a peanut butter sandwich. OR eat oatmeal and an apple… Do what you can. You have made the first two steps… you came on here to open up and then you defined your stressors that are pushing you toward this behavior. Good luck we are there fighting those urges when the stress heats up.. Good luck!
Hang in there! Binge on BS not food. We can all do this!
Girl, crawl into a nice bath, paint your nails, or do something else where you cant have food. Something that will relax you and ease some of your stress. I’m a binge eater too and it just makes you sick…like that stops us, i know. Just hang in there..one moment at a time if you have to. take care of yourself!
That’s what I was going to say…. do something that makes you feel so good about yourself that you don’t want to do anything destructive. A nice bubble bath, wash your hair, paint nails, a facial…..even just shaving your legs and putting on some nice lotion. Put on your prettiest nightie…. you can be a mom and still look girly. Pamper yourself, make yourself adorable. (more adorable) I know, it’s so hard, sometimes you just feel like someone else takes over the controls and when you regain your sanity… ugh! Sometimes cleaning out a cupboard or drawer that has been needing it works… not too big a job, but you still feel good about it when you’re done. You CAN do it!
thank you guys. i left the house and went for a drive. it helped a little. but now dinner’s coming up and i have no idea what to make that would be healthy and get me full. the cupboards are pretty bare:( earlier i caved in to a snowball and i know that if i eat good tonight it will be no harm done- but it’s a toughie for sure!
i think i have made it out alive;)i was able to construct a healthy dinner (salmon fillet, instant mashed potatos, and peas). i am going to curl up on the couch with some tea and watch ‘Friends’. maybe paint my toes. thank you all for the support. nite
Sounds like a winner there. Never tried the painting my toes thing… Prolly best not to get it started… =P
Awesome! If you can survive a day like this, rest is gonna get easier.
We are here for you! Hang in there! *throwing you a lifeline* Hang in there, and your dinner sounds great! Hugs!
