Moving forward in the bulimia fight
This is just a random blog to help get me back on track!!!
Well, I'm back from vacation, and it was pretty good. We ate healthy, and I did listen to my stomach a lot more! We did however have some of my trigger foods, just because we were away on vacation and when you travel with somebody you tend to eat the same as the other person.
It's been almost 2 months without b/p. I did however have 2 binges before flying out for vacation because of the anxiety of flying, but I didn't let it affect me! We just got back yesterday, and thinking that I was better I made some banana bread for myself and my suitemates (normally safe.. but it was really good) and I did unfortuantly binge on it. From all this I learned that I'm not ready yet to re-introduce certain triggers in moderation. It wasn't even an emotional trigger it was just because of sweet cravings.
So, because of this occurrence with the triggers, I'm going back on fully-structured eating, until I know I will be ready. I don't want to purge again, I really hate it and I want to get better and live a normal life. I feel like it's within reach, but I just have to break these silly habits! It really does sound easier then it is right? lol
Getting back on track will be good for me. Progress can only happen when I trust in myself and realize what is good and bad for me. I have to listen to my "inner voice" more, and stop letting my cravings control me when it comes to binging. Thus, my next goal is to stop the binging intentions and follow my structured eating plan after all it is when I was feeling on top of the world!! I should go back to drawing when I feel the need to binge, it did wonders before!
Anything is possible, if i can do it I will feel so happy with myself! :)
Thanks for reading!

Particularly distressful events can lead to a lapse and you may binge but you must realize that there were extenuating circumstances and not despair and give up.

punkrocklibrarian » showme Hey lady trousers, how are you doing? Thanks for adding me. I hope you're doing well with your recovery. Don't let things like fluid retention or weight gain hinder you. What does it matter anyway? It doesn't change who you are. Self acceptance is the only way to full recovery - accepting yourself at any size - and surely you can see you deserve full recovery, a decent life and lasting happiness, regardless of how many stupid calories you eat?

hey - i agree with sarasara - sounds like a good plan to go back on SE for a while - to really make the most of two fantastic months! well done you : )
i don't think i've really committed to structured eating before and I really want to give it a go this week. i think i will manage ok in the week but i am worried about the weekends and when i'm spending time with other people - i.e. if I am planning to eat at certain times of day but when I am with other people they want to eat different things / eat out at different times do i just need to accept that for that day / those times i can't stick to the plan? I have just started seeing someone and i am especially aware that it will be difficult when spending time with him to stick with this... any suggestions would be really welcome - thank you! xx
