Rough Day

VeganPrincess's picture

I had a bad day yesterday. I was alone all day and it started because I was hungry, then ate too much. I had been restricting a lot and I think that's what did it. I'm really trying to set up a SE plan now though. I just keep telling myself that I need the energy to do my workouts.

Of course I told my boyfriend about my bad day - that's something I made myself promise to do is tell him no matter what. Sometimes it will stop a binge because I know that I hate telling him, so I just won't do it. It seems like I can only go a few days though without succumbing to a binge, and I know this sounds familiar to a lot of you. Is this just part of recovery? I feel like when I have a minor relapse, I have failed. Then again, it's not like I completely give up trying to recover and I'm definitely not b/p as much as I used to.

Still fighting <3

xoxo

You are still in it.

Even though your actions were disordered that doesn't mean you aren't still striving for recovery. I know it is discouraging having relapses, I am also trying to accept this fact. That's good that you have your boyfriend to be accountable to. I used to tell my boyfriend every once in a while, but his reaction always pissed me off no matter what it was. Now we aren't together. ANYWAY. You're good sister.

There's Hope,
Piper

I know.....we gotta keep going!

Even though we mess up, we have to pick ourselves back up and start again. This does not make us quit completely. Just keep going, honey! I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel for all of us!

Binging is a normal consequence of restrictive eating. Be patient as it may take a few months of structured eating to reduce the binge urge.
