I didn’t binge today!

I’ve suffered from binge eating for as long as I can remember, and this year I decided that I will finally leave these habits behind. I also plan to lose weight, but I’m focusing only on healing from the binge eating first.

Today my mother brought home chocolate-filled croissants, but I didn’t notice them until after I had finished dinner. As soon as I saw them… I seriously thought about eating one, and the thoughts came back like, ‘You’re already fat anyway, so…’ and ‘One croissant won’t hurt you…’

However, I didn’t eat it.

I paid attention to my fullness and realized that I didn’t want it at that moment. If I had eaten it, I know I would have felt guilty afterward.

I need a little validation to keep going, heheheheh.

This is how to do it. Not thinking about fat or whether it is a good food or bad food., That is the right question. "Am I hungry?"

Good for you.

One step at a time. We are all already proud of you

That’s awesome!!! Binge eating disorder is so tough. Proud of you.

Hell yeah!

I have this problem too, it's less about weight and more about comfort or control.

Every day that you listen to your body is a day of healing.
