Not good today

[purple_daisy]

I'd been so good recently, hadn't b/p in quite a while but the last few days have been awful. Why did I have to throw all my progress away?? I'm feeling so shitty, its only eleven in the morning and I've been b/p already. I hate myself today!!! desperately trying to find things to do to stop myself but I just keep eating :cry I want out of this stupid ed, i hate myself for being so weak

Obviously you have made progress if you are able to say that you haven't b/p in a long time. Recovery is not perfect so you have to remember to look at how far you have come. So you have had a slip up. If you can try to understand why and work on the problem instead of focusing on the symptom (b/p).

Recovery takes time honey, and slip ups are usually inevitable. I b/p'd for the first time in three weeks y'day, and it hit me hard. I felt all the same frustration you describe, and after much yelling at myself, I finally decided that I wasn't going to let it keep me down. You are not weak. Strength comes not from being successful all the time, but from picking yourself up when you fall.

I'm here if you want to vent.
Feel better soon.

Hunni, you say yourself: 'I've been so good recently'

This statement in itself marks progress. YOU ARE DOING GREAT!

Recovery is hard. You will fall down. And every time, you will get back up. And you are. You are NOT a failure, you are working your butt off for this! I feel like because we often haven't done enough :digdeep, we are still anxious, fighting off the feelings of b/p but still wanting to.

It takes a lot of soul searching to find a place where you can be content in your own skin without needing to turn to food. But you WILL get there. You will. Just keep dusting yourself off. Put your binge behind you, learn from it.

Ask yourself why you did it???? What was going on that led you to it?

Once you can recognise the major triggers, you can work on alternatives to coping with them.

You are doing great
