Normally I am a quiet person but now i need to kind of speak up.
I need some cheerleaders guys. Encouragement and yes, maybe constructive criticizm if needed.(please, be easy ok)
For the past three weeks I have been engaging in binging. I thought i stopped this behavior years ago but three issues have come up in my life that caused me to turn to sweets as a comfort. I know that is not the way but I did.
It started with eating cookies every night after class the 1st week, the second week cupcakes every night, and the last week one of those $1.79 Hershey bars. The last thing that made me feel horrible was when I ate half of a cake. I did not want to eat this, but it seemed to fill the void and make me forget the trouble..until morning and my weigh ins.
This made me feel guilty since it affected my training. We have mirrors everywhere at the dojo and i can't do my forms very well when I see i put on 5 pounds, it may not seem to be a lot but doing kicks, flying, etc, it is.
I am not excusing myself, and I know I am responsible for my feelings, but I really need some cheerleaders to encourage me at this time.
I started now by forgiving myself, and writing out what was bothering me. When i feel I want to binge, I ride my bike, jog, or work out more at the dojo.
My friend cares for me the way I am, and everyone else seems to humor me and not really try to help.
What else can I do when i want to binge? Should i go out more? Write things down? Any advice would help.
sorry for the long post.
