Wow. I just fought an incredibly strong urge to binge. It was one of those "Oh my God there is nothing more I want to do on this earth right now besides stuff my face with food,"moments. I decided that I'd distract myself with Ellen and some food porn on the Food Network (lol), and NOT give into the urge because I knew that eating would be a trigger for me to purge. I need to get away from the purging. A few weeks ago it was happening 5-6 times a day, practically every time I ate. Since I've been working on not bingeing or purging my breakfast, I got my purging down to about 4ish times per day. Yesterday (my first day on Prozac), I only had ONE episode of bingeing and purging!
I couldn't believe it! I am hoping to try and keep it at one time a day, but I feel that might be a bit of a long shot. Just gotta remember to take things day by day.
What do you do for distraction techniques? I find this concept very hard lol- Even when I'm trying to distract myself, I'm STILL thinking about food.
Stay strong, stay YOU

This blog is my attempt to share my journey towards recovery from my eating disorder. My goal is to educate, empower, and ultimately inspire others that while recovery is a long and gruelling road, it comes with such reward and eventually freedom. I hope to focus on the positive and not dwell in the negativity which we are so prone to in these difficult times. I truly want to help others understand that they are not alone in this. One day, we will be free from this hell.
