Distraction Techniques Anyone?

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
