Title: Ever have one of those nights??
Post by: Lilu323 on December 28, 2008, 07:36:25 PM

I just finished eating chocolate chips cookies with a bag of doritos with probably half  bottle of gatorade. I dont know if I am just blah or going to get my little friend or just really really depressed. Part of me just wanted to feel normal for a little bit just stuffing my face and drinking and not worrying about anything for a night. Anyone get like this? I have no idea how I followed this diet when I was 7 to 10 years old. I must have  driven my mom nuts. I do remember that when I was 10 I was much older and wiser  >:D and hide a bottle of water under my bed but that didnt last long until my mother found it. Anyway needed to make a confession about what I did tonight seeing that I have a full belly of food and liquid.

I say everything in moderation. I agree sometimes you just want to say I would like to be normal and munch away. Not good but, WTF...Boxman

I have been a compulsive eater for most of my life.   Binge eating, whether chronic or episodic, is usually a way to deal with strong emotional states, whether feeling really manic or really depressed.  The key is being able to identify when you are in a strong emotional state, and then have a strategy fro dealing with it (exercise, talking to a friend, an internal script, or reading something that brings you to equilibrium)

I did similar stuff as just a diabetic with normal food when I was a kid.
It's just part of being human I think.

My feelings are to follow the diet given to you as best you can. Most times I seem to do this with no problem. But sometimes you just have to cheat. My weakness is chips but unsalted just doesn't cut it, nor does counting 27 chips to maintain the sodium level. But I figure if I don't make a habit of it, it will be okay. Everyone has weakness and sometimes we get tired and just have to give in and boy does it feel good when we do. Don't beat yourself up over it just try to keep on track for the next few days.
