No Self-control.

Post by xmcrx37 » Tue Jul 17, 2007 3:50 am

I have been trying so hard for days. To stop eating. I was doing good, untill this afternoon. I had only eaten twice in the past 30 hours. And then I ate a whole load of crap. Potato chips, and pretzels, and yogurt, and I don't know what else. And thhis only makes me feel like I have no self-discipline. No self-control, and that makes me think of SI'ing. I don't know what to do. :oops:

why are you trying to stop eating?
if it's a self-control issue, i definitely understand.
but the thing is, if you starve, you're going to end up binging. your body needs food.
so maybe instead of not eating, you could pre-portion your meals?
something healthy, like "tomorrow, i'm going to eat x for breakfast, x for lunch, and x for dinner, with one snack, and no extra snacking."
that way, eating is your form of self-control.

but don't be too hard on yourself.
i understand where you are, and it's hard.
i'm totally here if you need to talk or just need someone to listen.

take care
