hi Maria

i'm wondering if you found the 2 sets of questions for 'before' posts... they're the 3rd & 4th announcement posts on this forum. looking through those questions might help you think through your urge a bit more fully.

i think it's great that you've posted about loneliness on the coping board. i know you struggle with that a lot & i hope that people help you with suggestions & all.

i'm glad you found this forum... i'd suggest looking through the sets of questions & maybe answering as many as you can... & posting those. it might give us more information as to what's causing the urges for you. & taking the time to think through them & type out the answers might be a distraction for you as well.

what's on the cd you're listening to?

hey maria,

well don on posting here for help

what's happening for you right now?

what is the thought process behind the urge to binge?

what do you hope to gain from it?

what will you realistically gain from it?

i really hear you. that's a tough urge to fight; it's something i'm battling in my life right now, too. so i think that's fabulous that you're doing stuff to resist.

like plantt and angela, i think that answering questions about what's going on for you can be really helpful. i know that i often want to engage in ed behavior because of some uncomfortable emotion, and it can help to step back and really look at what i'm feeling.

hang in there.
