Addiction & Recovery
Related: About this forumHeaded to bed. No big binges. No purging. A little uncomfortable about probably being over on
calories, but I will live. Cant make the same guarantee about climbing back into my hamster wheel, so I made the better choice. A good day deserves a good nights sleep. No guilt, shame, or frantic fear.

(123,111 posts)went on a carb spree. I gained half the weight i lost back. Now i'm losing again. I do have Ensure for when i need a meal replacement or for when i get a cold that seems covidlike. Taking vitamins. And zinc lozenges that are supposed to stop covid. Relax. You were over a bit today. You'll be back tomorrow eating right and being healthy.

(4,964 posts)I binged and purged and I thought I was "getting away" with it. I had a normal weight and sometimes, underweight. Then I went for a regular check-up and was diagnosed with fatty liver because of all the sugar I was consuming (that I falsely thought) I was purging away. I was scared crapless! I was so frightened that I immediately stopped the behavior. I was scared about the calories, but I was more frighted of liver disease.
For our physical and psychological well being, being uncomfortable with the calories for a while, until your new behavior, healthier behavior becomes the new norm is well worth it. Sleep well and day at a time.
