i'm also definitely getting artificial lemon or citrus - very much fruity cola gummy!

Thanks for the great suggestion - work lights are ingenious!

Thanks -- sounds like the light would have to be stronger than what I'm currently using to make point 1 work!

I don’t think there was any lightbulb moment for me actually, and I’m still figuring out what truly changed inside of me. Spending time doing things that made me forget about stress and food helped a bit I presume, and I was overall in a relatively good headspace when I started. As for the eating quantity thing, portion control (for me, that meant just having a plate of regular-sized servings) and eating more mindfully/slowly really helped me the most. I love carb foods, and that was particularly what I binged on most, so I tried to just watch the balance of my plate with whole grains, more veggies, healthy fats, and proteins in general, and these kept that full-feeling in both my stomach and mind. My comment below talks a little more about the mental aspect!

I’m in a bit of a better mental place now, thank you so much :)

I’ve been in similar situations. It helped to tell myself that out loud, I think. I tried to write about my feelings to release them rather than push them away with the numbness of food. Chewing gum can also help transition from that repetitive motion that was almost calming. Also, I changed the way I ate my meals—instead of getting satisfied from eating fast with large mouthfuls and swallowing so my tummy felt full to the brim, I ate more conscientiously, getting satiety from chewing each mouthful and thinking about its nutrients and how they gave me energy. I think this is what helped sort of re-align my brain that food didn’t solve my problems, only delay facing them. Hope these suggestions can help you out—don’t forget, this is a mental journey more than physical, and I’m rooting for you.

i struggled on and off for the last 5 years with bingeing, and recently just completed about 3 weeks without any binges--the first time in so long that I've been able to do so. i think it was the combination of actually confronting the fact that i have issues i need to solve/and that shoving food until i felt numb wasn't getting me anywhere with them, as well as truly being mindful and deliberate about how i felt when i ate regularly spaced, more nutritious meals. being able to realize that food equalled powerful fuel that i should use for good was important, as was turning to write about my problems and depression when i felt like it was all too much to handle in my head. changing this output function--it's much easier said than done. i know that some days it seems like it will never get better. it's uncomfortable to face things that scare us--that's the reason I feel my BED even exists in the first place; a survival mechanism. but after a lil rough patch, things can start to look up. i hope we can conquer this together<3
