Is “Wanting to Binge” Holding You Back in Recovery?

Posted on:

(I originally wrote this as a guest post for bulimiahelp.org) Today, I’m going to address an issue that may be causing you some confusion and stagnation in your recovery. The issue is a common inner conflict, which can be described like this: Wanting to binge, while also knowing that you want to recover. Any eating disorder recovery program or philosophy would agree that wanting to recover is necessary for lasting success. If you’ve sought out recovery resources like my blog, you can rest assured that you have enough desire for recovery to move you forward. If you didn’t want to recover, you’d be binge eating and purging without regret and without feeling the need to change. But the reality is, you are experiencing enough consequences …

But did you know, that over time, chronic sleep debt could worsen your emotional and physical health? Sleep must become a higher priority Sleep deprivation is known to enhance negative affect and depressive/anxious symptoms, like difficulty concentrating, irritability and more.

Ending Emotional Eating: Leftover Halloween candy

Posted on:

I just saw a video from Jimmy Kimmel of an annual prank where he encourages parents to video themselves telling their kids that they ate all of the kids Halloween candy. I must admit it was funny to see the kids have such expressive (sad, mad) reactions. It also made me think of the torment some of us experience after the kids go Trick or Treating and now we are faced with lots of candy in the house or left over candy bought to give out to the kids. This situation can be really difficult for anyone with emotional eating issues. Just having the candy in the house can lead to overeating, obsessive thoughts (“do I eat it or don’t I”) and wondering how we can hide…
