once agian, very frustereated with myself. 15 is far too young to have BED. but i guess any age is too young. i'm being plagued with the "i'll stop tomorrow's." i hate this so much. everyday i say to myelf that i'll stop tomorrow. and everyday i don't! so, since i'm blabbling, my point is that i need help- extra motivation. anyone else here have this problem??? Why does it have to be so hard.

sorry that that was really scatter-brained-
laina (love!)

I know what you mean about the "tomorrows". I recovered from my ED, but I still do that with plenty of other things in my life. My advice is to start whenever you think of it. Instead of saying "I'll start tomorrow", just start now. It's hard, but absolutely necessary.

I do the same thing too. I think well there's always tomorrow, like that gives me the right to ruin today! I should say, there's always the moment that starts now. I can't change the past but I can change what I'm doing this moment. If you want the problem to be fixed tomorrow, than today is when you have to fix it. Just get up every day and try. Do you try to restrict on the days that you don't binge? That's part of my problem. I set myself up for binges by eating a bit too little on the days I don't binge to 'make up for the binges.' It doesn't work, though, and only leads to more binging. Next time you want to binge take the food that you want to eat and mush it up under the faucet with your hands. It feels so good to ruin the food instead of letting it ruin your day. Try anything. You may still binge, but at least then you'll know what doesn't work and you can try something different next time. There are probably over a million people in this country with at least some degree of binge eating, so you're by no means alone. You should congradulate yourself for working to find a solution rather than just going on with it ruining your life. You'll get there!
