I have had binging problems for a long time.....But when I started the vegan lifestlye, my binging almost stopped completely. Laterly however, like this past week, i've been doing it almost twice or three times a week.
Today, I am very sad. The last few times I've binged, it was still vegan food. But i just binged on dairy. I'm talking Nutella, Milk, White Chocolate, yogurt, cheese. I just ate it ALL. Binges are like trances, you get into this state, almost hypnotic like. So no thought of "i'm eating a poor cow's milk, she suffered so much for this piece of cheese" could help. I just kept eating and eating. And now i feel like crap, obviously. But beyond my physical discomfort is the guuilt, which is even worse. I'm trying to stay kind to myself though, but i just feel so hypocritical! urgh...everyone makes mistakes, and falls back though, right?
I think that in the beginning i really cut down on white sugar, which probably helped me stop binging. Because the biggest change lately is that I've started allowing myself un-cheescakes, chocolate, and other such sweet things regularly. A solution i've found is to simply not having it in the house. But does anyone have any other suggestions? Sugar is my worst enemy, really the worst of the worst. Because it not only makes me crave more sugar, it makes me crave...well everything. Does anyone have some advice they'd like to share? Do you have a binge problem? How do you fight it?
