Re: when does the binging stop!!??!!

[Guest guest]

I know I had a like fear when I began and I did legalizing of my most

'feared/distrusted' food - chocolate - as my way to over come that fear.

Basically what you do is show yourself that you can have what you want and will

make it available too. Binging on whatever it is at first is very normal, but

you really will come to think of whatever it is as FOOD and your mad drive to

eat eat eat it (now) will subside, and even in some cases, you may even get

tired of what is now sooooo desirable!!

Yes, some weight gain is often a part of this process, but most of us find it

reverses itself after legalizing is done.

been binging most days of the week. they are bad, thousands of calories,

emotionally driven, making myself ill binges. i understand that since i deprived

my body and mind for so long it is taking what it can get because it doesn't

know when another famine may come. but how long does it take your body/mind to

trust you with food again. i'm trying to accept the binges, but it makes me want

to ran packing from IE sometimes. for the pure fear of ballooning up.

Well, I think IE will not make you or encourage you to binge. You do give

yourself freedom, but not freedom to make yourself sick or do something that is

hurtful to yourself, like bingeing. You're giving yourself the freedom, which

should (ideally) take away the need to rebel. If you do binge, you see what

happens and that gives you the freedom to make choices that feel good to you,

not hurtful. Hope that makes sense. Maybe someone with more experience in IE

can explain it a little better. ;-)
