To ask you to keep me distracted

[HerRoyalRisesAgain]

I have binge eating disorder. And I'm currently 8 days without a binge. I'm extremely proud of myself.
But...
I can feel the urge rising and need distracting.
So come talk to me. About anything and everything. Give me something to focus on other than this urge.

I know logically I'm not hungry. I've eaten plenty today (I'm on 2200 calories calories day) but that littke voice in my head is saying I've managed a whole week and I should just let myself binge because what harm can it do?

To answer the voice, a lot of harm. I'm 19st 9lb and only 5ft 5in. So I'm huuuuge.

I'm rambling now. Please help me MN.

I second jigsaws! I can’t drag myself away. I don’t think I would have got through January in lockdown without them. Literally while away hours.. and hours..
The New York Puzzle Company ones are beautiful quality.

If you live near Reading I’d be happy to meet for a walk and a chat some time 😃

Hesma thank you for your kind offer. Unfortunately I'm not near Reading.

Just coming on to thank you all. I'm now 2 weeks without bingeing!
So thank you all so much for helping me get through the rough bits and supporting me. I couldn't have made it to this mini milestone without you all.

I'm now viewing the ED as I did smoking. I quit smoking 6 years ago, and I took that a day at a time until there was just no point in smoking again. That's how ill deal with the binges. One day at a time. And then there will be no point in doing it again. I've proven to myself I can manage without.

Great news! Only saw this thread now, but hooray for you!

Yay! Well done. Great attitude.
But keep coming back if you have a wobble, we'll always be here.
