I thought I was getting top of it but a friend, who had previously devastated me, hurt me again today, so off I went to the shop and bought two mini pizzas. I then ate two bags of crisps and a bag of chocolate eggs. I started the day well with a bowl of berries, my plan had been to drop DCs off to school then come home and have poached eggs with veg (I work for myself from home) but on the way home my friend broke my heart again and I just feel empty and sad and I want to fill the hole with food. It’s my own stupid fault for reaching out to her and ignoring my instincts and I’ve just upset myself.
But now I just want to eat and eat and eat. I’m having counselling for this but I don’t like my counsellor and she makes me feel bad about myself but it’s NHS counselling and I’m scared if I request another one I’ll get kicked off the programme.
Just wanted to say it to someone really, hoping by writing this down it might help me stop myself.

Force yourself to work out in the morning before everyone wakes up and dont have binge food at home. Force yourself to work out twice a day. Counselling can stir up emotions, you need healthy coping mechanisms alongside this like try mental health apps as well.
It takes time to build new habit so just keep forcing yourself to exercise it will be easier after 6 months.

Thank you all, these are all very reassuring. I need to just accept what I’ve done and stop now, and get back on track.

That's what I find hard.
If I make a mistake and eat a load of crap, I don't always manage to reset.

I think that’s what I’m afraid of. The last year has been so hard and I was just getting myself to a stable point and then this happened and it’s set me right back. It’s so stupid as I know it’s not worth wrecking myself over, but it’s just opened up a huge hole again.
