We're pretty much just chancing things. If we end up preggo, we end up preggo. We're not using any protection and I'm practicing all my "techniques" the dr showed me on how to get preggo with Kiley and Brianna. We're trying out luck. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be.

I'm reading about eating disorders right now: My gosh I have almost Every symptom of the binge eating one. Ya know.. I use to be anerexic..and now this! This sucks!!!

HERE'S what I just Read:
It's on how to take care of yourself when you know you have one.

Emotional self-care and eating disorders


People who have eating disorders are often very critical of themselves. Learning to be easier on yourself is very important.

Pace yourself if you are feeling weak. Everything you do may take more time and effort. Do not expect to do all the things you want to do right away. Choose what is most important and do those things first. Break larger tasks into smaller ones and do what you can.
Remember that negative thinking (feeling bad about yourself, feeling hopeless, and thinking you are unattractive) are part of your condition. As you work with the health professionals, you will start to feel better about yourself.
Remember that it takes time to recover from unhealthy eating habits. Your body needs time to readjust itself. As you begin to eat in a healthier way, you will feel better and have more energy.
Do not expect too much from yourself too soon. Your desire to have all things in order is probably not achievable. Learn to accept your good qualities.
Spend time with other people. Do things you like to do. If you do not have any hobbies, try something new and see whether you like it. Resist the temptation to give up on something too soon.
Do not blame yourself for your condition or try to find out why this is happening to you. It is better to work on getting better than to spend time trying to answer questions that may not have answers.
Cooperate with the health professionals working with you. Resist the temptation to avoid new ways of looking at yourself and your situation. Learn to accept your good points.

SYMPTOMS
Binge eating is diagnosed when you have:

Eating episodes where you:
Eat an unusually large amount of food within a short period of time (within a couple of hours).
Feel no control over eating or the ability to stop eating during the episode.
Three or more of the following behaviors:
Eating more quickly than normal
Eating until feeling uncomfortably full
Eating large amounts of food when not physically hungry
Eating alone due to embarrassment over the amount you are eating
Feeling disgusted with yourself, depressed, or very guilty after overeating
Great distress about the episodes of binge eating.
Binge eating episodes at least 2 days a week for at least 6 months.
Episodes of overeating only, without regularly making yourself vomit, fast, or excessively exercise. Your overeating is also not associated with anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa.
Binge eating disorder involves attempts at restricting the diet that may alternate with binge eating. Sometimes one binge can merge together with the next binge with no period of dieting in between. Up to 33% of those who are considered obese have binge eating disorder.1 A significant weight gain often occurs as a result of repeated and chronic binge eating episodes, even though you may also have intermittent days of fasting or restrictive dieting.

Depression, anxiety, or other anxiety disorders commonly occur along with binge eating disorder, which makes treatment and recovery more difficult.

Some people eat limited amounts of food in the early part of the day and consume most of the day's food after the evening meal; this is called night eating syndrome.

"Some people eat limited amounts of food in the early part of the day and consume most of the day's food after the evening meal; this is called night eating syndrome.
Binge eating is diagnosed when you have"

damn...everything has to be a condition or disease or syndrome...i am tired today...i have thursday morning depressed energy disorder....give me a break.

there are penty of things out there that I do believe are true disoders and diseases but by labeling them like that you leave the door open for people to blame a disease for what is really their own sortcommings or lack of self control.

"My kid has ADD"...maybe he does...but more than likely you just failed to be a parent and discipline him...or failed to take the time to figure out why he is acting out and find a solution.

be VERY careful self-diagnosing yourself off of questionarre tests like the one you posted....i bet 90% of the people who looked at it had several of those symptoms...does that mean they have a real eating disorder...NO...not neccesarily.

(please dont think this is directed at you Stacey...its not...i dont know all the history about your situation....its just that those sort of tests make people freak out and think they have some disorder which only contributes to the problem wich in most cases is some sort of self-esteem issue or emotional attachment to food)

 

[ncgirl21]

I use to have a bad bad problem with binge eating. I would look for the fattest foods with the most calories, even if it wasn't one of my favorite foods, just because it was a "bad" food. Once I messed up I'd just say screw it, I'll start over tomorrow, but tomorrow usually didn't come .

I stopped though, it took time, but I did. Sometimes I still get the urge to pound down a ton of chocolate, cake, cookies, etc. but for the most part I'm fine. What helped me the most was moderation. If I really want something I eat it, but just one serving, not one box. Once I stopped thinking of certain foods as "off limits" or "bad" foods they weren't as appealing to me.

Good Luck Stace with the baby!! Keep us posted!!

 

[naturaltan]

Hey Jillie, Greeky, Jodie!! Yep Me too--Its hard but I have done MUCH better in the last 3 days!!!

 

[Stacey]

Morning Babsie!!! Your sooo FUNNY!

MORNING Fitgirl, Nt, DrChiro, Jodie!!

I'm having a great day today!!!! A co-worker brought her new puppy up here so I could see it b/c she knows I'm an animal Freak!! ITS SOOOO CUTE.. A little bitty cocker spaniel..ohhh I want one. But we are suppose to be getting a yellow lab puppy in 3 weeks!!

I figured if I have to chew a bunch of sugarfree gum for the next month to get me through this then I will.. Usually I allow myself one piece a day--but this gum will be better..and it helps me fight the cravings. Guess I like stuff in my mouth! hehe

 

[Stacey]

Dr Chiro-- you are right about some of that. I do agree. However.. I have had a REAL eating disorder when I was 16 years old till I was 18 then I got better--went to college..didn't care--came home..started dating an abusive guy emotionally & physically..constantly telling me to loose weight..where this, where that...color my hair this way..blah blah blah.. he made me drop to 113 (& I am 5'5 1/2) sooooo.. I do have a history there

I know that I can fight this crap thats going on with me though much better than I could a few years ago. I'm a much stronger person. I just have to drop all the self pity crap about endometriosis..that alone has made me a crazy emotional chick. uggggg...but I'm on Day 3 of doing great!

 

[Stacey]

Thank you NCgirl!!!!! I hope you are doing good!!!!!!

 

[JLB001]

One piece of gum per day? I would die. I chew way too much of that stuff. It's my addiction.

 

[Stacey]

hehehehe Yep.. I chew the cininamon hot spicy sugarfree one--yummmm!!

Oh its gonna be my new addiction!
