I'm stuck in an extremely unhealthy cycle and don't know how to break !


Question: I'm stuck in an extremely unhealthy cycle and don't know how to break out of it?
I have several habits that i thought I had kicked but apparently are still present. I recently lost a lot of weight and was feeling very confident about myself and my nhealthy eating habits. Lately though I have found that when i am upset about something i am going back to food, I'll have a day where I bing then the next day won't eat at all to try and balance it out. I know this isn't healthy,I always feel awful after and say I won't do it again, but i do. The other issue is insecurity, I am dating someone who is great to me, but as soon as something seems slightly 'off", like cancelling plans or not calling, i immediatly go into panic mode and begin to stress about it. I don't verbalize this to him, but it is driving me crazy. I have a full life i work, run, go out with my friends, how do i change my way of thinking to be more positive?

Answers:

You may have changed your ways but you never addressed why you over ate to begin with. That needs to be worked on so you don't use eating as a vice or something to make you feel better. (it is the same with any addiction, like alcoholics turn to drinking when they get upset.) You know that binging isn't going to help the matter, so address what is and go find an healthy alternative. Maybe you need to speak up for yourself.

Which brings me to the relationship. You do need to speak up for yourself. I've been in a number of relationships where someone said they would call and didn't. That makes us feel like crap and it's disrespectful. It's not a healthy relationship. You need to say something. You really do. He may have perfectly good reasons why he doesn't call but he needs to tell you what they are and you need to let him know you are uncomfortable with this. Maybe something as simple as saying "Gee, I was waiting for you to call last night...what happened?" He can be the nicest guy in the world but if you get upset -- SAY SOMETHING.



Have trust in your partner. Relationships can be a real stress-er if you get paranoid about them. As for your eating habits, you should try to get into a cycle of certain times you eat each day, and keep up with it. It takes lots of work to break a bad habit, and once its broken you will feel a lot better throughout your day. Hope this helped >.<

Whenever you think about food, do 50 pushups and run a mile.
