What should I do after a binge?!
Question: What should I do after a binge!?
I'm recovering from anorexia and recently went on a HUGE, HUGE binge!. I'm sure I comsumed AS LEAST 3 or 4 days worth of calories!. I know I'm not going to much have time for exercise this week!. Would it reasonable to cut back for a few days in attempt to even things out!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
No, it wouldn't be reasonable, and I think you know that!. Because us eating-disordered individuals are always trying to come up with excuses and justifications for our symptoms and behaviors!. We need to stop doing that!. It's okay that you binged!. It's bound to happen!. When you've been depriving your body of nutrients for so long, it might take a while to get back on track!. And I *knowww* that you know that!. I don't think it's a good idea to restrict the next few days because let's face it - that might just restart the cycle and bring on another binge, or it could set you back on some of the progress that I'm guessing you've worked hard at making!. I know it seems reasonable since you figure the calories will average out anyway within the next few days!. But unfortunately, recovery doesn't really work that way!. You've got to be able to slip to one side of the spectrum and get yourself back to the center without swinging all the way over to the opposite side!. Does that make any sense!? My meds have worn off, I don't really know what I'm saying!. But I feel your pain!. Don't worry, we've all been there!. Bingeing screws over even the best of us sometimes, but we can't beat ourselves up over it!. We have to stand up, keep walking, and never look back!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You need to find time to fit in exercise!. Don't cut back since your recovering anorexia!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Just take it as a bad day and carry on eating normally for the rest of the week!. It may mean you gain a little weight but things will even out soon!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
before binging you have to realize that anything you eat can be burned off later!.
I am an anorexic but I never thrown up on purpose in all my time!. Because I knew that overeating can all be burned off in a couple days of diet and excercise!. And eating is good to keep the metabolism alive!. With anorexia often our metabolisms are dead but luckly if you have a problem snapping often and eating tons of food your metabolism doesn't go dead!. Which is a good thing, Don't throw up because its bad for your insides!. Just burn it off the following days!. You won't get fat, it takes time!.
"im a fully recovered anorexic" well almost!. I guess im an ex anorexic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
