Why am I not upset with myself for eating?!

Question: Why am I not upset with myself for eating?

Every day for the past three weeks I’ve eaten a diet that consisted of 700 calories and below (<700cal/day) and exercising by running at least 3 miles daily. But today, I ate Chex Mix, a Snickers bar, a pancake and chocolate cake frosting (don’t ask) and I’m not upset with myself as I normally am. I know that I have a serious problem – it’s called bulimia, for all of you who like to point out the obvious to scold me – I just want to know, why I am fine with this binge [without a purge]? I’m currently trying to find help as I’ve lived with this disease for two years now, so please don’t lecture me about it. Could you please tell me, why am I alright with this one binge and this one only?

Road to recovery. Embrace it!

I'm a 'recovered' bulimic. I still sometimes binge, with the intention to vomit after, then I don't. Just came over me one day that I didn't need to anymore, and I stopped.

Good luck!

you might feel like you deserve one "cheat day" and I'm sorry but you really should try to eat right. That's just not a healthy way to live. Be happy with yourself the way you are!

It could be because you deserve it after all you are eating under 700 calories. Its okay to have cheat days!
