Hello everyone! I am currently reading 'Brain over Binge' and I thought that joining the forum would be a great way to put my struggles out there as a form of responsibility to myself.
I fell under the vicious cycle bingeing about twi years ago, and I am not sure why. Was it because of my past of dieting and strict dieting, or was it for other reasons I am not fully aware of. Nevertheless, all this period when I was binging was very bad. I gained a lot of weight (about 75lb because I never purged the day after a binge) and my social life suffered tremendously and lost motivation for pretty much everything I loved doing (working out, my studies). The more I think about it, the more depressing the thought gets. I am not even 22 years old and I am already feeling THAT miserable about myself. It's not right to feel bad about yourself at any age, and especially at such a young age.
I was overjoyed when Kathryn's book came to my mail few days ago. I was excited to read it because I knew that I don't have anything to loose. I am halfway through right now, and it's already giving me hope that I can do better than I am doing now. To be honest, being sick and tired and truly LIVE on days only when the urge to binge doesn't occur is very exhausting.
So, I decided to join the forum and create this thread to share my experience in overcoming my long-lasting battle with food and myself. Who knows, it might even inspire someone else. :]
Best wishes!
