I'm a recovered anorectic. I still have issues with satiety.
Honestly, I am not accustomed to being so satisfied! It's stressful, isn't it? Spontaneous eating (what you ate didn't sound like a binge to me, but rather spontaneous, unplanned eating)!
Truly, it's all a part of getting back into balance again.
It takes time. It requires gentleness. You are human, and well...it was one episode.
I confess, if I binge it is on CAFFEINE (i.e. caffeinated beverages), hard candy (yup, more than 3 pieces is just obscene to me!), and uh, veggies...and I pay the price for eating too many veggies in D or gas...ditto for the caffeine!
Truly, be kind to yourself. And NOT HAVING BREAKFAST is the worst thing you can do...it perpetuates the feast/famine mentalitiy and then you get into bulimia and the cycle never ends.
Anorectics set themselves up with impossible ideals, and go about a lethal self-abnegating pursuit of those goals. It takes time to make friends with food and trust yourself.
You can do it, Julia. Just HONOUR YOUR CRAVINGS in your diet.
It's so hard not to be a "nazi" in my own kitchen--but babysteps! Structure in treats and honour yourself with good old-fashioned healthy IBS-safe foods, too.
In honour of you, dear Julia, I had 3 marshmellows as a treat.
Surrender, Julia...it's not really about food. It's about power, control, perfectionism, spiritual identity.
Having breakfast is the most self-loving, respecting, affirmative thing you can do and it will help you avoid the feast/famine bulimic potential.
Kate.
