I am so fortunate to have such a support group here. I talked to a therapist yesterday who has a binge eating group, and does individual therapy for it. She has a specific program that she follows with great success in helping people like me. She said that I've living in deprivation mode, and a person can only do that for so long before it just gets too hard, and most people's bodies will start to resist it. Yep, that would be me. If my insurance covers it, I'm going to enroll in the program. It can work hand-in-hand with Dr. Jenn Berman's No More Diets plan.
One of Dr. Berman's suggestions is to think of a food that is nearly impossible to resist. Then think about how much of it you could eat in one sitting. Then, go to the store and buy three times the amount you think you could eat. Then she outlines a plan on how to teach yourself to enjoy what you want, without overeating it and feeling guilty.
I'm going to be working on different parts of the plan, and I'll share with you what I'm doing and how I'm feeling each day.
