Hi Li,
bingeing on sweets and carbs:
-when under stress to perform
-to numb anxiety or other negative feelings
-cope with problems
-to supress emotions
-to deal with stressThis really resonates with me. My binges are anxiety invoked, though I purge, too, which doesn't really help the anxiety that caused the binge.
I think your solutions and affirmations are well thought out. My affirmation is *Bingeing and purging will not eliminate my anxiety.* Though I haven't listened to myself much lately. My bulimia is really out of control right now. Repeat affirmation, Poet, repeat, repeat, repeat.
I really think you've nailed what triggers your binges and how to slow them down or better yet stop them in their tracks. Really good self analysis.
