I just had my first successful attempt at sidestepping a binge session!

I’ve been dealing with binge eating disorder since March 2017, and tonight I finally was able to take those insanely strong urges to binge and throw them out the window!

I set a timer for 15 minutes and told myself that when the timer was up I could binge eat if I still wanted to. While the timer was counting down, I was looking online for advice when you want to binge and I came across this quote: “I can eat again tomorrow morning and the food will taste better because I’ll actually be hungry for it.”

So that got me thinking about my breakfast (oatmeal with a scoop of vanilla protein powder mixed in and topped with a tablespoon of cashew butter and fresh raspberries) and I thought about how good it was going to be and that I should really make it so I can grab it before I leave for work at 6:30 tomorrow morning. So I started making my breakfast and when I had finished making my breakfast and was just about to put it in the fridge, the timer went off! Every urge I had to binge eat was gone!

Here’s to hoping the timer technique can help me more in the future!
