ate myself sick last night
I have been in eating disorder treatment twice, and one of the things I learned, that I have yet to practice regularly, is self-soothing. I have a list of self-soothing skills that I can turn to when I am jammed up and want to binge, or act out, or drink.
1. Deep breathing exercises.
2. Visualization recording
3. Journaling
4. Bubble bath
5. Classical music with candlelight.
6. Physical exercise
7. Phone calls to other women in AA
8. Cleaning my apartment.
9. Reading scriptures.
10. Praying
11. Meditating
Try one or all of these things next time you are tempted to binge.
Also, are you in psychotherapy? I would highly recommend that you seek it, as it can give you insight into what makes you tick.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
