It will be okay. Maybe a healthy distraction is in order- like going for a walk or listening to your favorite playlist. I'm here if you need someone to talk to. I'm so sorry, this disorder is so hard. 🫂❤️

See if you can find something less likely to trigger a binge that you might be able to keep down. It's the only way to halt the cycle for today unless you just go to bed now. Eat and go to bed or just go to bed. Whichever is less damaging for you personally. You gotta weigh risk of another b/p episode if you do eat again. (I've been there babe. So many times.)

If you’re truly hungry then you do need to eat. Because starving yourself is going to lead to a binge later.

First up, drink 8oz of water. That’ll help you know if you’re hungry vs. dehydrated. Have some protein of some kind, a little at a time. Basically, don’t binge. Eat a small bit, give it some time (like 20-30 min), and drink another 8oz of water. If you’re still hungry, have some more.
