Hey Frankie

Sorry about such a massive delay in replying, I really hope I'm not too late and that you have managed to avoid binging. Having the urge to binge really is horrible. You can't think about anything else, and I know personally when I feel that way I can't stop thinking about the foods I'd really like to eat and then I plan on how I can get them!

You said you've had this urge since Wednesday, it's fantastic you haven't get given into this urge. You've lasted so long Frankie, you don't need to give in now. You are doing something right at the moment, keep going. Use your strength and willpower to overcome this. Has binging been a problem for you for a long time? Is there something you normally do when you feel this way? I found this you tube video for you that I thought you might find useful. It has distractions and tips on how not to binge. In fact you might find the whole channel useful, so have a look through the videos. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DLYUMGgVkM

You mentioned something had happened to give you the urge to binge, do you want to tell us a little bit more about that? It's really great you can identify what triggers you because this can help you avoid them in the future.

I feel it's really important to make sure you don't begin purging Frankie. Once this happens it can easily become a dangerous habit and it have so many health complications, though I'm sure you are already aware of this. Do everything you can to avoid this from happening. You don't need to do this to yourself.

If you ever want to chat about any of this, or the reason you have urges to binge, just be in touch Take care <3

I havenyt I havnt binged yet. And the reason I want to is because my mother was drunk off her ass infront of me and pulled out a knife infront of me too and the cops. Now she is in a 14 day detox them she will probably go to another 30 day rehab and she is going to miss my birthday uet again. Im at olive garden right now and they have all you can eat pasta so right there is a big hazard right now expecially since everyone in my my family is getting it. So idk this might be it for me right now. Im on my phone right now so I will go into a lot more when I get home on my laptop. And I will look at the video when I get home too because I gotta eat and control myself right now

Oh, Frankie, I am so sorry to hear about what you went through with your Mum, that must have been awful for you I hope you have someone to talk to about what happened and someone supporting you through that. It's a pretty traumatic thing to go through!

Stay strong now, okay? You can stay in control. Keep yourself distracted and focus on converstaion with the people your with. You can do this

Hey there,

I'm sorry to hear things are so rough for you right now! And I am especially sorry to hear about your mother. Those kind of things FOR SURE can trigger one into wanting to binge and purge. But you don't need it. If you've never engaged in this sort of activity before, then I don't think you should. Obviously there are a ton of health problems associated with binging and purging. It doesn't seem worth it to me. Because, well, it isn't. I went through five years of that, and it's not something you want to start doing.

But I know my warnings aren't enough. I think the best way to be distracted is to get out of the house, out of the area that would make it easy to do these things. Why not go take a walk? Fresh air could make one feel loads better! You could try hanging out with friends. Friends are pretty awesome at distracting you, even if they don't know what's going on. Another good thing you could do is something that keeps your mind and hands busy. They're a winning combo if you can keep them distracted! Things that could keep both distracted include: Drawing, writing, playing a game, cleaning, legos, texting, etc.

If you ever need anything, let me know<3
