Most people aren't looking for perfection and being "perfect" isn't real
anyway. It's dealing with your own foibles and flaws that make you
stronger
and help you grow on the inside instead of the outside

Exactly. I have read a psychiatrist who says that when dealing with
bulimics, he considers that one "moderate" event from time to time (like
once a month) is "good enough". He considers that trying to go for "perfect"
and attempting to cancel all the events is counter-productive and can be
unbalancing enough to cause full blown relapses. On the other hand, letting
the bulimic know that she can engage in a crisis if the presure is too
strong, that it is okay and how to deal with it properly (brushing her teeth
and taking an anti-acid to protect her body...) takes off enough presure
that the events eventually become less and less common, or even disappear
altogether.
Likewise with binges, where guilt only manages to trigger a stream of
additionnal binges after the first event. Binging a few times a year could
be considered 'good enough". Normal people call these "birthday parties" and
"thanksgiving". The only difference between a real binge and a
thanksgiving party is that the later is done with (a little) more moderation
and is an enjoyable event that only triggers good feelings, which is
probably why people don't feel the need to do that kind of stuff once a
day...

Thank you i I really appreciate you here and thank you for your
faith in me. You ALWAYS such have faith in me and this is 'healing' if
you know what I mean. Thanx again ,

You can do it, Glo.

It's such a fine line between eating too much and not eating enough for many
of us. I often have a tough time readjusting my calories to those days when
I'm really active. I find myself starving at the end of the day and hunting
through the cupboards late at night trying to feed the growling stomach.

Just jump back on the wagon and continue!

OKAY Here I am after a stupid binge. YIKES I thought I was no longer
going to turn my back on this BETTER WAY OF LIVING but........ I went
off of the track in a major way. You KNOW I could be at my VERY IDEAL
size if I wouldn't do this! I jst kind of turned my back at MYSELF and I
just didn't want to face this until last night. That's when I just sat
quietly and I put MY PLAN back inside my head for the millionth time.
I'm better tody. I got up this AM feeling strong ! I'll keep at this BUT
I have about 5 LBS to get rid of . Oh CRAP, I'm NOT too smart. But Jay ,
Jay really hit the 'nail on the head' when she said that I needed to be
careful of NOT eating enough. It's TRUE! I found this out the HARD WAY.

Now I'm READY to get back!!

Cross your fingers for me

Do you actually have anything to say or are you just flooding the
newsgroup with drivel?
