So I was able to stop myself about 1/2 way through a binge tonight. I'm both proud - for stopping - and angry - for starting to begin with.
I set myself up for failure today. I started with a run which was good, but then the BF (who's leaving town tomorrow) and I went to breakfast where I was just a little indulgent (poached eggs, hashbrowns, dry wheat toast & jelly). Then, because I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible, I rushed to get to work and didn't eat lunch before hand or pack a proper dinner. Failing to plan is planning to fail.
So I succumbed to the vending machine, then on my break I printed out a picture for the BF to take with him and there was easter candy on sale in front of the check out. So I grabbed some. In the end I had a bag of pretzels from the vending machine, and some reeses peices, min cadbury eggs, and wheat thins. I didn't finish any of it. Thankfully, I thought to log onto PT and seeing other posts for Binge Free May made me stop. I think I still have to consider it a binge though. Argh! I'm so mad at myself. I know it stems from sadness - the BF is going to be gone for 3 months. I get to see him twice before he comes back, but that's still over a month away. I'm already missing him. I burst out crying in the middle of sex last night - partly due to the big O as well, but still.
I also feel like such a hypocrite for taking the JM detox and cleanse and then mowing down candy for dinner. Especially after I did so well yesterday going out. It just totally sucks.

Stress and unhappiness is such a huge factor in my binging too. I'm hoping that once I get out of my shitty job, I will be happier/less stressed out and will be able to control these urges.
You're so not alone! Not being able to control the one thing you really can control is so frustrating!! Sometimes I just want to scream.
