It is wise to think of the year passing no matter what you do, because it always does. Unfortunately, I failed miserably on my "first binge-free" day - what else is new. I told myself that I'll try again this morning, but I just don't know if I'll ever be able to overcome this. I have had this issue for so many years, and I have had so many "first new shiny start-over" days - that always end in failure. It is very discouraging.
lisa, lisa, lisa, YOU DID NOT FAIL! You just found another way that doesn't work for you. There is no such thing as a binge-free day. the concept of a binge-free day requires the concept of binges in order to exist.
Reframe it. What will take the place of that thing you call a binge? Maybe binge eating is one of the ways that you self-soothe. Until you find another way, just improve the quality of the foods you binge on.
Then work on making a ____ full day. A day full of something rather than a day free of something.
I'm also trying to change my mind. When we change our minds our bodies and our behaviours follow.
