I’m mostly trying to talk this out for my own benefits. I’m trying to wrap my head around what causes a binge. For a few weeks, I haven’t had any insane hunger or cravings, which has been really nice. I work full time usually, and don’t really have time to binge because I’m usually so distracted or tired.
These past few days were my first few days off in about two weeks, and I’ve worked around 50 hr/week. I thought I was in a good place— I even went on a bike ride yesterday! But I’ve also been moderately stressed. Between trying to navigate and choose my first year classes at university to worrying about whether or not I’ll be able to cross the Canadian border to even GET to university, I’ve been a bit wound up. Haven’t had regular sleep and have been angrier and more resentful at work because I work with a lot of dipshit coworkers and the grocery store I cashier at is full of Karens.
On top of all this, my boyfriend, who lives in Canada and works full time as well seems to be bored of me. He gets home from work, calls me, asks maybe one question and then instantly logs on to play video games with his friends. I totally understand that he has a hard job too and probably just needs to unwind at the end of the day, but we haven’t seen each other since February since I live in the US and Covid shut down all the borders. I miss talking to him but every time I ask to just have a conversation he tells me not to “guilt him into talking to me”.
So tonight, I ordered Ben n Jerry’s, Oreos, and M&ms. While I waited for my food, I chowed down on toast with jelly and an absurd amount of cheese and crackers. I ended up not eating any of the food I ordered but the Oreos. What a waste of money. I feel so full and wasteful.
TL;DR I am stressed and binged. Does anyone have any coping and de-stressing mechanisms to help them avoid unhealthy food habits?
