Hi guys! One of my hobbies is theatre and the performance days are coming up. In three days' time.
The costume I have to wear (blouse and skirt) fit just fine when I first had them fitted at the end of November. I actually meant to lose some weight in the months between then and now, but I had a really stressful period and I gained a little. Nothing too bad, though, it wasn't noticeable.
For the past ten days, however, I stayed with friends and all the things we ate consisted mostly of sugar - I don't think I've had a 'normal' or healthy meal at all. Once I had some sugary things (I'd been eating pretty healthy for the last months), my binge eating problem came right back. I started sneaking food to the bathroom to eat it, when they were not looking. I had chocolate, pancakes, muffins, ice cream, cereal, croissants etc... It's all I can think about now and I think that scares me the most.
Needless to say, my face is round like the moon. My stomach is not even flat when I hold it in anymore and my clothes are ill-fitting. But it's mostly my face, it feels so swollen and when I look in the mirror I'm repulsed by what I see.
I'm terribly afraid that I messed it all up and that I'll look ugly for the play and that my clothes will not fit properly. I know I'm probably not thinking straight anymore, and it's the sugar talking, but I've really lost all confidence and feel so bad about myself.
Is there any way to feel better? I'm not asking for a way to 'fix it fast', because I know it's a myth, but I would like to feel a bit better (not sluggish and constipated like I do now), and get back on track before the play.
I'm panicking, I don't want to go back to before, when my binge eating took over my life. Any and every advice from you is greatly appreciated!
