Every month, right before my period, all my good intentions
go to hell. It’s not uncommon for women to experience cravings at this time of
the month, due to raging hormones, and in people with bulimia, this can have
disastrous effects. My weekly total of behaviors spiked to about 6 instead of 1 or 2.
The thing about binging right before your period is that
it’s harder to resist than binging on normal days. You have all the
psychological triggers and you have extra hunger and bodily urges to eat
because of the hormones. Also, the stuff you crave right before your period
tends to be unhealthy stuff (at least for me), so if you give in to an urge to
eat some of it, there’s more incentive to continue down the path of binge,
rather than stopping yourself.
I think the best thing to do is to keep track of when your
period is and notice your cravings. It might help reduce them.
hey emily, i found this journal and feel soooo much, i dont know what to feel, but now i feel a bit secure. knowing that there's someone out there i've never met, doing and feeling the same thing as i do here. it late here and knowingly that it was June 2012, i wish you were better by now. i wish this binging-purging obsession doesnt exist anymore.
