> previous Aussie - stupidly married a Canadian - what was i thinking the weather is sh*t ! - far less binge eating in bikini season - which we dont see for 11months of the year here !!!
My husband is from Oz, although he's losing his accent. I keep telling him he has to take me home with him, to get his accent back. I was fortunate enough to spend a month in Melbourne some years back, while my ex was working on the Crown Casino, and loved it.
As for the binging, I've identified at least two trigger points for me: when I'm "punishing" myself, I'll eat much more than I want. I can't put these into words very well, but it certainly feels like punishment -- "you're such a worthless idiot, with no control." The other is something physical, although I don't know what. All I know is that, at my pdoc's suggestion, I tried taking an acid reducer like ranitidine, and it breaks the urge to binge. I don't know if that would help you, but it has certainly helped me.
Welcome to the Eating disorders board. I hope you'll stick around and join us here.
