I know how you feel. I'm trying to recover so I've been eating a lot lately and I feel so guilty about it. Whenever I feel guilty about eating I think about how I ended up at the ER due to a chest pain. It was scary and I never want to go through it ever again.

What can you do when you feel like this? You mean prevent purging right? Well, get out of the situation. leave, do something else instead of purging. Its up to you to make the dicision. Hang in there!

Yeah, I know how you feel. But a salad is definitly not bad it has like nothing in it. Vegetables are actually really good for you. You can get through this just keep reminding yourself that a salad isnt bad its good.

I know exactly how you feel.A lot of times, it doesn't matter how healthy or low in calories the meal is, but it is the volume of food that makes us panic. I'd say, go for a walk, or if it's raining, lift some freewieghts, just easy going exercise. This might help you feel like you deserve to have this, and help get your mind off it all. Try to hang on to feeling comfortable with having foods like this b/c it really sucks when you don't feel comfortabe with anything. Having a salad with chcken is so good for your body. take care!

its called an ED....imagine that....at least u came to the right place i guess......

Distraction. When I feel like you do (happens a lot at the mo) I clean out a cupboard, do some gardening, play cards with my boys. Anything that stops those sick ED thoughts invading your brain.

its not bad. you just feel bad cuz you're full. don't worry though. its not bad food. it is good food to be full on.

A chicken salad is pretty much as healthy as you can go. You have to talk yourself through ED's lies and try to distract yourself until the panick goes away. Go for a walk.

A chicken salad with fat free ranch dressing is absolutely healthy, low cal , and virtually no fat. Even if you used "too much" dressing, fat free dressing is what like 50 calories for 2 tablespoons? And 2 tablespoons is more than you think, so you might have actually used less than that ..I know..I've measured out my fat free salad dressing many a time :-)

Although it's hard to stop thinking of food in terms of 'good' and 'bad,' try to see it as just food. The chicken is a lean protein which is great for muscles, the fat free dressing adds practically nothing, and all of the vegetables in a salad are packed with vitamins and nutrients and are pretty much free of calories and great for your organs, skin, hair, nails, eyesight, heart; etc; etc.

When you feel like that, just try to think of how your body needs what you just ate. Even if you just had a piece of cake, try to think that your body needs the carbs to run, your body needs sugar, and your body needs some fat too. And fat does NOT make you fat, despite what people say. Try and sit with it, try and sit with it..

hey when i feel like i done something like that i go for a walk to get away so i dont purge.Or do something that u like too do.I'm here if u need to talk.Please dont give in i know it hard as hell.Hang in there u r worth it
