okay so here’s the 411, you restricted all day, had a bite of your fave stimulating food and in a blur you emptied the whole fridge and pantry
you feel sick , disgusting, you wanna vomit and you feel bad. you think to yourself “how could i have let this happens once again”

⁃any form of purging
⁃restricting the day after (ill get into that later)
⁃be mean to urself physically or mentally
⁃take lax pills

step 1
be kind to urself no matter how frustrated u are. it sounds so .. but it’s such a huge step in moving forward. how u gonna wanna get better and resent urself at the same time

step 2
DRINK WATER but not too much! a glass worth should be fine, or you could make tea (no sugar) it’s a good alternative. ik ur thinking “why would i wanna do that if i’m full to the rim” and i could not give you a scientifical
answer but u just have to trust me on this one

step 3
i always used to binge at night so after i was done, i’d go straight to sleep. assuming this is the case for you let’s move to part 2 (and if u binged in the middle of the day i could make another thread abt ways to distract urself)

the day after
the day after
so you just woke up and you’re slowly starting to remember the horrid incidents of last night. i’m gonna have you drink 1L of water within the 30 minutes of you waking up.
you also might be like “well don’t i need to weight myself first?”.. nope not today, bc today were focusing your mental state rather than physical 
so drop whatever diet you were on for just one day it’s not gonna k!ll you

i also talked abt how you shouldnt restrict the day after and that’s something i live by,, im also not saying don’t have 4000 cals but yknow what i mean?
wanting to fix things by eating as low as possible the next day is only gonna entrain a binge restrict cycle which is so hard to get out of. anyways back to the scheduled program
step one
after you’re done drinking ur water, i recommend doing a bit of yoga,meditation or stretching to ease ur mind even if it’s for just 5 minutes, do it

you’re gonna have breakfast, preferably light especially if you’re still hurting from yesterday, here are a few ideas:
fresh fruits,avo toast, smoothies, fruit bowls, pastries, cereal, oatmeal, sandwhich, cookies ...
recipes (pinterest is the holy grail)
note: try to not snack too much throughout the day but keep from depriving yourself
step three
you’re gonna want to distract yourself as much as you can and focus on non ed related things to shift back to reality

step four
what i did was that i sorta combined lunch and dinner so in total i would only have 2 meals in the day (you don’t have to do this ofc) so i would eat my final meal at around 3-6pm then try and be done for the day. distract yourself a bit more you’re so close
