Hi Nancy -

Whenever you sense yourself about to go on a major Anti-Nancy campaign after doing something "stupid".... and then find yourself spending hours planning how to *fix* the stupid thing you did...

...stop and think to yourself just this one thought: "Forget the experience, remember only the lesson".

This will serve to simplify your issue and strip away the guilt and embarassment.

If you binged because you believe you are being overly strict with yourself and thereby creating a timebomb, then perhaps you should start to reward yourself on a regular basis. If some part of you believes you not being recognized for your good efforts, then learn to give yourself the strokes you need - food wise or other wise.

If you binged because you were doing the tempertantrum or the comfort thing (i.e. emotional eating) then what were the signs that it was coming on? Is there another fix in your life that needs to be made and you're not doing it?

It's fine to analyse. But only if you're analysing the right things. And you can't analyse from your emotional *box* - you have to be in your business *box* to analyse objectively.
