For the longest time, I've tried finding out what makes me binge like crazy. Seeing food, smelling it, being upset, NONE of these things bothered me at all. Recently my mother came home after being gone for about a month. For the month that she was gone, I was able to restirct flawlessly every single day. The very first day she comes home, I've binged! I don't know why this is, but when she's around me I lose all control and resolve flies right out the window. I love my mom but I don't want to fall back into b/p. :(
What do you guys do to not let your triggers get the best of you?

My fiance is my trigger for breaking a fast cos as corny as it sounds, he makes me happy, so all I have to do is remember why I wasn't happy in the first place and I do alright :D you'll have to figure out why your mam makes you want to binge and then maybe you can find the root and stop it from happening :)

I'm exactly the same! it's when I'm with my boyfriend - who I dont get to see much - that I start thinking 'why am I doing this to myself? I dont need this!' and then eat LOOOOADS!!
It sounds dumb and like I should be pleased about it, but I always binge when I'm feeling happy and with my friends, and so I eat to try and compensate somehow for all the food I've restricted. But ultimately I'd sort of rather not have those happy feelings [which should make me feel better obviously] and just be able to restrict in peace.
Well I guess sooner or later this disorder's going to get the better of my social life and allow me to do that. but why oh why does that seem in any way like a good thing.....
