…binge the other day.  Interestingly enough, I’m not beating myself up about it.  I have a twinge of disappointment about it but I did it, was aware that I was doing it and can’t take it back.  I don’t feel guilty but wish I didn’t turn to this old habit to deal with difficult emotions.  Most importantly, I know WHY I did it – I’ve been confronting a lot of things I’ve ignored for most of my life which causes tears, painful emotions and, sometimes, difficult conversations.

I’m not sure that I will ever eliminate binges from my life and I’m not sure that I need to as long as they are few and far between and not keeping me from being emotionally and physically healthy.  After all, perfection isn’t the goal, progress is!
