What about if you lack confidence about your ability to do well, say in grad school. So you leave things off to the last minute and procrastinate excessively.
-So you can’t say you truly failed, because you didn’t give it your all…?

I can’t really advise regarding eating habits – not my area of expertise at all I’m afraid. One thought though – what’s the pay-off in your binge eating when you’ve done so brilliantly to lose 30lbs? What do you gain by doing that? Find out how you’re giving yourself a pay-off by doing what you’re doing and you might find something that causes you to do things differently.

I have recently lost 30 lbs. I want to lose 15 more to be at my weight before I had my 4 kids. But now that I am noticing that I look good, I’ve started binge eating again! I’ve worked so hard to turn back! As I’m doing it, I know it’s a bad idea but I still do it anyway. I would love to know why I can’t seem to finish what I’ve started!

@Delali: It’s much easier to go straight to the negative stuff, the stuff that your brain thinks will keep you safe, rather than listen to that part of you that knows better. It takes practice to spot that and change it, but you (and everyone else) are most certainly capable of doing it.

I have also realised that with me what strips me of confidence is that i always think of the negative things that may happen if i want to do something. And it can be so strong that it overtakes the positive things that may happen. I actually identified myself with what Barbera is feeling.
