Try moving your sugar to your meals. I binged too and as I healed they got less and less often. Until finally they stopped. It took me awhile to heal. But eating sugar at the end of your meal helps. Reminder taking sugar out isn't until step 6, you are on step 3 right? Chloe

I have been on Step 3 now for a few
: weeks and have noticed a pattern
: taking place while reviewing my
: journal.

: It seems that when I get to day #6 of
: the week I binge on sugar at night
: a few hours after I've eaten
: dinner. It's strange really, it's
: become a cycle with me and I don't
: understand why. I get right back
: on track the following morning
: with my breakfast, am steady with
: my food for the next 5 days
: (following Step 3 and all it's
: components), and then day 6 rolls
: around and my hand is back in the
: "sugar jar" at night.

: Just a side note, although my food is
: "steady" for those days
: my physical and emotional states
: are not, (most likely the result
: of the high levels of sugar
: consumed 6 days prior). I finally
: get back into "balance"
: around day 5 & 6 after binge,
: and when I start to feel better
: all around I'm back at it again
: eating ice-cream & cookies
: that night!

: I'm totally confused, since I see
: that this is a pattern through my
: journaling, I'm wondering if there
: is an actual bio chemical reason
: to it, an explanation as to why
: I'm seeking I guess this
: "beta endorphin" at this
: specific time? Is it even
: beta-endorphin or something else?
: Would going on to step 4 help
: (having a potato at night) or
: should I stay where I am? I'm
: feeling frustrated because I'm
: tired of being on this physical
: and emotional roller coaster and
: would like to get off, I'd
: appreciate any ideas or
: suggestions. Thanks!!
