Recovery
How I define recovery:
A period during which I have not relapsed/binge-eating for more than:
- 2 consecutive days
- 3 total days in a rolling 7-day period
- 7 total days in a rolling 28-day period
Binge
How I define a binge:
A period of time during which I eat a perceived (viewed by myself as) excessive amount of calories, where I feel either out of control, like I literally cannot resist eating the food, or like I cannot stop myself eating once I have started.
The period of eating is accompanied by feelings of guilt, shame or hopelessness, either during or following the actual binge.
