Letter from Yourself

My dearest self,

Today, I want to envelop you in the boundless love and compassion that resides within you. I understand the struggle you're facing, the shame and disappointment after binge eating. But please know, you are not defined by this moment.

Remember that self-love is unconditional. It does not hinge on your successes or failures, your triumphs or setbacks. Your existence is almost a miracle, a symphony of millions of parts of your body, mind, and soul all working harmoniously to make you whole. Self-love is your birthright.

So, in this moment of vulnerability, I urge you to be kind to yourself. Wrap yourself in the comforting blanket of self-compassion and understanding. Allow yourself to acknowledge the emotions that led to the binge eating without judgment. Release the grip of self-criticism and replace it with tender words of encouragement and love.

As you journey through life, know that there will be peaks and valleys, but with each stumble, you have the opportunity to rise with grace and resilience. My darling, I love you deeply, and I am grateful to have this journey with you. Together, we will navigate the twists and turns, cherishing each step with unwavering love and affection.

With unwavering love,
Yourself

Letter from a Supportive Friend

My darling,

As I sit down to pen this letter, I can't help but feel a pang of empathy for what you might be going through right now. The aftermath of a binge eating... I'm so sorry to think of how you'd feel now. The aftermath of a binge can leave you feeling isolated, like you're the only one struggling in a sea of perfection. But let me assure you, my friend, you are not alone. Don't you dare think for a second that you're alone in this, honey. We're all in this messy little game together.

I've been there, in that dark place. I remember the moments of desperation, the feeling of being utterly powerless to resist the urge to binge, no matter how hard I tried. It was as if my body and mind were operating on autopilot, driven by a force beyond my control. And in those moments, the sense of helplessness was almost suffocating. Then, after binge, I've felt the crushing despair of knowing that I've let myself down yet again, that I've succumbed to those same destructive patterns. It felt like I was trapped in a never-ending cycle of self-destruction, unable to break free from the grip of my own demons.

BUT, you are not alone in this struggle. I understand the feelings of helplessness that can accompany binge eating, and I want you to know that there is help and support available to you. I've walked this path before, and I'll walk it with you again. Lean on me, lean on your loved ones, and together we'll navigate these rough waters with empathy, understanding, and unwavering support.

With all the love and solidarity in the world,
Your friend
