Here is where I would binge. Right now. Baby crying loudly and resisting nap. I make a bee line into the kitchen, grab something and hunker down in the computer, standing up in the kitchen, and eat eat eat.

Or if she wasn’t resisting the nap and was asleep, I would walk past the laundry and hunker down in my computer and eat eat eat.

She’s throwing a fit now. I will not binge. Instead I’ll go in and rock her. See if she really is up for a nap. If not, take her out and fold clothes while she plays.

Okay, minor binge here.  It HAD to happen eventually but I didn’t plan so soon into my new blog.  So, I rocked the baby to sleep, put her down and decided what I really need instead of food is a quick nap.  But I looked at the clock and I knew I wouldn’t have time for any sort of nap and what’s more I am disturbed that I have to wake the baby up to pick up my daughter from camp at 1:30.  Anyway, I told myself I’ll just have a salad, which I did have, then I proceeded to have the rest of the bag of Pirate Booty, in all the total is about 420 calories.  Great.  So now I have only 180 calories left for the day.  This will be difficult to stay on track, but not impossible!  

This binge is an example of me eating because I did not get what I wanted:  a nap.

Later:  A minor binge turned into a major one.  I went way over my calories.  I couldn’t take a nap — no time even though I hired a sitter for a couple of hours.  I had to go out and buy diapers, then by the time I could settle down I only had 30 mins on the clock left.  I realize these are only excuses for allowing myself to lose control and indulge my habit!

Tomorrow will be much better.
