Yesterday I overate but I did NOT binge -- I stayed very aware of what I was eating and made the choice to have a small piece of cake. So I'm on day 6! This is the longest I've ever gone binge-free since I started here!
ETA: I'm actually on day 7, I realized this morning I hadn't updated my counter before I went to bed last night. Even better.
I'm on Day 6 now...really wanted to binge earlier, I just needed that full full feeling. So I made myself a BIG salad. Feeling nicely full now. Still want to binge, but I'm not feeling as desperate about it.
I just wish I could eat and eat and eat and be thin!
Today is the end of Day 2. No binging. I stuck to a good whole grain/high fiber routine and feel very good.
Ladyrider, thanks for the prayers and please keep them coming!
hello ladies in control...well i received very upsetting news about my academic career today, and usually that would send me for a tail spin into a vat of icecream...
however, I staved off cravings with hot cocoa....and hit a glorious 1260 cs maximum today.
Jen-That's awful! I'm a grad student, I understand how big those blows can be. It's so stressful, and there's no positive reinforcment in academia! Good job resisting the cravings. They won't help you at school!
Starting Day 7 today. I'm beginning to understand that Sundays are particularly difficult for me. Football fun, then crash, have to get ready to start the week tomorrow...I'm going to have to be extra strong.
Hey guys my 3FC wasn't working for a few days for some reason but I've been doing ok. I binged on Wednesday at work but haven't really binged since. I might've overeaten a little on Thursday but that's it. Haven't even really had to think about it which is good. Looking forward to the start of a new week tomorrow!
Hi Chicks, I blew it yesterday. But not as bad as usual, I'll probably gain about 2 lbs. but I'm ok with that. I was down to 105lbs. from not binging for 6 days. I was getting too close to being underweight , which is 103lbs. for my height. I am going to start today as day 1 binge free. Good luck everyone!
Fruitlady, it sounds like you know what to do. However, if you are getting to a weight that is borderline underweight then maybe you should start adding healthy calories in so that you are not losing any more weight. Bingeing might be your body's way of trying to get in the nutrients it needs when your weight gets too low. It would be better for your health if you increased your cals a little on a daily basis to maintain instead of going up and down in weight constantly, even if it's just a few lbs. We have a maintainers forum here that is really good. Have you visited there yet? to you to get back on track today.
Okay, Sunday is almost over, my most dangerous day, and it appears that I'm going to be fine. About 9:15, thinking about going to bed soon, don't have an urge to binge...so Day 7 was a sucess, and I'll start out with Day 8 tomorrow!
Hngh, I'm kind of halfway-binging right now -- I have a chocolate bar and I don't feel powerless to stop eating it. I'm halfway through and having thoughts like "doesn't matter, I can just try again tomorrow." I KNOW this is a bad attitude. I've been watching my eating super-carefully all week and I've gone 7 days binge-free, so now I'm just thinking, I made it farther than I thought I would! Time for a treat! (Logic fail.)
Tomorrow will be day 1. I really need to buckle down if I want to keep slimming down.
I made it 3 days. 2 of them I stayed within my calories to keep me on track for a 2lb a week weight loss. Yesterday overate and went up to the amount of calories that would maintain my weight, but I didn't binge on anything. Sundays are always a bad day for me because they are very unstructured and my brain craves structure almost as much as chocolate.
I think reading and posting here helps me be very aware of my actions in a way I wasn't before. On to Day 4.
to you to get back on track today.
