Chicks in Control - Binge-free challenge ~ Oct. 5 - 11

Good Monday morning, chickies! Let's make this a binge-free week. All are welcome!

I am going to do this, I like the idea of one week at a time. My goal is this week, my goal is this week, my goal is this week, I will tell myself and soon every week will be a goal and then the weeks will pile up!

I'm putting myself up to the challenge! I've been lurking on this site for a few weeks, and it feels good to join the group. Day one is going well. Looking for the same the next six! :)

Count me in! So far so good today. :) Was tempted to keep eating after dinner tonight, but said "no" and closed the fridge. :) Feel great!
Now if onlly I could convince myself to go to the gym... sigh

I did good for 5 days, then Friday fell off the wagon, had pizza. Didn't technically binge on it though: just a lot of cal in 3 slices of take-out type pizza.

Sunday ate out again, then grazed when home.

Yesterday: Had 2 huge servings of ravioli when I was only supposed to have salad for dinner, then had ice cream after that.
I don't know WHERE my motivation went, and I am going on vacation mid November. U would think the bathing suit would be motivating me!!

Me too! today is my first day binge free and I want to go all week (and my special challenge all weekend) without bingeing

I was doing so well I stopped even counting binge-free days, but recently things have been falling apart again. I really forgot how unbearable the guilty, worthless feelings are after a binge.

Anyway, I'm going to jump in here mid-week because I know how much better I will feel even with a few days under my belt.

Day 2.

so far so good, day 3, mexican tonight (enchiladas and corn&black bean salsa) I sauted the veggies in chicken broth to save calories so I think I figured I can have 3 enchiladas and salsa and rice - let you know how it goes

Today wasn't quite it... not as bad of a binge as yesterday (although I have to admit I am still feeling the need to eat - I'm afraid of what I'll do once my house mate goes to bed). But still, not a binge-free day.

*sigh* Day Three wasn't so good. Three slices of take out pizza, four breadsticks with dipping sauce, and a HUGE slice of cheesecake. Threw up the cheesecake. Now I'm feeling pretty gross and rotten.....

Whole new day tomorow.

Wednesday my dad made a ham in the oven, I already had my dinner but I had a slice. And i ended up cutting myself another 3 slices and had 3 this morning :\ I haven't had any cheat days in a month so I don't feel too bad about it. Buuut, I had no idea ham could taste so good. Haha

Dang it! I'm out already - stupid blue icing hostess cupcakes ~sigh~
okay, Day 1 again again

Ack my first post didn't get posted! Well here I am on day 4! I had a moment of weakness yesterday and bought chips & salsa. However, I did a good job with portion control and only ate 5 chips! :D

Day 3.

I overate last night, but not enough to be considered a binge, I don't think... I was 300 over goal.

Today is not it, either. I just stayed home and ate all morning... jeez! I can't seem to get it together anymore!

Yes you can, Iris. Start right now!

Thanks, Ward. I did actually manage to salvage the rest of the day.

I guess technically I'm back to day 1. I had a mini-B (569 cal, when I was only supposed to have a snack of 150 max).
I did engage in mindless eating and the "EAT MORE" compulsion.

I got out of class early...any break in routine can be bad for me. I was supposed to have a tiny snack during class and NOTHING when I got home. So instead I had dinner, got out of class early, and then kept eating cereal and then some pretzels with chocoalte chips.....

However, this only put me 200 over my goal cal for the day, b/c I had undereaten while @ work (could have been another trigger).

Dang, I'm at day one again - really, this week feels like a revolving door - who is hanging in there or a had a success? Post if you got 'em, I need an inspiration!

I'm back today! I am trying very hard! ugh....

I salvaged yesterday afternoon (not too far over 2000 cals for the day) but am a mess again today. I don't know what's wrong with me - frozen bread and dry oatmeal? Come on.

I totally fell off the wagon today, too. I am stressing over something that won't even happen until next month. It's ridiculous!

Hi Chickies,

Day 1 for me.

Ash

Day 1 for me. I keep playing with the same 4 or 5 pounds. I need to see a loss this month. I'm making a vow to myself now. I will stay on my points throughout the rest of October.

Hey ladies,

Day 4 for me! I really like the idea of taking things one week (or one day) at a time.

I have done 5 days so far without bingeing! When I finish today, it will be day 6! Yesterday I ate a little more than I wanted to, but I did NOT binge and it wasn't that losing absolute control of emotions feeling.

I have been doing exercises from an amazing blog http://onbulimia.blogs.com and another website called coping.org that doesn't address eating disorders per se, but deals with many of the problems that come with eating disorders. They are incredibly helpful.

I was binge-free yesterday. Today is my weigh in day, and I lost a tiny bit of weight. I pledge to make this a binge-free week because I need to see another loss next Sunday.
