I can only hope I'll have the will power to keep it up.

You can do it, hang in there, it sounds like you have a plan for tomorrow! Come back and tell us how it went and then make a plan for the next day!

I didn't binge at all today.

4 years ago I had a good few months on OA and then I got pregnant and threw abstinence out the window. After I had my baby (#4) I told my self I would finallt stop wearing the maternity clothes I had been in from the baby before (ouch) and buy a normal skirt no matter what the size. It was HUGE - 44 (European sizes).
...... Now I'm a 50. Bleh.
My weight goal may seem odd - but I have a very small frmae. I look more like I weigh 185 than 166.
I'm trying to create healthy eating habits - and stop hiding while eating, and consume decent amounts of food. Not easy - but today is the fist day and I can;t say it was easy - but I'm almost there!! (it's already 9:00 PM here and if I can ward off the nighttime nachos habit - I'll be a winner!!!)

Congrats to you all on your perseverance!!

Miriam Anne -- the first few days of this are always SO HARD! I swear, Day 1 is a special torture! GREAT JOB! You can skip those nachos and have a beautiful day 1 under your belt!

I did it. I skipped the nachos - I had a cup of water and I am IN BED (love my laptop)...

BUT -
Here's the bad part:

I had such a perfect Day 1 from a weight and eating point of view, but my personal life is SO CRUMMY today and I don't know how I'm going to manage Day #2 with no binging... I SO feel like going a eating bars and bars of chocolate because I feel so sad and it's a shame that my surroundings can't manage to be supportive.

No promises tomorrow is going to be any better either - I have to take 5 of my kids to the dentist by myself - on public transportation no less... How am I going to manage my food when I'll be out of the house for at least 5 hours? Wish the bread I eat (sourdough spelt because of temporary wheat sensitivity) could be made into sandwiches..

Thanks for your encouragement - I guess cyberchicks can help me create a new reality - or at least keep me on track with the one I have.
So instead of feeling good about myself I feel rotten - not about me but about everything else. Sorry for venting. But it tasted better than the nachos-!

I would like to join in. I'm so amazed that so many share the same eating disorder that I have. There seems to be so much support here. I'll start tomorrow on my journey to be binge-free. Everyone have a great binge-free week!
