I'll join the challenge. I didn't binge yesterday, so I guess this is day two?
I got on the scale and lost another 3 pounds,so that's a great thing. I'm in a size 14 now! '
I am having a little bit of a rough night. I wanted to make something different for dinner so I made chicken cordon bleu (a healthy version of it) but now I am dying to eat sweet stuff. My son just ate animal crackers and I had about 10 of them. There is still a bowl of them on the table and I am staying away but I am super tempted. Ugh. I will make day 9, I will!!
congrats to those racking up the days - wardhog, ingrid, asparagus - keep with it!
spoz, i don't yet have a food hangover, but i will probably wake up with one. so tomorrow's day one again - let's string a few together this time!
The extra half batch of icing from the cookies I made for an event last week (I didn't mean to have extra, but I ran out from the first batch, so I made more, but then I had too much - you know how these things work) I couldn't bear to throw away so I stuck it in my freezer. Today I ate it. All of it, a whole container full of sugar, butter and a little vanilla and milk. On top of that my roommate made cookies and she brought some back to my room for me. which of course i ate, even though i'm already in sugar overload! naturally i'm feeling a little sick to my stomach. blech. better tomorrow.
Today's day 11 for me, but the week-end is not looking good. Chili cook-off on Sat., Fall Festival on Sun. Then next week a Halloween carnival on Thurs. and two kids worth of trick-or-treat candy on Fri. Not to mention the candy I buy to hand out. ugh.
I'll join too! Sounds like this is a perfect challenge for me.
I am good all day then I binge at night. I think I am a sugar addict!
Today, striving for day one.
I hope nobody minds if I join in. After successfully being binge-free for around 90 days and losing 18 lbs. in that same time period, I slipped up last week (coincidentally it was also my TOM...grrrr)...and am just now getting fully back on the wagon. I don't feel like myself at all when I binge...don't know why I continue to do it! Also, paradoxically enough, I feel LESS energy after eating MORE food. I don't like that feeling at all as one of my main reasons for losing weight is to have MORE energy.
I am learning from my mistakes along this journey tho and the next time I feel like a binge is coming on I'll remind myself of this past week and how awful bingeing made me feel! My birthday is in just 8 days and I still want to lose a little more weight before then!
So my goal for today is to make it Day 1 back on the healthy eating/exercise wagon. 60 min. of cardio and 1200 calories.
My long-term goal is to make it through January 1, 2009 w/o bingeing. After that I'll make a new goal. I am just trying to get better, and 90 days on plan and 1 week off is actually progress for me. I just have to remind myself of that when the guilty and regretful feelings wash over me like a tidal wave after a binge and not let it continue for more than one day.
YAY me!
