Well there goes my 7 day stretch guys :-( Lots of bad food and candy was left at work and guess who's been eating it nonstop all night? Me :-( God I feel like crap...
aww duqserb ... I'm sorry you're not feeling well... just remember that ALL of us slip up, that 7 days is AWESOME, and that tomorrow is a fresh day. I also want to apologize, I've read that q as a g this whole time! eek
Today I made the conscious choice to "binge" on carrots instead of pizza. I'm not gonna call eating a lot of carrots as a binge, though, because they're good for me! I even ate them without any dip! I made a lot of good choices today so it's on to day 2 for me.
Duqserb, it's just one bad night of eating. Just make sure you jump back on track today. That's a really important part. You can't change the past, but you can change the future! You can do it! *hug*
Hey everyone! Day 2... I'm still up 2 lbs from last weekends binge :/.. but I was up about 6, so I guess that's better. I'm trying to drink lotssss of water & I'm really pushing hard in the gym! Just so ready to be back on track...
I need a post like this...somewhere to be held accountable if I do binge. Well I have been doing great UNTIL yesterday. I ate tooo much Puppy Chow or AKA Chex Muddy Buddies. UGH! I am soo disgusted with myself!
It does feel better to get it off my chest though! LOL!
D -- it's okay, learn from this! What made you start eating the candy/junk? Was it because you were hungry or because you denied yourself something earlier in the day? I think trying to figure out reasons behind binges can help prevent them in the future. Use this as a learning experience! And start over again today, starting over again is a victory too!
I am finally back online! I went away for the weekend with my girlfriends and it has taken me this long to get on top of housework/kids/work/life so that I have a spare moment to check in with my chicks!
I am so inspired by you all---way to go superstars!!!
Honestly, I am really MORE inspired by you who fail, but make a commitment to get back on it! You can do it!
I am not sure how many days I could count as binge free. I ate (and drank) a lot of junk during my weekend away, but I didn't truly binge--I ate like a normal person on vacation.
Hey guys..back to the beginning for me! So yeah I had to work last night till 11:30 and when I came into work there were bags of chips left over from last weeks potluck. I immediately put them in the cabinet so I wouldn't see them so the night started out good. But then later on I found out from my boss that he's decided to put me on the schedule during my week finals which I asked them not to..and THEN he scheduled me for New Year's eve! I wanted to scream...and all because they decided to fire one of our ppl a couple weeks ago leaving all of us in the crapper. So yeeeahh I guess you could say stress striggered the binge? Not only was it the chips though....there were stashes of halloween candy all around too. It's a wonder I didn't throw up from all the chocolate I ate :-( ugh But I know...this is always my problem...when I'm surrounded by food that I don't keep in my apt, I go haywire. Which just terrifies me even more about this weekend cuz I'll be surrounded by tons of pizza and lord knows what else. I HATE that this is SO frickin hard! ok vent completed...thanks again for the support ladies..start of Day #1 for me...
There was a topic about this at some point... what constitutes a binge and how is that different from overeating... I think the general consensus was that you may choose to overeat (because you're really enjoying the food, for example), but it shifts to a binge when you feel out of control, numb, guilty or disgusted. I think the main thing is lack of control. A binge is a binge when you feel like you can't stop eating, even if you don't really want the food.
Back on track for me, too. I've had a few days here that have been "borderline" so I think my best bet is to give it a fresh start. The more I allow these borderline days to count, the closer I come to another full-out binge.
I did a little overeating after dinner but I was "under" for the day at that point, so I ended up only at 67 over when I was done w/ my snacks....I had one snack that didn't fulfill the craving so I ended up having something else (that I should have just had right off the bat instead of both).
[So I don't think that was a b]
Looks like I should be ending this day on a good note. Seeing as how there's no chocolate or chips around like there was last night, I'll be fine. Feel like I've barely eaten all day and I feel like poop thanks to all the salt and sugar I consumed last night. But I did have some eggs with turkey and an english muffin for lunch, and just had a bowl of oatmeal with flax, cinnamon, and honey for dinner. Might have an apple in a couple hours and that'll be if for the night. Hope everyone got through the day alright
Hey everyone! Congrats to those of you still going strong! I've been a total disaster up until today, so I'm hoping today finishes off clean and it can be my day 1. I don't know what got into me! I've never been this tempted to binge, even before I started this whole new healthy lifestyle and everything. Maybe my body wanted to revolt after losing weight? Who knows. Either way, I feel so crappy (physically) from all that sugar and today's good food has helped a ton (physically AND mentally!). Back on track for me! Day 1!
. Stay strong and try to remember your goals.. you can get through this!
