daily "good choices" thread!
Hi guys. I just had an idea. 
I was just thinking, I spend a lot of time beating myself up when I have binges. But I don't spend a lot of time recognizing how much effort I put in EVERY DAY resisting those binges. In other words, the small-scale, HEALTHY choices I make are often overlooked. I only pay attention to when I "screw up" and binge. I don't give myself enough credit for all the little good things.
So I thought it'd be a good idea to have a thread where we can post about the GOOD food choices we made that day. Even and especially if they're small things! Maybe that will help us remember that we're working our butts off to change our habits and that, most of the time, we DO make good choices. We deserve recognition for those! Let's celebrate together! 
So, for example, today I:
- chose to drink flavored water instead of soda or wine
- passed up buying chocolate at the grocery store (this is BIG!)
- split a package of nuts (a binge temptation for me) into single servings
What did YOU do today that helped keep you from a binge? What temptation did you overcome? Share!

Well, if no one else is going to use it, I still am!
Today:
- my roommate handed me half a bar of chocolate, but I just broke off a bite-sized piece, smiled and told him he could have all the rest of it
I can think of VERY few times in my life where I have been able to keep from binging on chocolate. So this was a big triumph for me.

My good choice today was trying to have sensible size portions, and drinking water instead of soda.

I was having a hard time thinking of something good for today, but I've got it: I binged but did NOT isolate. I still met my obligations AND had a nice conversation w/ my roommate.

I ate food... with lots of protein, fruits and veggies... and didn't feel "hungry" all day. And I exercised too.

I drank my coffee without any cream or sweetener (even if I use Splenda, sometimes it triggers binge-y thoughts). Started this plan yesterday... gonna take some getting used to!

Yesterday I drank Diet Coke instead of regular Coke, and I didn't buy any candy at the movie theater.

When I went to the grocery store yesterday, I didn't buy the box of mac and cheese like I wanted. I just bought the veggies and fruit (and coffee!) that I needed. I really wanted the mac, esp. since I had already binged earlier that day, and so had the "it doesn't matter, the day is shot" mentality. But I resisted!

What a great thread :-)
Yesterday I was hungry an hour after dinner but resisted the urge to raid the kitchen by staying calm and fussing the cat.

Hooray for you 4Dreams!
Today I passed up ALL the Halloween candy at work... I thought "Oh, I could have just ONE piece", but I know from experience that triggers a binge, at least with candy. So I stayed strong and had NONE! That's something I succeeded at that I didn't succeed at yesterday.
Also I'll be bringing a healthy snack (a banana) for work this afternoon so I'm not tempted to eat candy during the kids' snack time. Thinking ahead!
