Today I am 172 days binge free! Today I lost 50 lbs! Today I entered through the gates of Onederland! Today is my 8 month anniversary of starting this journey!
Today I am becoming the person that I've always wanted to be!
good morning and a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to everyone's support and words of encouragement...i love the 10 commandments and think i will come up with one of my own great idea, tyla, of doing something nice/new...i have always wanted to do a proper hike and might try one this weekend. other than that, i am feeling a tad better today...kind of like krampus, when i saw my work-ready face in the mirror this morning i genuinely did think, well you look so pretty ... it's a start. wonder why so many of us are having a tough time this week/month? maybe it's some sort of spring-hormone that has sprung into action. xoxox to all.

lynnie, welcome and keep up the good work!
leblebi, I'm so looking forward to hearing about your hike! That sounds awesome.
day 8. finally got my elliptical but i'm not so impressed by it as i thought i would be. my knees hurt really badly after only two minutes :$ everoyone at home are pretending like it's nothing new and no one even commented my purchase but i know they will talk behind my back and mock me. but i don't care.
Day 4 for me. Saturday was BAD BAD BAD. But the last few days I've been really good about waiting the right amount of time until my next meal or snack, and if I think I want a meal or snack early I just say "You wait." (it's only 3.5 hours between meals and snacks...) Once I'm done for the day, if I think about having a little something extra, I say "you're done". Just like that, matter of factly. It's been working. Not saying it will forever, but one day at a time.
Just signed up for the hike -- yey! I am so thrilled. The weather should be nice, too...a chilly New York spring day. Will let you know how it goes -- it's supposed to be 7 miles, total of 5 hours, followed by a wine-tasting session since we'll be in the Hudson River Valley, which has great vineyards
Yesterday i completed my 4th day binge-free (4th day on my diet plan, which is 2000 calories or less per day). Actually, in the morning yesterday i had a mini-binge...i thought it would be disastrous (1050 cal), but i managed to stay within my calories by the end of the day.
My goal is to make it through 30 days binge-free. At the end of the 30 days, i will have a re-feed. Ugh...i will really try NOT to binge like i have in the past when i reached my goal. A re-feed has a real purpose and is controlled. I think i'll keep it under 3000 calories (sounds like a lot but that will still be close to maintenance, or maybe 200-300 over maintenance). Anyway...i have lots of time to worry about that.
great idea, tyla, of doing something nice/new...i have always wanted to do a proper hike and might try one this weekend. other than that, i am feeling a tad better today...kind of like krampus, when i saw my work-ready face in the mirror this morning i genuinely did think, well you look so pretty ... it's a start. wonder why so many of us are having a tough time this week/month? maybe it's some sort of spring-hormone that has sprung into action. xoxox to all.
