i founf my old pants which i wore more than year ago and they don't fit me. i feel disgusting. i have a feeling that i will never lose this weight again.
Throw away the cookies/chocolate. focus on the skinny girls you see and feel jealous of and the disgusting feeling of jeans not fitting. stay on track and eat a big healthy bowl of something you like eating like salad instead. you can do this!
horrid day...ate too much stuff...one of it bad really (mostly few calories sugar free stuff), but I feel terrible about the 'out of control eating' feeling I am left with. Think I need to start my binge free day count over?
Not sure what I should consider today. I ate about 750 calories of chocolate last night, but it was sort of a willful, mindful session of overeating, and when I was done I sort of wanted more but didn't feel out of control. Calories for the day were only about 2000 and I got up this morning and ran and didn't feel too bad. So I guess I'll call today Day 2.
I say this emphatically because it's been sooooo long since I've been able to say that, like probably over a month. I'm currently at home by myself while my boyfriend is as work, my most susceptible binge time for me and I'm feeling pretty confident.
Thanks to all of you for your motivation and support. Here's to a great week!
One day back on plan and then today once again I was starving and saw myself headed toward a binge. I thought, I can't deal with this day in and day out- trying to decide between starving and binging. So I thought about it a long time and decided to increase my daily calories from 2000 to 2300. The whole time I was thinking about this, i was at the gym and I was thinking I just want to spend the rest of the day's calories on sugar.
Well, once I got home I felt way less stressed because I had more calories to work with. But I had already planned on eating sugar. Well I walked into my kitchen and found myself craving veggies. So i ate a decent dinner and did not binge. That extra 300 calories really saved me.
I'm happy to report that I got through yesterday without any problems, so onto Day 2 of my binge free challenge.
Today is going to be harder as both DH and DD are home so my routine isn't normal, but I'm determined.
I'm new here and figured I should jump right into the accountability pool!
I'm two days binge-free so far. My last binge was on what felt like a bathtub-full of Popeye's mashed potatoes (my #1 trigger food, probably), with which I'd eaten myself into serious pain. The memory of how bad that felt has gotten me through the past couple of days, for sure! I'm feeling really good right now, and no serious cravings quite yet...
Nice work Vixsin! And everyone else! It really helps to read your positive thoughts after you have such a hard day.
Today is Day 3 in progress for me. I'm trying to talk myself out of hating my reflection.. it's hard, but I'm trying.
I just went through a VERY hard break up, am graduating from my university next month (lots of do or die school work piled up), and am officially going into the armed forces this summer (wanting to lose more than 2% of body fat before I go in!!).. So, even though I don't talk about it or express it verbally, I think these 3 things especially have me very stressed/anxious/completely not myself.
How long after a break up does it take to feel human again? ugh.
