Night 5
Tyla - I'm trying the "French" manicure. Wow 80 for you tomorrow
Minidoodles - A pound a week is healthy and the best way to keep if off I've heard I have a WI tomorrow
Danzinggurl - We seem to be working on the same number of days and our common fear of the night. We can do this - Yes we can

Thanks Tyla and Goldie! I've made it, thanks to the encouragement and motivation of the forum! Yay!
Yep, Goldie were in the exact same place, way to go us for getting through night 5! And good luck on the WI tomorrow!
Thanks again Tyla for reminding me that I don't need to binge!
Have a GREAT night everyone! Hope all is well!

Day 390 here.
My weight loss has pretty much stopped. I haven't binged but WOW with the snacking and the things I am snacking on are NO GOOD!!! I am needing to carve out the time again to post daily. I can feel all of the "old habits" right outside my door and I have to say, that it feels very, very scary. they are right there. The voices are back in my head again. They are whispers right now and I can shake them off pretty easy, but....they are there.
Those voices have been quiet for a long time and now they aren't. I am in this to win it and I will not binge. I am needing to do a purge because there are snacks here again. I know better than to have them here.
I'm good and I am in a great frame of mind. I feel hopeful today. I am not angry or upset at myself in ANY way. The ground I am standing on just feels a little shaky.
I will check back after the breaky meeting at work today. gonna be lots of junk! I have my breakfast and lunch packed. I am not going to have ANY of the crap.
Wish me luck!!!

today is one week without binging for me. actually more than a week if i don't count last friday slip up. i feel normal and positive. i finally have a goal in my head and hopefully i will reach it. seeing the success of some of the girls who used to be in this thread has given more hope and motivation that i can do this again.i thank them a lot.
vixsin you have and you are doing great. i'm sorry that you feel this way. yes snacking can be very tricky. don't let that to guide you to the wrong path and i hope you will find a way to shut down those voices in your head. you are so close to your goal. i wish you loads of luck

Thanks gang. I knew all I needed to do was reach out for the support. I did great at the work breaky and stuck to the foods I brought from home and had some fruit that they brought. I've already eaten my lunch due to being mildly stressed from the work meeting. I am going to get out of the building in 15 minutes and go for a ride in the car. its a sunny day today. Too cold for me to take a walk. I dont have a jacket. But I am going to get out there to clear my head and then tackle my afternoon with a vengence.
I won't make it to the gym today. I am gearing myself up for some bodyweight work. I need to do upper body work today since I did lower yesterday.
I still feel shaky but I DO feel better than my first post this morning. I am looking forward to going home today with fresh eyes and clearing out the couple snacks that have made their way into my house.
I'm off to enjoy my half hour away from my desk!

Vixsin, congrats for hanging on. You know how bad you would feel if you started going down the wrong path now. Please post more often. It really does a world of good. And besides, we MISS YOU!! (This is the voice of experience talking. Remember, I hit the 1 year mark, too, but started snacking again also. I am stronger now that I've refocused and am back here!)
Day 81 of mindful eating and exercising.

Vixsin- I hope you continue to feel better! We are all here for eachother. Dont give in now when you have been doing so well.
Missunshine- way to go on making it a week! a week always seems like a huge benchmark for me anytime I get there and motivates me to keep going- youre doing great!
Tyla- 80 days has got to feel AMAZING! Great adivice, too. Posting here makes a huge difference when I'm feeling "bingey".
Goldie - I hope you've made it through night 6, I know weekends are tough- I like counting the days with you!
Thanks to everyone for all of the support and encouragement!
Today will be day 7 for me. I have my first day off from both of my jobs in over three weeks, I kind of dont know what to do with myself. I need to keep away from boredom eating! Saturday is my "long run" day and usuallly I feel really empowered to keep up my healthy eathing habits by the time I get back.. So off I go! :-) Happy Saturday to all!

I Have fallen and I have fallen hard. I can't stop binging. I just picked it back up like it was an old friend, and I can't stop. I set a calorie amount for the day, and then the next thing I do is go on a horrendous 1000 calorie binge. I am upset about my recent problems with my son, and with my school work, but GETTING FAT is not the answer.

Hi, I'm 17, new to the site, and have a binge eating problem. I don't feel as though I can talk to my family and friends about it so I've been trying to get past this on my own - probably why I've failed.
I have improved - I used to binge everyday and now I tend to have a good 2/3 days of no binge and then the rest of the week I just can't stop.
I decided that it's time I take some serious action and really try to stop. I amazingly never really gained too much noticable weight but I can myself getting bigger and heavier (I don't weight myself so I can't give numbers) and I don't want to be at increased risk of developing diseases. I've set myself an achievable target: stop binging and loose the bit of excess weight by September 2012 (when I go to university).
Anyway I think I'm going on a bit too much (sorry). So I'll probably be looking for some support on here every so often and would be very grateful if you guys could help

thanks danzingurl congrats on your one week too
jendiet welcome back and congratiolations on your new baby!
babii and willow welcome. willow you're very young and i'm really pround on you for deciding to try to get better now.
i had a long day today, i came home around 11.30 pm and was little hungry but didn't want to really eat anything cause it was really late but i imagined in my head all kinds of things to eat but in the end i just ate a granola bar. i saw an old friend today and i was so happy whole day and also went for a job interview but i think i didn't get it. well it leaves me with more time to study. so no binging today

ok.. if theres a time I need this thread, its now.. the Holiday season is hard for me. Not just the "treats and food are offered everywhere", part, but the family drama. My DH and family dont get along at all.. ok, they HATE eacho other. it really stresses me out- last Christmas I thought my relationships with everyone would end because of it. My family is celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow (theyll be out of town for the real thing) and I'm so stressed about it I dont know what to do. Tonight I not only binged, i binged and purged... I dont know where else to turn besides this forum... Im so embarrassed to tell anyone else. But I feel like my whole life is out of control and if I cant even control my food intake what do I have?? But I feel like I had to tell someone. I thought I had conquered this.. its been about 6 months since it last happened but I'm so afraid and dont want this cycle to start again.. I know I will be so stressed until January and this is NOT a way to handle it.. I dont know if this is the right place to talk about this but its all ive got right now. If you made it to the end thanks for listening.. and if theres anyone or any threads you can send me to I'd appreciate it... thanks ladies. Hope you are all doing better than I am.

Fell off the wagon tonight after about 10 days. boo
Tomorrow is a new day and I'm going to go into it feeling positive and not beat myself up.
Although, I will say that after 10 days of eating small healthy meals I wasn't able to binge as much as I normally am able to. Gotta keep it up, my goal is 21 days!

Day 0
I had a great Friday, Lost 3 lbs, passed up the homemade pies at work,toook my husband out to free dinner for Veteran's Day and ate only part of the under 550 meal with no desert. Then the mother-in-law happened. I really shouldn't give her that much power after all these years, but she pretty much pushes everybodies buttons and I've been out of control ever since.
Tomorrow's another day and I haven't had even the 5 in a row without a binge for months.
So Danzingurl we'll be starting in the same spot together again.
Hang in there everybody who slipped like me but didn't quit.
Congrats everybody else and welcome newcomers. I've been here less than a week and it really helps, specially if you grab the computer instead of the food right when you get the urge.
Done babbling.
