i'm sorry for your loss mini doodles even if you attend all the party just remember to make good choices and watch the portions. if you load your plate with veggies it will look like you ate a lot but you will still be following your plan.
minidoodles - so sorry to hear about your loss. Stay strong girl!
danzingurl77 - thanks a lot for a warm welcome
Everyone - thanks for being here and posting, you are all such an inspiration and bring so much home!
I am just finishing day 2 - woohoo! Been so tempted yesterday to just break into a binge, but somehow manage to control myself. Feels so good to wake up in the morning knowing that previous day was a success, instead of waking up thinking "ok, here I am starting again".
I ended up going on a binge tonight. First time since I stopped maintaining and tried to lose again(about 1 1/2 weeks)...its ok though...tomorrows another day and going to start it off right with a trip to the gym
Making it thru Night 1 again I hope.
Feels like I have fallen and can't get up. Didn't binge 1 out of the last 4 nights because I fell asleep in my chair. So I guess I'll quit wallowing in the self pity and pick myself up and start again.
Congrats to everyone doing well and to the rest of us - We CAN do it.
I think today is a bad day for me. I had toast for breakfast and then went to class and when I came back at lunch my tummy was rumbling so I ate some carrot soup with bread. But the hunger still didn't go away! I tried to nap it off, but I woke up really hungry and went downstairs to raid the cupboards. I started eating this weird ... potato/cabbage/cheese/swede thing (ready meal) that was in the freezer. 400 calories for the whole thing! I tried, but I just couldn't eat it 1) it tasted bad and 2) I just kept telling myself that I was stronger than flushing my (however short) efforts down the drain again. But I was still hungry and when I'm hungry I think I think irrationally. I ended up eating a bar of praline chocolate (200 cals) which annoyed me, but bleh. Does this count as a 'binge' or a trip?
ohadele: That doesn't sound like a binge to me. Just a bump. We all make mistakes. The key is to not let it define you. You can get past this and keep on with the good efforts, that's the best thing you can do for yourself. You definitely are stronger than you think you are.
I'm just joining today . I've been suffering from binge eating as long as I can remember. Also, I've been overweight as long as I can remember. Of course! Anyways, I've really been struggling and am hoping this is a step in the right direction! Hoping today will be my first binge free day in a long time! I can get through the day just fine but nights are brutal lol. Tonights the night ! I'm starting a "binge free bracelet", so here's to hoping I get my first bead tonight!
I can't believe I've been doing this alone all these years! I have been reading posts all day and feel such a huge sense of relief. I hope I can get to the point where I am able to help others here, but for now I'll just lurk! Thank-you!
i most def overate on sugar and chocolate today. i was so nervous about my exams and i still crave chocolate but it's really late and i don't want to mess up even more. thank god i'm working tomorrow plus in the morning i have my first yoga session which started in october so i'll be the new one and i'm so worried that i won't be able to keep up with them
Hello Chicks Thank You so much for Your Thoughtful Words to me
This is my Day #2 & I ate healthy & am starting the 'If You Bite It....Write It'..daily food diary again. I am 'so happy to be here' at 3 Fat Chicks & Be with friends that 'genuinely care & understand' that it Is a Challenge to be at a good weight to Be Healthy & support each other.
Does anyone know how many grams of sugar we should limit ourselves to if we are not diabetics & want to lose weight? Dr.Oz used 3 t. in a sweet potato recipe on R.Ray today. I read yesterday that sugar is In every food @ McD.'s But I'm still eating my weekly $1 hot fudge sundae there as my weekly treat so I don't binge on Reese's peanut butter cups
MINI DOODLES, I'm so happy you're here with us again. I'm not quite sure how much sugar we should have. But if have a treat at Mc Donald's once a week so you won't binge, then I say that's a good idea. It's important to not totally deprive yourself. Excellent work! Your weight loss is fantastic! Keep up the great work.
As for me tonight, I was tempted to keep eating after dinner. I remembered something negative that happened to me today, and it bothered me. That usually is a trigger to eat exta. I exercised instead. I'm so happy now.
