Day 1. >.<
I was doing pretty well, I had gone for over a month with eating on plan, then last week I just lost it. The worst one was yesterday evening, when my boyfriend received an urgent call and had to leave town (and miss my birthday today).
But I'm not going to make excuses. Today I'm back on track (so far) and I was able to put away the pound of chocolate that my parents sent me for my birthday (seriously, mom...).

It's all about getting back on, right? We can do it! Day 8.. This winter weather is really getting me down, but although a binge sounds tempting right now, it won't make anything better!

I need to join too. I do pretty good on the weekdays, but weekends some thing happens to my brain and and I want to eat non-stop. And it doesn't help not to have the bingeable snack foods, because I've binged on healthy foods also-and let me tell you it was painful the following day-all that fiber scrubbing out the intestines was not fun.
Just do it day by day, stay away from the kitchen when my stomach is not hungry. My brain sometimes things I am but my stomach really isn't.

Is there something naturally sweet that might satisfy you without leading to a binge? Sometimes I take a 1/2 cup of nonfat greek yogurt, mix in a packet of splenda and a whole lot of cinnamon. It can hit the spot and because it's high protein also it doesn't trigger me to binge. Plus the cinnamon is very strong so it sort of over powers everything else.

Athena, Keep at it. You build momentum. We all are doing this together.
MissSunshine, congrats for staying strong. Put a sugar-free cand in your mouth, like Werther's caramels. That helps me.
Sarah, welcome. I try to have a plan for weekends, like a road map of sorts. Best of luck to you!
Kitten, glad you're with us, and back on track.

Athena, hope things get better for you! We're all here for you!
Sarah, that's a good idea! I'd like to try it tomorrow when I've got some extra calories! ;-)
Tyla- that's awesome! Hope I can get that far!
Day 9 for me! I actually went to my pantry, grabbed a clif bar (weird trigger for me), and put it back! Yay!
Have a great day everyone!

I ended up binging yesterday only two days into making changes.. it is extremely frustrating but I'm trying not to let it get me down like it has in the past. Change is hard, and things that are hard are often filled with setbacks. I'm just trying not to dwell on it at this point.
It's funny because I don't have anywhere to turn when I feel that urge to binge. My husband is a great man but he will tend to give in easily to whatever it is that I want. He just wants to make me happy and he gets confused when I want to eat because he's not sure which way will make me happy.
He just doesn't understand how I'm struggling ultimately, and I really have no one else in my life, so binging happens easily with no support system in place. Sigh.

Welcome, Raine! We get it! Been there, done that type of thing. Actually, when you want to binge, something else is really going on. It's time to get away from the area, and go do something that's fun or brings you joy.
Danzinggurl, thank you! And congrats to you on day 9! Each day is a big deal!
Today is day 72 of exercising and in range eating.
