Cadbury, welcome! (sorry about your post. heh heh)
We're very glad to have you join us. Although we're sorry you're just like us.
I have a confession. I had a pretty good day, but I just went over my calories with popcorn.
If anyone wants me to *** the word "popcorn" out, I will do so immediately.
O boy ok I am having trouble with food right now.
I was doing so good too O well, today a friend of mine is coming over and we are going to workout so that will be good. Talk to you all later
Hey ellis, well we did work hard today on the exercise. I was good all day the one thing I had was small french fry from wendy's which wasn't great but other than that I was really good
Cadbury's welcome to the thread!!! I'm happy you decided to join us.
You know we have cadbury's here in the states too. I love the regular dairy milk chocolate. It's so much better quality than a lot of the chocolate we make stateside.
Keep posting!! I think we all find it helpful to confess.
Kristen Okay, there you are!! And then I disappeared. Keep that exercise momentum going!! I may need to borrow some from you.
ellis Okay, we all forgive you for your mistake. When I first saw that, I said, oh no, ellis changed her mind about this thread and we never get to mention food again!!
Okay, now my confessions I binged yesterday (twice) on teryaki pasta, two slices of apple pie, mashed potatoes, giant chocolate bar, strawberry bars, 6 oranges, an Almond Joy, a nestle bar, and 2 Vallomilk cups. I went to the casino buffet today and of course went overboard on grease-laden foods and rich desserts and then a few hours later I topped it off with a chicken wrap, fries, macaroons, and a giant Hershey bar. And then I just ate 2 bowls of mashed potatoes. And I want some more now. And I was doing SO well. The good thing is that I lost all of my extra cash at the casino and I'm pretty reluctant when it comes to buying food I don't need on my credit cards. I rarely do it, but during my last bad binge streak, I spent an extra $30 on binge food on my credit card.
At least I got the month off to a good start and I'm back on plan tomorrow and I WILL exercise!!!!
Harpo, I'm so sorry you had that binge, but boy, does it sound good. I'm sitting here drooling. If I can get through today...
Sending you what little willpower I have left over...

if it's any consolation, this past january, i spent $15-20 nearly every day buying junk food to b/p. that was the month my credit card got declined.
i've gotten myself down to only b/ping once every 2 weeks. just goes to show this stuff takes some serious time and dedication

it's a fresh new week and you can do it!
I racked up thousands of dollars in debt due to food. And when some of the fast food restaurants started accepting credit cards, I could eat at them every day instead of only when I had cash. I was so out of control that I had to cut up every one of my credit cards. I'm in much better control now, and I have 3 cards right now in my wallet. Except for the time last month, I had been doing so well not buying binge food on them. I hadn't lost control like that in a long time. I thought I may have to cut them up again, but I think I'll be okay.
Cadbury's.. your screenname reminds me all too well of one of my favorite, and frequent binge foods... Cadbury's Fruit & Nut giant chocolate bars. OMG! I love those things. I wish they would make them in regular sizes, so I could just buy that and not the large ones and eat it all . but everytime i see your name it reminds me of them and I crave it lol. but it's a good challenge for me, lol
Hey everybody,
You're all so welcoming, you make me feel great!
Hungry2Live, here in Ireland we have the regular-sized cadbury's bars. My problem is that I have like 3 in one go. I'd be better off buying a large bar instead.
Ok I binged today. I was really bored so I walked into town with my sister(my fellow binger) and I bought a bag of sugary sweets, three bars of chocolate, three gigantic choc chip cookies and I ate a huge slice of choc fudge cake in a coffee shop. The cake wasn't even nice.
I also indulged in a romance novel- I like to read or watch tv while I eat. I have ALL the bad habits.
I'm trying again tomorow.I'm having a really hard time getting back on track. I'm terrified that I'll regain all the weight I've lost.
Hey Kristen. I'm a fellow teen, sweet 16. It sucks being the big one at school, doesn't it?
Golly, Cadbury, I would never have guessed you were 16!! You and Kristen both are so much more intuitive and mature than I was at that age. I was a mess and had no idea that what I was doing to myself was a serious problem. I hope in 7 years you girls are faring a lot better than I am!!! Oh, and I was the big one in high school and entered it at 220 and graduated at 280. I still have my gown and I seriously could camp in it. It's enormous. But since we had a 2,000 member student body, I wasn't the biggest which actually was of little comfort anyway. I lucked out and left high school unscathed, but I still absolutely detested every minute of it. If you and Kristen work really hard, you can graduate with new svelte figures!! I really wish I had the perseverance and motivation to lose weight then. I really commend you two.
I binged tonight AGAIN!! My mom asked me to drive to Super Walmart for her to buy her beloved coffee creamer, and of course for the favor, she lets me get a 'few' things for myself, and I bought binge food. I ate the following: 3/4 of a gallon of chocolate chip ice cream, 2 mini apple pies, 10 mini mounds, and a huge bowl of mashed potatoes. GRRRR. I feel like rubbish.
Okay, so 4 out of 7 days isn't too bad. It's over half of the week. Next week I'm aiming for 7 out of 7 days binge free!!!
Wow...I've been on 3fc for over a year--how have I managed to not know about this section?! My bingeing has been out of control lately--I'm so glad to have found you all! Not that I'm glad you are all having as difficult a time as I am, but it is nice to meet people with the same problems rather than just have everyone tell you to suck it up and have some will power
Anyway, I haven't binged today yet (I did have a big cookie this morning I shouldn't have had, but there was only 1, so I didn't go crazy), and I didn't binge over the weekend. Obviously, the hardest times are when I'm alone, and over the weekend, I am always with my boyfriend, so that's easier. My hardest times are in the mornings at work (I get in earlier than most people in my area, so I often find myself "sneaking" donuts and candy from the cafeteria downstairs) and in the afternoon when I get home from work (around 3:45pm) until my boyfriend gets home (around 5pm). You would think that time in the afternoon when I am home alone would be PRIME TIME for exercising, but instead, I just exercise my arm by shoveling food into my mouth.
Now, I don't keep any junk food in my house. I know I can't handle that. But bingeing is bingeing whether it's on chocolate and potato chips or sunflower seeds and cranberries
Last week, I stopped at McDonald's almost every morning on my way to work. I make it look like I'm getting a meal for a friend--I order 2 full meals complete with 2 orange juices, and I devour everything (2 sausage/egg/cheese mcmuffins, 2 orange juices, and 2 hash browns) before I get to the office. Even after that, I sometimes have more junk (like I said, donuts and candy) from the cafeteria once I get to work. It's definitely not that I'm hungry--I always have something in my tummy before I leave home (sometimes cereal, sometimes fruit, sometimes oatmeal...). I just can't stop thinking about food! Even in the morning, I sometimes plan out whether or not I might have time to stop at McDonald's on my way home for my 2 double cheeseburgers, small fry, and small vanilla shake (only to go home and have a snack and then a full dinner with my boyfriend as if nothing had happened).
Last night, I planned out everything I would eat today. I have extra motivation now to stop spending money on junk food because once I pay off my credit card, we are going to get a kitten I bet if I'd never eaten so much junk food, my credit card could have been paid off months ago But here I am with thousands in debt, and I hope to have it paid off by Christmas. What a great Christmas gift for me, eh? Less debt, a kitten, and less junk food!
(sorry about your post. heh heh) 
I had a pretty good day, but I just went over my calories with popcorn. 
A "better" choice is a good choice.
