NOOO, I've binged the past three days.
I'll spare everyone the despicible details. Out of control once again. There must be something in the water . . . Maybe end of the month blues . . . Ah, Spring is here though. Can't wait for my flowers to begin to bloom and wonderful weather to exercise in.
Girls, we need to join together and pull ourselves up and brush ourselves off.
I'm finished tonight. I'm going clothes shoppping tomorrow to spend the extra money I've stupidly been spending on junk food. I went browsing today and discovered I fit nicely into size 14's now! YAY!! I even managed a 11/12 but they were bigger than the 14's, so I think that was a factory error or misprint. It was a great fantasy though.
2frustrated, welcome to the thread!!
Ah, how jealous am I that you get to live in Europe and take a few hours to visit other countries . . . How I miss Paris . . . Okay, what are maltesers? Are they the British version of Whoppers (malted milk balls)? I understand bingeing on fruit; I once ate 3 lbs of tangerines in one sitting. I ate 6 today, because they are out of season, and I have to peruse every grocery store in town to find decent ones! And I still got a couple dried ones, darn it!
Lucky13, you're MIL "incident" has intrigued me, and I the nosiest person in the world, but I'm also very courteous as well, so I won't ask . . .
I'm not married so I only have to deal with my own mom and she's a plentiful handful. I'm still hanging on to my "fat" clothes (although I'm still in them), but I plan to sell mine on Ebay as a lot, because I think I could get more for them on there than I would at a garage sale.
dalai_lala, I have a problem with the last week of the month. I usually say, "Let me blow this week because I can start fresh on the 1st." But I'm with you. I'm back on plan tomorrow. I want to end March on a high note since it's been such a struggle. I should start the measurement taking and photos at ends of months too so I don't have the urge to lose control. I only have one pic of myself about 4 pounds ago, so there won't be much of a difference. I've got to find some of when I was over 300, although I'm not sure any exist. I know I trashed some of them. I would love to show everyone progress pics.
KristenElizabeth, I hope you restrained yourself!! I've worked with an autistic child before, I know how stressful and frustrating it can be. Stay strong!!

ellis,
I hope you managed to get your thoughts off of food. I've been there countless times. I usually crack though and binge, because it's the only thing that gets my mind off of food. Ironic, huh?
Wide in Winnipeg Hey, I'm Polish, so I know the power that cabbage rolls can have over a person . . . Except we usually only have them around holiday time, so I don't have to face the temptation but a few times a year. I hope you got back on track today. Although that's what I said yesterday as well and I failed miserabley. I hoped you fared better.
ThinWithin225 I'm looking forward to the same visit, so that's why I think I'm having a hard time with control. Actually I know why. I always have the hardest time around the end of the month because of it. I wish it was warm enough to start walking again in KS. Our weather is freakish. We just had snow last week. I bet it's already warm in Georgia, isn't it?
eadavenp I think we all understand how food "talks" to us. It not only cries "EAT ME EAT ME," but you won't believe what else it does. It jumps up and down, chases after me, duct tapes me to the floor, forces my mouth open, and cha-cha's down my throat. It REALLY does. See, it isn't my fault at all. It really does have all the power. I'm defenseless, and what kind of person would I be if I maimed a poor cookie, even in self-defense?
Ahh, girls. I'm coming on here and doing this every night. At least my fingers are not putting things into my mouth. And my WPM is bound to improve.
I just want to thank everyone. This actually helps me and makes me feel better. You gals inspire me, you really do. You know I'm a bit strange anyway, but I love you all. You are all in my heart. I hope we can all heal some day.
Take care and much peace.
