Had ice cream yesterday but did not binge or overindulge. Wanted more but refrained.
TOM arrived today (joy of joys) and my weight is somehow UP 1 lb.? I am thinking it is water weight from TOM. Grrrrr. I feel yucky and grumpy today even though I did 2.5 miles w/ Zach this morning. 5:30 AM is our new exercise time.
I need to start going to the gym again. I used to go all the time to use the elliptical and weight machines. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow and if so I will go. I want to aim to go at least 3x a week for the rest of the month.
Hope everybody else is doing well!

Hi, I am back. Day 14. I flew to NC on Friday night. It was an overnight flight but all I had was fruit. I made some bad food choices but stuck to three meals a day, with just a little popcorn and fruit on the flights. I did eat chips and queso and baked potatoes with sour cream when I was out there but I didn't go overboard and I didn't have flour or sugar. I was sooooo tempted.
Saturday and Sunday I sat by my friends bed and sang him songs for hours on end. He passed away last night during the night.
I am home now, just until Wednesday when we fly to Europe, which will be another test. I am going to try to eat 3 meals a day and avoid flour and sugar. I am not going to worry too much about my weight until I get back.
Blaaah, I don't have much time to write any personals, but I just wanted to check in on this week's thread! Today was day 23 for me... I'm still shocked... And in typical "Meredith" luck, I have yet another stupid paper due next Monday, which I'm totally stressed about, so I'm just hoping I'll be able to get through this one without binging--I've already proven that it's possible with my good behavior this past weekend, so I'm just hoping I can keep it up! I had a brief panicky moment this morning because I was starting to freak out about the paper - just feeling like I'm sooo not prepared to write it - and had a really strong urge to binge... Probably the strongest one I've had recently, actually! But luckily I wasn't really around any food, so I was able to resist by default, heh.
See you ladies tomorrow! I'll be back to write some personals.
Hello ladies. I am joining your weekly binge free thread. I hope that is ok. I am on day #1 of my journey. Well, not really. I've been on the "journey" for a long time. About a year ago, I got serious about losing weight and lost about 35 pounds. In the past three months, I started a new job, moved into a new apartment and moved in with my boyfriend. Because of all the changes, I started binging more and more. I don't really know how much weight I've put back on...maybe 15 pounds. I know it's important to stop the cycle before I put all the weight back on. I am training for a marathon, so my exercise is not the problem...it's the food. Today has been a very good day so far. One thing I'm trying that is different from other times, is I'm not really making any food off limits. Whenever I tell myself I can't have something, I freak out and want more and more and more. Here's to the first day on my journey to success.
I'm doing this too. I am starting today, so far so good (yeah it's only 9am LOL). Not only am I not going to binge, I am not going to eat flour or sugar either. I had plain yogurt which I normally would not touch but I mixed it with bananas and it was yummy. I also had oatmeal with no sugar and survived lol
I'm in! I started 3FC on Friday and haven't binged since then. My brother left a box of donuts at my house on Sunday. I had 1/4 of a donut while my family was here. They left half a dozen behind! Uh oh!!!!!!
I came home yesterday from work and ate 1 donut and that's it. For dinner I had whole wheat pasta with ground turkey. I felt really good when I went to bed.
MY GOAL FOR TODAY: GO TO THE GYM! (Haven't gone in about 2 weeks)
just_a_dreamy1 - I got up to 50something days. It's a great start! Good luck!
pinkplatypus - Good luck on day 1!
As for me I ate OP and I went to the gym today. I had a confidence boost: I measured my waist and I went from 52" to 48" since Jan/February. I KNOW I can lose more inches if I hit the gym, so I had NO struggles getting there today!
