Helloooooo! Does anyone remember me? I broke my ankle around Memorial Day and I've been seriously OUT of commission, OUT of control. But I'm back on my feet now, and ready to get back to work. Today is the first day of the second leg of my journey, and I tell ya, I NEED some help! Anyone with me?
One week, one day, one hour at a time, if you need help, we're here for you! We all have our setbacks, we all have our hardships, but we all need others for support! I promise to check in every day and help where I can, but we need to COMMIT, today.
Remember we have a Cyber-purge thread already, just we ask that you watch the "food porn", or descriptive binge details, as that sometimes sends others to those behaviors.
As you can see, I've been a lurker for a LONG time, but just recently started posting. So it's good to see you back even if I never was brave enough to participate in the boards.
I am definitely in for another week. Last week was the first week in I don't know how long where I really felt in control. I'd forgotten how nice it feels to treat myself well.
My husband is out of town on business until Wednesday. Until very recently I would have been planning days in advance how I was going to eat like a mad woman while he was gone. This time I'm thinking about how easy it will be to stay on track without having to be concerned he'll want to go for a splurge these two nights. What a change!
I'm on board! I haven't binged in 9 days, even after a restaurant meal, which normally starts a downward spiral. I'm ready for another binge-free week!
Monday turned into a binge day for me for some reason. Not a huge binge, but a binge none the less. I think it goes back to my incredibly irrational fear of success with getting back to goal. It is frustrating to be your own worst enemy!
Anyway, I've moved on. Maybe I haven't quite forgiven myself, but I've been doing well with food since then so I'm trying to keep my chin up.
I'm doing great! This site is wonderful - I've been getting so much inspiration to stay focused on eating healthy foods. I joined Fitday and have been logging everything I eat.
Starting my 6th binge-free day. I'm nervous about not having the structure I have during the work week. I will be out all day, but have planned for it and will bring my own food/snacks with me. Tonight will be my first dinner out...I will make good choices and only drink water (a glass of wine may send me into a sugar-binge).
How is everyone else handling the weekend? Any tips for staying on track?
I find I have to be organised at the weekend - I make sure my meals are planned out and I have to force myself to eat at my usual times otherwise I end up getting really hungry which increases the chance of a binge. Today is my 16th binge-free day. I had a challenge this week when we had friends over, but when they ordered thier large pizzas, I stuck a low-fat oven pizza in to cook. Have to say, it looked much nicer than thiers!
Kitten824 - I also got derailed yesterday, unfortunately. Stayed on my food plan all day until 5pm. Then, out with friends, I had a few drinks (I know, I said I wasn't going to) and ate much more than I would have if I was sticking to my plan. I'm right back on it today and will try to make better choices.
BINGE FREE WEEK, July 9th START!
