1 Day No Binge Challenge
 

This is a great way to start. Just do what works for you! So far I have 5 days binge free, and there are many times I feel like I just have to take it one day (or hour) at a time. Keep thinking positive, and we can get through this!

Control
 

Hi ladies! I would love to be part of the Sunday Binge free Challange.
The strange part is that I am such a control freak in every other aspect of my life (a little bit of overcompensation prehaps???)

Ah well one day at a time as the saying goes!

Hi! Thank you and congratulations on your 5 days Forabetterlife!

Well its 10am and I'm still on track. ;) But then I only woke up about 9 minutes ago. hee hee

Flappy and Fora - here is to us (and anyone else out there) having a binge free day! Yay!

one more day under my belt!
 

OK ladies...I came close but I did not blow it!!!

So now I look to tomorrow without any guilt or baggage from today!

Sunday is never a good day...soooooooo..... if we managed to not binge today we can make it through tomorrow without a binge...one day at a time!

I vow to not binge tomorrow!...I hope my higher power stays with me and I don't let me down!

Here's to us girls

congrats girls! today marked a week binge-free for me, keep it up you can do it!!

Ok..I needed to see this post 3 hours ago! I have been perfect and on plan for 15 days. Yesterday, I went to 4 grocery stores scoping out some healthy items. I just happened to walk down the frozen pizza aisle as I was leaving one store of which I never shop. I saw a particular pizza that I love but which is hard to find. It just threw me for a loop they actually had it...and on sale! It was so funny...I picked it up and looked at the calorie content and put it back with a prideful motion.

On the drive home, I called my husband and told him of my accomplishment....and that seemed to fuel the desire I had for it. I think I was honestly waiting for his permission or nudge to tell me to go back and get one. Today, I have been home alone...ate well, but had to battle all the self talk abotu that pizza. I finally left the house...drove the 20 minutes bought 2 of them...came home and baked then and proceeded to eat portions of each. I like the crust in particular...so I ate the upper inch or 2 of the pizza.

I did this with the complete knowledge that I was not hungry but eating out of emotion. Today was a higher calorie day for me, so I consciously just gave in and wanted to get this binge over with, and not carry it all week. I am hoping that now I did it, I can move on.

Had to get that off my chest. Congrats to everyone that made better choices today.

It's OK Coachie!
 

Coachie,
We have all been there...it is almost like a semi conscious state where you and the object of your desire...this time pizza... were the only two entities in the world.

Listen, the difference between us and skinny people is that we don't let ourselves forget our mistakes. We dwell on the guilt and we proceed to sabotage our diets for days on end in the process.

Eating 200 pizza's is not as bad as some of the actions of people around us who do not seem to have any guilt at all!!

Coachie and everyone else on this thread...lets make a promise to each other to not be judgemental and to make this thread a guilt free zone. Coachie what if you try to think about eating that pizza as a treat that you deserved. Now that it is out of your system, make today another day to be good to yourself in a way that does not involve food. Don't beat yourself up... just carry on as if this is another day to be happy. You deserve it!!

WE ARE ALL HERE FOR YOU!!!

Coachie - Don’t beat yourself up!! If you dwell on this too much then a full blown binge might happen, at least that is what would happen to me. I know that if I just ignored the treats that I had then the big binges wouldn't happen and I wouldn't have a weight problem. My ultimate goal is to get to a healthy weight and allow myself to eat like a normal person without going nuts when I have a piece of chocolate. You are doing great! :carrot: :hug:

One Day At A Time
 

Ok ladies,
Who is on board for a binge free Tuesday? Tuesdays are better than Mondays and have less temptation than Fridays and Saturdays! So its a safer bet we can get through a Tuesday...who is with me?

We can make it!!
flappy

I'm so in! I binged yesterday but today I'm refusing to give in! :strong:

Thanks everyone!! You completely helped me re-frame my mindset. Here's to a great Tuesday!

Tuesdays done!
 

Hey gang....one way or another its over. I had some interesting moral (ok food) dilemmas but I mostly did OK! I actually started thinking about writing an email telling all of you about the binge I was contemplating and boy that snapped me back to reality.

Just thinking about having to be accountable made me stop in my tracks

Thanks to everyone on this forum who keeps me honest:hug:

What do you all say...can we make it through Wed too???;)
I'm game if all of you are with me
Thanks
Flappy

Wednesday
 

Flappy Glad you stuck to it!

I've managed both two days without binging now. :D :broc: Hope everybody else has a wonderful binge free day!
