Good morning Danni, Jen, Soul, Foxxy, Evie, Nicki!
Today is a new day and a new experiment.
Did not binge yesterday, but still did not feel good after dinner. Again it was salad and protein. I dunno.
It has been 17b days with out dessert and now we have company coming and we are going out to eat. And the restaurant (vegetarian - much easier for me that mex, indian, or chinese) has the best vegan cake and I love it. SO I must decide what to do in advance. SO that is the plan decide in advance, stick to it and be powerful.
Ash -- I like your mindset! I know you'll make smart choices at dinner tonight!
Danni -- feel better soon!
As for me, I had a great night last night after dinner. I didn't eat the oatmeal I was planning to because when 8:00 rolled around....I wasn't hungry! So, I didn't eat...which is a totally new concept for me, haha. I had big glasses of water all night long too to flush out an excess sodium I might have eaten at dinner. This morning....down 2lbs! So, I must keep this night in mind when I go out to dinner in the future. I can go, not eat a salad but make smart choices, enjoy myself, fight off my junk cravings afterwards, and come out stronger on the other side! And I realized this morning that I feel good about myself today not because I saw a drop in the scale this morning (although that's nice) but because I made smart, healthy, normal choices last night. That's a good feeling.
I'm renewing my pledge not to step on the scale again until next Thursday. Generally I see an increase over the weekends because I have to eat late at night due to working til 9pm...I think that's what led to my weight gain last Sunday and the binge that followed. So, help keep me accountable...I will NOT step on that stupid scale tomorrow because I will NOT let it control my feelings!
Aw Danni!! I hope you start feeling better soon!!!
Ash: Thanks! Coming on here makes me feel really motivated, just being able to say that I haven't binged is a good feeling. lol I'm shocked I've not binged once this week, I'm so weak when it comes to food, let's hope the rest of the week is just as good.
Foxxy : The scales can be evil! Well it warps your brain and has you living your life by the numbers and you need to give it time. I think I get paranoid the more I use scales.
Hey darlings! Hope you are all having a good evening!
Well done soulsurvivor - and Emily I am so proud of you and your incredible growth and realisations!!!! Awesome inner work there - its THAT which will hold you in good stead in the long run.
Good evening
Haven't been here for a while, but I wasn't doing too great lately (guess you wouldn't be proud of me if I told you that I was on a 3 week long binge and was just shamed to come here).
Anyways.....it's time to refocus and change priorities now....I am in Day 2 today and loving it, though it's really hard after all that binging my stomach went thought.
So happy to see that you are all doing so awesome!!! You are all such an inspiration!!!
binge free day again, although I didn't eat til 5 pm. I am used to that from fast-5, but I changed my window to 2pm or 3pm. So I was totally thrown off guard it was MADE 5 pm.
I had a dr appt at 2:15, didn't get seen til 4pm! Then finally left at 4:30pm. Picked up a few groceries, came home to have to cook dinner and I was starving. I ate some high protein food while I was cooking. While I was in town, I FOUGHT the urge to go to the chinese restaurant but I DID buy me some egg rolls (did the trick). I might just have an egg roll and egg drop soup meal tomorrow.
Now, if I could just get some california rolls...I'd be set!
So it was a great "Day 3" of being binge free until something happend and I just started munching whatever I could find within my eyesight. Started with bread, then cereal and some cheese. And then was a run to the store to get cookies and ice cream.
Wardhog....you are right....tomorrow is a new day.....new hope.
I believe we can do it!
It really is a new experiment every day isnt it . . . 
Awesome inner work there - its THAT which will hold you in good stead in the long run.
