Put yesterday behind you Sak...today will be better!

Way to pass off the cake on someone else Shasha...a very wise move!

Yesterday was good, today is going to be good! It's storming here though, makes me sleepy, haha. I'm cooking dinner with some friends tonight and I'm excited about that, going to save up some calories for it though, because it's undecided what we're going to have.

Have a great day everyone!

Monday was great day for me, I was binge free despite a lot of stress at work. I'm off today and decided to go for an early 5 mile run. I find that when I exercise early in the day, I'm less likely to binge later. I'll be checking back to see how everyone else is doing this week. Kudos Sasha on handling the tiramisu cake situation so well!

I ended up trying a little sliver of cake, but it was less than a full serving. (A full serving being 240 cal).
Foxy511- I love cooking dinner with other people. Only hard part is when theres more than 1 is deciding what to cook.
Njssweetpea- oooh so jealous. I wish I could run more than 2 feet. I know we all have to start somewhere. I'm going to start adding running as I lose more weight.

Hi Everyone.

Did ok yesterday - even with a trip to a restaurant with the dh.

Today is another matter. Thought it would be better - but got a phone call from the UK about the dh's mom. She is back in the hospital after only being home from the hospital for a week. I am sad and all sorts of other emotions. While I have not run out the the store to buy my favorite binge foods - I have been over eating. I need to get it together for the dh and dd and mil and me!
Tomorrow I will start anew...and for the rest of today I promise myself that I will not undo all the good work I have done, and remember that I have control and tools and skills.
If you want, send some good energy to the UK for my mil.
Thanks for letting me share.

Ash

Thank you Danni. She seems to be doing better today.

Heading on vacation tomorrow. Will be thinking of all of you. Decided to be more moderate in by goals for vacation - since being overly strict got me in trouble last time. Eating off plan but healthy, but no over eating and eating only when I am hungry.

Catch you later!
Ash

So far today has been really good. Its around lunch time that it gets bad. My coworkers that I eat lunch with want to go to Panda Express. I have a Lean Cuisine in the fridge along with some cut up veggies that I will have to stick to. Whenever I go to Panda I totally overeat. I get several items + rice + an eggroll or 2.

So far this week Monday Tuesday and Wednesday have been fine, no bingeing at all, it is 8.50 pm here in Liverpool (UK) so I am off to watch some TV which will keep me out of the kitchen

To cut a long story short my DD went missing from her SummerScheme. They'd gone to the cinema and whilst it was dark she just got up and left. The whole cinema complex went into allert, all films stopped showing, the police were called, my DD had taken herself to Macdonalds. Now my DD is Autistic and can't ask for help. She has no fear of danger and unlike some people on the autistic spectrum she loves cuddles and will hold hands with any one. You can imagine what I've been going through. Luckily for her noone abducted her. She went to Macdonalds because she knew that was where we were going after I'd met up with her after the cinema. To get to Mac's from the cinema meant she had to cross a very busy road. All I can say is thank God we drilled it into her to wait for the green man before she crosses the road. In fact she won't cross that road without the green man, and if we try to get across without it then she will literally scream. That green man could have saved her life today.

Watching my food intake hasn't been a priority and yes a binge has and is occuring as I type.

Nicki54~ Yikes what a stressful and scary day. I'm not a mom yet, so I can't even imagine what you must have been going through. I'm so happy that your DD was safe and sound.

Nicki54 · 08-05-2009, 04:47 PM

Thanks Shasha, who knows what could have happened if those around hadn't known what to do and didn't get into a panic. It's also the first time in over 30 years that any child has wandered off from the particular special needs playscheme that my daughter attends. In fact my daughter is the first to wander off. It's one of the reasons that we picked it for her to attend.

Hey everyone,
I have had 2 more binge free days and I'm happy. I thought I'd give in yesterday as I went to Sardinia on a day trip and airports are full of junk food!! My friends brought a carrier bag full with 2 big bags of doritos, a box of cookies, lollipops, m&ms and sweets. Lucky I'd brought my own box of raspberries and apricots to snack on! After a day of swimming in the sea, I treated myself to a 97cal coconut wafer biscuit, which was delicious and satisfied me!

I hope I can maintain this and lose some more weight this week, but only time will tell!

xx

Madison · 08-05-2009, 10:52 PM

Great going everyone!!

Oh Nicki that must have been frightening for you all

So glad your daughter was found safe and sound.

Hi everyone. This looks like a good thread for me. I hope that by participating in it I can gain more tools for keeping myself on track better. I am not looking for perfection, here... I have learned the hard way that trying to lose weight and control and change poor eating habits and having an all or nothing perfectionist attitude don't exactly go togeher.

I had a good day today and yesterday. Day before... Not so much. But overall, I am on track for more days than not. So, a small victory, I guess.

So, I accept the challenge to try to be binge free until the ninth.
