don't do it!

You can do it ! Don't eat the pie! if it gets overwhelming just throw the pie away and tell your mom you didn't have any self control and ate the whole thing! if you keep eating the "whole" thing, she'll probably stop bringing them home

Haha, that's a good idea Lost!

Well, it turned out not to be a pie, but two mini loaves of pumpkin bread and about a dozen pumpkin muffins. I love pumpkin. But, when I came home from a long day of subbing (and I'm famished I might add) I can honestly say the urge to eat them is not great. It's there (I think it will always be), but it's not something I'm dwelling on. Now later tonight might be a different story...

Anyway, I'm going to have some oatmeal and then thankfully I have class tonight so I don't have to look at delicious baked goods until after that.

Sorry I haven't been around - I had a kind of bad weekend and didn't binge EAT but instead DRANK because of something I found out that really upset me. I don't usually do that - alcohol is not my "substance of choice," food is.... but neither is good to such excess.

I just wanted to tell everyone that I made my first appointment with an eating disorder psychologist! I am so happy about this. I also have had a binge the past two nights on cereal! ugh! But I started over today and have made me a healthy scramble with no fat. I used 6 eggs, 2 cups veggies and 2 oz of cheese and this has lasted all day and kept me full! with just 80 calories an egg and eating it through the day i have gotten protein and veggies. Sorry I have been in that funk! I have made it apparent now to stop in atleast once a day, no excuses! love and light to all!!!

christy, I hope your appointment goes well and is helpful for you!
Cereal is a major binge food for me too - I've finally come to terms with the fact that I just can't buy it.

im not going to eat it anymore either.I have been focusing on healthy foods. I'm going to be going grocery shopping next week to replenish my cabinets. no more boxed processed foods. I want to go whole, like veggies, fruits, multi grains, and proteins of soy, chicken and fish. I was vegetarian but i tend to binge worse that way but however im staying away from red meats.

ugh....i'm lying to myself. Yes I'm not binging all day but what I am doing is eating huge meals at meal time until I feel uncomfortable. I think I need to go to my local Walmart and get toddler plates and bowls and only eat one plate/bowl. I have to look at this through the psychological way. my husband gets paid tomorrow so I am going to go looking then. I'm tired of this feeling.....

I understand the feeling of not wanting to be seen.... I actually did not know what bad of shape I was in until a little while ago when it was hard for me to bend over and help change my two year old, I was out of breath! *sigh* The only thing that makes since is to just try again. Just stop at the next meal and start over. I'm sorry I'm not mcu help but I know there has to be light at the end, ya know? *super hugs*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

D -- I know what you mean. This morning my stomach still felt full and I could barely pull my jeans on. They were uncomfortable all morning. And I was just thinking... "seriously? Did I get myself into this AGAIN? I must look awful."

Unfortunately you can't change what happened, so all you can do is know that your stomach WILL go back down and you can try again. I believe in you! You're one of my biggest inspirations here!

This is great idea, I'm in! Some afternoons for me are so hard, about once a week. Once I get natural peanut butter on my mind I can't resist. I eat so much ( I mean almost the whole jar)and a half of a half gallon of frozen yogurt with it that I feel sick, in pain and uncomfortable. So, It's been three days now since I did it. I decided not to buy either item anymore! I hope I don't give in.

I had a bad day yesterday.... I binged on chocolate from Halloween! ugh... I love sweets so damn much!

I digged into the halloween candy as well... after I found out that DH lost his job. We don't know what we're going to do.

Then came the cereal, then the cookies. The junk food is all around as I live with 4 men.

Sigh. I really am disgusted with myself.

My roommates are eating Doritos RIGHT NOW next to me... they offered me some and I said no thanks but they're still there... I'm so tempted! someone talk me out of it??
