Skyra 10-22-2009 05:55 PM

hooray ohiofreespirit! :carrot:

I completed Day 2 successfully!! Feeling great being back on track. I almost binged this afternoon. I was craving sweets so bad, but I texted my husband and he talked me out of it. I was fine a few minutes later. Whoo Hoo!

jenichip1 10-22-2009 08:58 PM

I've been binge-free for one day..gonna do this this weekend!!!

Good job Jessica and Jennifer! I am approaching the end of binge free day 4 :-)

I am on the tail end of day five. I had pizza for dinner (but a reasonable amount) AND I ate it in front of the TV (not such a good idea--it is my trigger for binging).

I am in a funky mood and I am worried. I hope I can hang on. If my sweetie wants to watch TV together tonight and pulls out the ice cream I am not sure I can take it...

Skyra 10-23-2009 12:44 AM

Karen -- stay strong with me. I've felt shaky today, too, and I nearly binged on Oreos tonight. I even started crying during my workout because I thought I looked awful... so maybe I'm not the best person to give support right now, but I want you to know that I'm experiencing the same thing and I want both of us to MAKE IT! Make it through tonight! One day, one hour at a time. Tell yourself: I AM NOT GOING TO BINGE TONIGHT. I won't if you won't. :hug:

iriswhispers 10-23-2009 01:11 AM

Karen and Skyra - you can do this - I will second what Skyra said - "one day, one hour at a time" and add - one MINUTE at a time. That is really the only way I am pulling through right now.

Day 5 for me. F-I-V-E. I am truly amazed. Thanks to everyone here for the support you've given!

Skyra 10-23-2009 01:24 AM

:hug: You're welcome, Iris. And thanks for your support, too.

Finished with day 5! Haven't been here in awhile, my internet sort of died. I had some ice cream yesterday, but it was a small portion in a restaurant with more fruit than ice cream. I am excited because I don't feel guilty, therefore no urge to binge. So often I binge when I eat one "bad" food I feel like I might as well throw the whole day away. And I didn't!

Jessica Rae 10-23-2009 08:12 AM

You can do it Karen and Skyra!! You'll feel sooo good when you successfully turn away from the food. It's so empowering. *hug*

D, I tried the peanut butter and jelly oatmeal this morning. It's so yummy!! Thanks for the recipe :)

Today's going to be a hard day. I'll be on a 5 hour car ride and my parents pack lots of snacks that will be sitting next to me in the back seat the whole way. Last week I didn't stop eating them the whole time I was in the car. I'm planning on which snacks I'm going to eat every 2 hours. Other than that I have to make sure I stop myself. I can do this!

lostbutstilltrying 10-23-2009 08:39 AM

I did it, one whole day without bingeing! thanks everybody for your encouragement, now for today! I feel like I can do this!

duqserb 10-23-2009 08:59 AM

Jessica good luck today! Throw a blanket over the snacks or something so you won't see them lol You can do it! Congrats lost! See it IS possible!!! One day at a time girl. This is the start of day 5 for me and I started it with an awesome workout and yummy breakfast of kashi cereal with cinnamon sprinkled on top along with a yogurt :-) It's Friday ladies! Let's end the work week on a good note!!

Day 3!!!

lostbutstilltrying 10-23-2009 07:57 PM

at dinner out, I just took a couple bites from my favorite molten dessert and then passed the plate to someone else and I've been binge free so far all day, I really think I'm making a breakthrough

Skyra 10-23-2009 08:40 PM

Hooray for EVERY SINGLE PERSON on this board. It's really awesome to hear all your success stories. :D I could have binged on Reese's today, but I didn't! Partially because I wanted to get to the end of the week with everybody else! I ate edamame instead, which was still satisfying. It's so great to know this is DAY SIX of eating sensibly. I haven't done this well in such a long time! Thanks to everybody ... and here's to more binge-free days. ;)

lostbutstilltrying 10-23-2009 10:15 PM

cheers to all of us! 2 days, 2 days without binges! 2 days, I'm so happy!

duqserb 10-24-2009 09:52 AM

Whew! Beginning of day 6 for me. Almost 1 whole week of NO overeating and NO bingeing! And I feel great :-) You ladies have an amazing weekend!!!

~D~

TakingCharge 10-24-2009 10:31 AM

Hey ladies! Unfortunately, binge free week was quite binge FULL. It's definitely not a good feeling because I know I'm stronger than this, but I'm learning my lesson this time. I have to! It's time to reign myself in and take control! I'm an adult for goodness sakes! So my binge free week starts today. Lots of temptations around but my plan is to avoid them altogether because I know if I go for moderation today, I'll set myself up for failure. I'll be back tonight to report on day 1. Wish me luck!

Skyra 10-24-2009 12:21 PM

Good luck TakingCharge! :D

duqserb 10-24-2009 11:46 PM

End of day 6! YES!!!

~D~

lostbutstilltrying 10-25-2009 08:57 AM

didn't make it, but am feeling like I am getting this and doing better and just plain OK

duqserb 10-25-2009 10:42 AM

Good to hear that you feel you are improving. It'll take time girlie. Even though this is the start of my day 7 I have to keep reminding myself of the fact that I'll more than likely fall off at some point and have to start over. But as we get used to this it should happen less and less :-) Everyone have a great Sunday!

~D~

Skyra 10-25-2009 02:30 PM

Hooray for you dugserb. Right now you are such an inspiration to me. :) 7 days, I can't even imagine!

I made it 5 days last time so this time I hope to make it to at least 6. Weekends are still so tough.

I do wish I would go down even a LITTLE bit in weight so I could believe all this binge-free eating is worth it... I suppose 5 days is too soon, eh? I know it's worth it to break the habit even if I don't lose any weight, but I'm hoping... hoping!! I'm exercising hard so maybe in a couple weeks I'll see a difference!

Everybody have a strong end to the week. :hug: I know I will!

duqserb 10-25-2009 02:54 PM

Thanks Skyra....5 days is also great! And I hope you make this day 6 :-) Honestly though...I only did so well this week because I didn't go anywhere lol I plan on staying on track this week too but then my big challenge will come next Fri/Sat. My best friends bachelorette party is on Saturday and things will get started by her parents house with lots of pizza and other foods. THAT is what I'm scared of :-( Because I've actually had a craving for pizza lately..but the last thing I want to do is stuff myself with pizza then go out for a night of drinking...bleh So it's going to take EVERY ounce of strength for me to have ONLY a couple of slices and then STOP. And with there being ppl there I can't exactly yell at the pizza like I did last night with the nutella lol

~D~

TakingCharge 10-25-2009 03:04 PM

Wow girls, I'm so proud of you!! You're doing such a great job. I'll be looking to you for inspiration this week! I ran my 10k today and have been pretty liberal with my food choices. I'm not sure it's really bingeing but I'm not tracking calories and I know when I do that it means I'm prob not on track. I'm really gonna take this challenge to heart this week though and that means posting here everyday and not letting you girls and myself down!! Here's to a great week!!
