Day 4.... as long as I don't do anything silly between now and bedtime!

wiosna -- pick yourself up and start again! We're here for you!! You can do it! :carrot:

I survived my first binge free day yesterday! I feel great and the scale already went down because of it. :) It's so great waking up without feeling guilty. On to my 2nd binge free day!

D, the oatmeal sounds amazing! I love PBJ!!! How do you make it?

poop! I'm starting over again, Day 1 - but I did get 2 days this time without binges AND it was a smaller binge than sometimes! gonna do some self reflection and try for through Monday, no binges!

Hey girls. Bad day yesterday :( Its so frustrating because I know exactly what to do to be healthy and feel great but I manage to screw it up. I have a 10k race on Sunday so my goal for the next few days is to fuel myself for the race and eat well so that I can run my best. That means no binges!!! Good luck!

Jessica, congrats to you on day 1! =)

Lost, way to look on the bright side. This is kind of cliche, but I really find that it helps to take this one day at a time - because the days add up! When I tell myself I'll get through an entire week or some other specified length of time, I think it sets up really high expectations that can be harmful to me.

TC - good luck on the race!

This was my post in the other binge thread, posted yesterday:

I was SO close to not only a perfect on-plan day, but a DEFICIT (350 less than I usually eat, to make up for the awful weekend).
Then, seeing as how I had to go to the grocery store after class (9:30 pm-ish) to get a fruit platter for a work party, let’s just say evil forces took over. I was also stressed b/c I knew I had to have a discussion w/ hubby that was not going to go over well.
It was like a PRE-fight binge, in the grocery store parking lot. THEN I had 428 cal of special K fruit/yogurt cereal once I got HOME. Toward the end I was picking out the dried yogurt bits and eating just those.

This morning I was so disgusted w/ myself I had a fruit and protein shake for breakfast, hardly packed any snacks, plan on drinking lots of coffee and water today...

----------------
So to update yesterday: I was GOOD when I got home.
(Didn't exercise, but didn't overeat).
I didn't have a deficit, but I was OP.
So today is day 2.

:)

I thought I could do a binge-free week, but yesterday I fell into old habits. :(

It is so hard to stay motivated when I have sooooo far to go!!!!

This is about day number 3 for me with no binges. :carrot:

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!

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