Thanks DogMom!

Day 5 today.

Had an extra snack last night (dietician @ work said I can eat more than I have been this week) but no B-ing.

Challenge: out to dinner w/ a friend tomorrow. I plan on veggie burger w/ no bun or fries.

Day 62 here! I really wanted to binge yesterday. It kinda felt like, "If I can't binge, then I don't want to eat anything!" --obviously pretty self-destructive, because then I wind up getting super hungry and we all know what happens then...so I ate a sensible dinner, and went to bed.

Day 5!! I did have two glasses of wine last night but it was within my calorie limit and I didn't binge!

I did, last night. Back to day 1 for me today.

Day 6 for me! I did go out to eat with a friend on Tuesday for Thai food and almost hit 1,700 calories, but I was really happy with myself for maintaining 1,200 calories the rest of this week so far while maintaining a good balance of nutrients and more importantly, feeling full! I didn't deny myself anything aside from free cupcakes that work was giving out this week. That was a tough one. -_-

Day 6 today.

I didn't B yesterday but I did overeat: went over my limit by 59 cal.
Doesn't sound like much, but I was trying to be under-target.
I was just so tired when I got out of work and I had no will power, so I guess it could have been a lot worse. . .

Today is that dinner out w/ a friend so I have to stick to my guns and not order cheese or a bun on that veggie burger!

One day at a time ladies.

Hi chicks, i haven't been around for a while. My mother broke her hip and now she is living with me. It's been so much work taking care of her, that I am not taking care of myself. I am not happy with that. I binged today, but not as much as usual. It is becoming a bad habit that I use because my life is now turned upside down, with no time to myself except to stuff my face with as much food as i can in the 10 min. I have to spare. I don't even walk anymore, I miss it so much. I am very unhappy right now. But I have promised myself to start walking on Tuesday( when the weather is supposed to warm up) and make time for myself everyday. Then the binging will get better i think. Thankfully i didn't gain weight from it yet because I am so busy I don't sit. I'm starting day one tomorrow!!!!

Day 1 for me

Starting day 63 today.

Fruitlady--I'm sorry about your mom--that must be very diffcult to deal with, I can even imagine having to take care of my mother all the time! I hope it warms up for you (and for me too, it's cold!)

serendipity--good luck with day one!

dogmom--good luck with day 6--please don't stress about 59 cals--for me at least, it's that kind of thinking/mental games with myself that are destructive and send me over the edge. I understand your frustration, but you really need to pick your battles!

thanks Paris!!! I'm dealing with it ok now, we have a good routine going. It's like taking care of a baby again! I feel like I'm not a free person anymore and I have to start taking care of myself now. This is day 1 binge free for me and I can't wait til Tuesday when it warms up a little, I'm going for my walk for sure, no matter what!!
