I avoided some food today that I would usually binge on. I really want to make it through a day avoiding those types of food, as I know the longer I don't eat them, the better I get about sticking with healthier eating choices.

I also feel like if I had eaten like I usually do, the usual people would have been looking at my plate with disgust.

I am sooo happy! I think that if I can make it through today without eating that way, then I can do it for longer periods and really get into eating healthier and being able to watch my portions better.

I am also going to ease up on the sugary drinks. I looked at what I ate when I lost weight before, and I tended to eat more protein than carbs. And now, I can see that it is the sugary drinks that really mess up the balance protein to carbs.

Good for you! Congratulations! That's no small task, I know. Keep it up!

Awesome for you! I know how hard it is! You rock!

thank you for your support. it was really hard avoiding those trigger foods, plus there was the added stress of feeling like certain people were watching what i put on my plate. but i avoided eating it and I feel so good!

Wish me luck on day 2. I am feeling empowered, and I don't know where that is coming from, but I really like it. I feel like I can give up sugar---which just a few days ago was something I thought would be difficult.

I am feeling really good about being able to eat clean again, and I am keeping in my fridge only those things that help me to eat clean and avoid sugary and starchy treats.

I have been doing good and avoided so many types of food I enjoy---bread, sugar, etc.

I am feeling really encouraged right now, as I didn't think I would be able to go this long without adding sugar to my usual foods, etc. This past week has given me a lot of hope in terms of being able to control my overeating and bingeing.
