Today is a great day! I'm on Day 4 and I went to my Grad Expo today....I got my cap and gown, my orange tassel (engineering is orange), and my tickets and signed up for the alumni assoc. Im so scared I just want to get through and pass this semester, I graduate May 7th. It's beautiful out and I feel like I will be able to have more control in my life, eating, school, work all of it. I just have to work very hard at it, which i'm willing to. I hope everyone has a great day.

Thanks jdonato. Good job on day four!


I'm having a really hungry day today. I'm sick and a little fuzzy from cough syrup so I think that's making it harder too (plus I can't workout today, I did for the past couple days and it really aggravates my cough). But so far I'm still good on calories and I know that as long as I don't panic I'll be okay. I'm focusing on eating for nutrition and making myself choose foods based on how they will benefit my body. And if I go over my calories a tiny bit at least it will still be good food. Taking the pressure off to be 100% on calories today helps a lot.

jdonato- Thanks for the support. I'm on day 6 today, still no urge to pig out. Amazing, i usually don't go more than 7 days without a binge and I just might make it this time.

day 1 today....
 

Today I am busting my butt to burn off the extra from yesterday. I might just do it! Tomorrow I would like to go for a walk. I was good about food today, eating a naughty but low cal breakfast (toaster strudel), fruit and whipped cream for lunch, and tonight I'm making a stew. It should be pretty low cal, I have yet to figure it up for sure. :D

I hope you all are doing well. It's hard for me to go a week without bingeing... so, we'll see.

I'm quite sure that I'll allow myself a binge once in a while, but I should be able to do much better than I have lately....

jdonato- thanks for the warm welcome...I'm sure I'll frequent this board until it's gone and hopefully the next ones as well. :cool:

jdonato - you have an amazing smile! thank you for taking the time to compliment everyone... it is ladies like you (and everyone else that takes the time to comment) that make me feel like i can keep this going... even on nights like tonight when i am 1.5hrs from my last 'snack' and already hungry...

i was invited, at the last minute, to a luncheon tomorrow and, for the first time, i am not panicing about what food might be there... i can go, enjoy whatever it is (likely a sit down meal that i cannot control at all except to push aside anything really obvious) and i am really okay with the idea of having dessert tomorrow without feeling guilty! this is huge for me... no panics... no issues..... just a business lunch... wooo hoo!!!

thanks ladies! cannot wait to hear that you made it through another day binge free!

Happytobe - I absolutely understand the challenge of going to have a meal you can't control and feeling panicky about it. Yet it's going to happen sometimes so it's much more enjoyable if you can just relax and enjoy it.

Day 3 for me - It'd been about a month since I had binged and then Sunday I ate and ate and ate and ate - it was awful and I was literally 10 pounds heavier on Monday. It feels like every time I get close to my weight goal I end up sabotaging myself - What's up with that? Anyways, hopping on here instead of eating more like I want to - Had my dinner, felt satisifed hunger wise, but it's like there's a knot in my stomach or hole that I'm trying to fill :( Been sad this week, probably because of overindulgence last weekend.

jdonato - thanks for mentioning me earlier... it makes me feel so supported!!

today is day 4!

btw- sarahslacker... i know how you feel! I was about 45 days binge free and then this weekend I binged and ate so much, I was so full and sick the next day... I was just so thirsty and I had no room in my stomach for water it was awful.
but if you can go a month, I know you can do it again. Keep your chin up.

Day 12! Tired today, which never makes me want to eat, just sleep!

Day 4. =)

This is day 45. :D Good luck to us all!:goodluck:

Happytobe, I know you'll do well at the luncheon. As Dr. Laura says, "Your will is stronger than food. Don't let the food control you." Hope this helps. (I'm using all these techniques, too.LOL) :cheer3:

jdonato, thanks for noticing how far I've come. This is a huge deal. And, welcome back. We missed you! :welcome2:

Have a great day, everyone!

Tyla

Day 7 for me, I'm breaking a record! Getting tempted, but I'm trying real hard to remind myself of how I feel after I binge on peanut butter and f.f reddi whip. Like crap!!
