im joining!..and what perfect timing :) as an emtional eater with a food addiction and now going through a somewhat rough time with my father and his own addictions, i need something to keep me on my toes!

im very excited ladies and gents and hoping tomorrow night i will be able to put day one accomplished binge free! :)

I'm going to say day 1.

I didn't actually eat all that much (over my calorie goal, but still not a huge amount) but I know I ate purely out of emotion. I had a mini break down last night and just cried. It feels like my whole life has been focused on weight loss, and specifically the past two years when I really got serious about it, but I can never seem to make myself get to where I want to be. Sometimes I feel like everyone else can do it and will do it, but all I ever do is mess up. My sister in law got a new bike yesterday (which I am very happy about, I got one too recently, and I'm the one who picked it out for her even) but when I saw her on it I had the thought now she's going to lose the weight she wants, and I'm still going to be fat. It's awful I know, but I couldn't help it.

I know that the most important thing is to just pick myself back up and move on after a setback, but sometimes I feel like there's no point lately, cause I just keep ruining it all. Even if I don't go all out and let myself binge, I still don't stay on plan. And it should be SO easy. But I just mess it up. :?:

Today is day 2. Easter wasn't as bad as it could have been -- still bad, but not as bad as it could have been.

Thanks for the encouragment everyone! Now on day 24!

Good morning chicks,

I've got day 1 behind me and I did very good. I didn't have any desire to binge or eat junk food. I stuck to my Weight Watchers plan and ate mostly Simply Filling/Core foods. I'm finally dealing with my emotions and I know that will help me to avoid binging and stay on plan. Yesterday I did a lot of reading up on dealing with emotional eating and binging and it really did help me to get my act together and have the right frame of mind. Now I'm looking forward to dropping weight again and fitting in my summer clothes.

TheBunneh - Even though we have set backs, we can never give up! We have to keep on fighting. If we didn't keep fighting, we'd probably be 500 pounds or so. Stay strong and hang in there.

chels38 Welcome and heres to a binge free day:cheer2:

happytobeamomof2 You have done an awesome job! 100 days!!! I can't wait to be able to say I've made 100 days. Keep up the great work.

Congrats to everyone else who have successfully avoided binging.

Have a great day everyone.

I'm on Day 13...so close to two weeks! I haven't had a binge-free two weeks since...before Christmas. Wow. I just had to look at my calender to figure that out. Well. It's going to be hard. Tonight I'm going out with friends to a Mexican restaurant and then I have a friend visiting this weekend that I haven't seen for almost 2 years! But, I have plans in place. So, wish me luck!

Happytobe...100 days is AMAZING and you should be SO PROUD!

Bunneh...just join your SIL on those bike rides! Tell yourself, "If she can do it, I can do it!"

Hope everyone has a great Tuesday!

Thank you, GettinFit and foxxy511.

And yeah, I know that joining her would make sense. And really I don't know why I had that thought considering on Sunday I broke my bike in with a three hour long ride. :rolleyes: I just don't know how to stay positive sometimes. I try and then all of these thoughts creep into my mind telling me I can't do it and that I'm just going to keep messing up and nothing counts anymore because of all the times I have messed up before. And I don't think it helps that my TOM should have been here already and it feels like I've been PMSing for weeks...

Happytobe: Thank you so much for your support last night when I was about to lose control!:hug: It was a great feeling getting on here and seeing that...just made me want to try harder. Congrtats on 100 days too! :carrot: Absolutely amazing! I made it through last night, I had a banana in my backpack and I figured if it's sugar I want well that has plenty of it for me. After I ate that I wasn't as hungry, then I came home ate a great dinner and that's it! I wanted chips soo bad at 11pm last night but I told myself I'd feel better in the morning when I got on that scale and I have will power! Plus it's been 18 days without pop so I want to keep going.

tyla: thanks :)....I'm always here for you whenever you need it. WE have to stick together! And so proud of you for day 56!


Man was I trying to reason with myself on why it would be ok just to have one pop and candy, or chips...i saw that vending machine...and I wanted to slip sooo bad. I know that one slip of the candy or chips and I would continue to binge. But I came on here and Happytobe said to stay strong and I did! So Day 17! only 3 more til 20.

foxxy: your almost 2 weeks keep it up! :)

HettiPie: thanks, it feels good to be there! And I want to give you a very warm welcome!:wave::wel3fc:we are all here for you whenever you need it.

Day 57!!!! Woo Hoo!

jdonato - you did it!!! all by yourself... YOU did it!!!! CONGRATS!!! way to self talk!!!!

all you ladies deserve a pat-on-the-back from yourself...day 1 or day 101...doesnt matter!!! we are the only ones that can 'stop' ourselves from binging...even if we think this site makes a difference (being accountable and all)... i firmly believe we are each ONLY accountable to ourselves!!

lets keep strong and resolved! i cannot wait to post 183 days (1/2 year!) and now that i am over 100, i really dont see why i cannot just keep this going... i had chocolate, pnb, cake this weekend... it didnt control me... i stopped when it didnt taste good anymore... no mindless eating... and because it was not 'restricted' or a 'taboo', it really didnt taste that good! go figure!!!

keep rockin'!

Day 7

Day 11...woot woot!

fighting so hard right now to not binge... guess it is because i am very tired (not sure why i am so tired but i am)... all that easter candy is talking to me... and i am doing my best to not say "well i made it 100 days"...after all, that is besides the point right!?!? 30 min until i get to talk to my bf... 1.5hrs until my bedtime 'snack' (tonight is crumpet with 1/2 tbls pnb)... tea... i will drink hot tea... i can do this... i've done it more than 100 nights now... since dec 27... breath, just breath... no need to eat... belly is gurgling anyways...just breath....

Ugh Happy2bemom! I know the feeling! Sorry tonight is your night to deal with that. :hug:

Day 51.

Thanks for all the congrats everyone!

Most everyone seems to be doing so well lately! Yay, US! :D
