OMG! for the first time i understand what you all are talking about when you say how much 3fc supports you in your goals! this is unbelievable and really does help! i will lurk no more
and ..... drum roll pls.........
DAY TWO COMPLETE! and it was even better than yday!
i only went off plan once and that was at lunch time. i had a lower cal than usual lean cuisine so also had a scoop of what the kids had at lunch (i work with prek kids)
this is so motivating and i cant believe i lurked for so long. i see this really helping me
so thanks and best of luck to all of you great ladies for yet another binge free day!
Day 2 for me :-) I made the mistake of drinking a slimfast this morning for breakfast after having a really great work out. My stomach was growling literally every hour. Had to eat an orange, banana, and small bag of peanuts throughout the morning to finally feel satisfied. Overate a little for my dinner to just finish off the jello mold leftovers from Easter but it wasn't a binge. It's great to see everyone doing so well. Let's finish out the week strong! :-)
hi, just new to 3fc, and my first day, I have long been a binger and emotional eater, this week, I have been out of control with Easter ,etc, work issues etc, i will check in tomorrow, Nancy
Hello everyone, I'm on day 13. I did have peanut butter today, I got it from my mom, but there was only about 3 serving in the jar. And yes I ate it. It wasn't a binge though, it could of been if the jar was full, I'm so glad it wasn't. Knowing me, I'll gain weight anyway!
Chels-good job on Day 2--it feels good, doens't it? I think that day two is always when I notice a physical difference. Less bloated, heart calms down, etc.
skyra-nice job on Day 3!
Dusqerb-I agree, slim fast is uselss if you don't want to be hungry! keep it up!
nancy-good luck on day 1! Just think one day at a time!
fruitlady-what luck the jar wasn't full! Peanut butter is super tempting.
I've completed 3 full days of being totally in control and I have worked out 4 days now. I got up early again this am to exercise before leaving for work. With my new work schedule, I need to set a goal to do some morning workouts because when I get home in the evening, I find it hard to get it done. I'm looking forward to another good day today.
Happytobemomof2 - Great job on staying in control with the chocolate. It took lots of courage to toss the rest. You are such an inspiration
Chels - Congrats on making 2 days You are off to a great start.
Welcome bronxnancy, I hope you have a great day!
Congrats fruitlady, Skrya & duqserb for having another good day. Keep up the great work.
i so love reading aobut how strong we all were...and if we did faulter, how we picked ourselves up ironically, last night, i heard from a gentleman i have not heard from in a while... a man who is 'courting' me but knows i am have a bf. we chatted online for a few minutes and, out of the blue, he starts listing all my good qualities... amazing how this world works - right when i needed someone to help me pick myself up and dust myself off, he was there!
today i am feeling strong, confident and radiant... i conquered that easter monster and i won
nancy - welcome! how did day 1 go?
gettingfit - i plan my life around my w/o even with two young kids, my first order of business each week is to ensure my work outs are scheduled ! way to go !!!
one thing i've noticed, and appreciate, is that most of our posts do not talk about our weight - really, for me now, this is not about the number on the scale. it is about a healthy relationship with food and myself!
i do have a number in my head that i would like to see... someday... if i never get there, i will not cry about it
Great job ladies! Keep it up. Bronxnancy, you can do it, one hour at a time.
I've now went 7 days without mindless, stress induced, attacks on candy and chips. Granted, I took 3 days off work, which is the major problem. But I'm working on it.
A quick post here: I have my exam today and I'm super nervous! I so need an A on this exam. so I'm on day 19! almost to day 20. Last night the bf decided to go out with his friends and needless to say, I was the one picking him up because men don't think about drinking and how they are going to get home...so to make sure he was safe I went to get him, which he then wanted Taco Bell! So much for no fast food, he asked if I wanted anything.......drum roll please.....No! I said no! I ate my dinner earlier in the evening and I was all good. Which was amazing this morning when I had a new low on my weight. I'm glad I stayed in and studied and took care of myself, a little less sleep because of him....stupid men...but very happy and now going to study all day for my exam.
I hope you ladies are doing well and I wish you all the very best day possible! I'll try and get on later to get to you all.
Day 59! I'm so proud of myself! There has been so many stresses in my life the last few days and I'm still staying strong. That shows me I can do it, even when there are problems. That's an accomplishment.
JDonato, I hope everything went well on your test. Now I know how stressful college exams are. I still dream about when I went to the University and taking my exams!
Volleyballsis, Congrats on day 7!
Happytobemom, congrats to you for staying strong, too! I also rather not keep hearing about weight. My goal is to have better eating habits. I get too disappointed when the scale doesn't reflect my hard work!
Day 14 for me, wow 2 weeks is amazing. I never get this far. I went food shopping last night, I didn't buy any of my trigger foods.( I was really tempted) I have nothing here to binge on except a bag of marshmellows. I'm saving them, so we can toast them on the fire pit on a nice warm night.
Made it through Day 14 and now I'm on Day 15! Two weeks down feels so good!
jdonato -- good luck on your exam!! You're going to ROCK it!
Welcome Nancy...and I can't wait to hear how Day 1 went!
Happytobe...I love getting little pick-me-ups like that, always makes my day go better!
Tyla...staying strong in the face of stress is what it's all about. And if you do it one time, you know you can do it again and again!
fruitlady...good job not buying any binge foods! And you won't binge on those marshmallows because then you'll know you have nothing to roast!
Today is going to be a long day, but I'm determined to make it through! I have a friend visiting tonight that I haven't seen since I lost all my weight (he's seen pictures though, so it's not a surprise), but he was a friend that always supported my fast food habit. Luckily, he's just staying the night, so there will be NO FOOD RUNS.
Day 53 and finally feeling back to myself. Easter's indulgence really caused me to struggle for a few days. I'll do things differently next time I plan to splurge and see if I have better results afterward. Anyway, glad I didn't let the binge-monster get me!
This thread keeps getting better and better.
Welcome Nancy!
Tyla-Amazing!
Happytobe-Your posts make me smile.
JDonato-You get an A+++ from me! Way to go at Taco Bell!
Foxxy- Maybe you'll be an inspiration to your friend!
