Thanks for the encouragement everyone! It really does help. I have feelings of guilt over my uncontrolled eating last night, but I'm trying to talk myself out of them, haha...I'm not sure it's working. I don't feel as awful as I do when I have an all-out binge though, so I think that's a good thing. The problem was I was actually hungry, and I really wanted some Raisin Bran but I didn't want to go over my points. But, I ended up doing that anyway, so I should have just had a controlled portion of cereal, tracked it and gone on with my life. I'm making a commitment right now to do that next time! Rather than restrict myself when I'm hungry (which inevitably leads to over-eating!) I'm going to give myself food. What's so wrong with feeding myself when I'm hungry? Today is Day 20 though! Onward and upward!

D and Fruitlady...good job controlling those urges! D, I totally should have done what you did! You're an inspiration and a great example!

Tyla...congrats on Day 64! That's awesome!

Paris, sorry to hear about the headache, but way to look on the bright side, haha. I hope you feel better! Congrats on Day 31!

GettinFit...isn't it great when it's starts getting easier? I just wish it would stay that way!

Have a great day everyone!

Hi everyone....jumping on the wagon here. Today is Day 1 for me.

I will eat on plan today.
I will avoid the kitchen after dark.....i work second shift so late night binging kills me.
I will get some form of activity in too.

Great job everyone!

i have noticed a trend here... this week (and even last, maybe because of easter?!?!?!) we all seem to be over calories but very very few of us have binged!!!

i had a job interview today (for a job i dont 'need' but 'want') and it didnt go so well... i nearly stopped at Tim Horton's (donuts) on the way home...instead i came home and did an 8km run !!!! and killed it!!!!!! i was going to run today at 3pm but decided i'd better get it over with and kill the urge to binge! now i am going to sit down to a healthy lunch and then tile my backsplash!

keep up allllll these positive attitudes!!!!

Great job happytobe! I know the Tim Hortons donut binge all too well. Those darn chocolate glazed donuts! Congrats on killing the binge urge.

thanks lata! last binge i had was on tim hortons, 6 donuts all to myself on the drive to my parents house for a full christmas dinner!!! i actually threw the box out the window so they didnt know :( that was over 100 days ago adn i still remember the feeling of 'yuck' and i will NOT go back!!!

Hi all,

Well done with all your efforts! :) I haven't binged since Sunday, been keeping myself motivated with lots of swimming and I feel really good. I had a slightly weak moment last night when I opened some dark chocolate, but in the end I stopped myself from eating more than 4 squares, yay! Was even happier when I looked at the packet to check the calorie count (which I never ever did before) and noticed that those 4 squares were the recommended portion size. So I ate chocolate like a normal person, woohoo! Made me feel muuuuch better about myself :)

Day 19 for me, doing good so far, I'm right on plan. But I am really tempted to eat, even though I'm not even hungry. I hate when that happens!!

fruitlady, I'm sending you willpower dust and best wishes! :dust::dust::dust:

Tyla

Thanks Tyla!! I made it!

day 8!!!!!! :) and a very good one at that! trying not to think about my birthday weekend yet, haha

Day 13 here! Woot! almost 2 weeks

58

Completed day 9 and working on day 10 :broc: All is going well for me now. I'm getting in my exercise and doing all that I need to do to lose weight. Yesterday was my rest day from the FIRM but I did a 3.5 mile walk. Got up this morning and did my FIRM rotation before heading in to work. I may still do a walk today too.

Have a great day everyone and stay strong!!!

Working on Day 9!

Happytobe, my last couple of binges consisted of half a dozen of Tim's donuts and then more junk food piled on top of that. I hope never to do that again and that the next time I buy half dozen, it's actually to share with other people. Thank goodness Krispy Kreme isn't around here, otherwise I would go insane.

Congrats to everyone, whether it's Day 1 or Day 100.
