Binge-free challenge ~ Apr. 12 - 18
 

Hi everyone!! Welcome to the binge free challenge!! You can come in here and post your weekly successes and struggles and keep track of your binge free days. You can also vent about anything and everything you feel like getting out. We are here to share our feelings and to encourage and inspire each other. No negativity! We are strong chicks and I KNOW we all can do this!! And we don't have to do it alone, we have each other to get us through the rough times.

ALL chicks are welcome -- no one is excluded! If you are trying to lose weight, not trying, maintaining, recovering from an eating disorder, in the midst of one, or have ANY kind of problem with food, we would love to have you join us!!

Let's have an awesome week!! :D

Hi Ward,
I am new here at the boards. Today is day 2 of eating sanely and trying to move my body a bit. I have almost 90 pounds to lose. I so want to be free of binge eating. It's like slow suicide. I want to do this but I'm scared I won't follow through. I have allowed my life to get out of control. I want my self respect back.

I'm hanging in there today with all of you.

I hope to be able to come back later and say that I completed day 1. Things have not been going well lately in the binge department. :sigh:

I am on Day 8. It's gonna be a busy, busy day -- here's to making it!

Day 4.

rea--welcome! You're not alone here, we all totally understand what it is to fight binging. I'm glad you found the forum. good luck!

Wardhog--Good luck with Day 1!! Thanks for always starting the thread!

Skyra--nice Day 8! Over a full week, that's gotta feel good! Keep it up!

I made it through Sunday to Day 30! Woohoo! Very happy, exciting, feeling good. And feeling physically good too, because I haven't binged in so long--it makes such a difference! Why do we do something that makes us feel like crap all around? I just don't get it!

Good Morning Everyone,

Welcome rea - Just take it one minute at a time and believe that you can do this. You can succeed.

Paris - I often ask myself the same thing, why do I go on these crazy binges when I know it makes me feel awful physically and mentally.

Wardhog - Stay strong and you will make it through day 1.

Congrats to all who made it through another day! Yesterday completed day 7for me and so far it's going good on day 8. This week I started a FIRM rotation challenge exercise thread and if there are any FIRMies who'd like to join in feel free to do so. I'm looking forward to seeing the difference in my body at the end of the 28 days. I took my before pic and will compare to the after pic.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Ward --thanks for starting the new thread...and you can make it through Day 1!

Rea -- WELCOME! You can always post here for support...this board is awesome!

Skyra and GettinFit -- Congrats on Day 7! A whole week binge-free is great!

Paris -- YAY! Day 30! I can't wait to reach a month binge-free...you are doing fabulous! And it is strange that we engage in a behavior that maybe results in 10 seconds of pleasure but hours of physical and emotional pain. Funny how the mind works...

Bunneh -- Good luck on Day 4!

I'm on Day 19! Had the munchies again last night. I think it's so funny how I can have no desire to snack from the time I get up until after dinner. But as soon as I eat dinner, all I want to do after that is keep eating! Why is that!? I try to plan more snacks in the evening to accommodate this. I'm looking forward to an excellent, binge-free week though! I go to Florida in about three weeks (!!) and I want to look fabulous in my bathing suit and bar-hopping clothes, lol.

Working on Day 35.

Hi all!!! I am committing to being on plan this week... I have not binged in 106 days now.. I would like to loose about another 15 lbs (my trainer would like to see 25lbs...) over the next year or so... so i would like to stay on plan and stop the 'snacking' ... otherwise i am very proud of my progress and am excited to help you ladies get another day 'under your shrinking belts!'

It is amazing how accountability has helped me!!!! and all your quotes and support and knowing i am one of many and not alone!!!

thank you!!!!!!!!!

My goal last week was to say today: I MADE IT TO DAY 63!
In spite of a super hard week, I made it to Day 63!!!!! :D :D :D

To everyone else, who is remaining strong, congrats to you!

Special shout out to:

Paris, congrats on day 30

Mamasita, Congrats on Day 35

Happytobe, 106 days!! :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

Day 2 for me. Have not posted here for ages....here is to taking the first step!

I'm also working on Day 7! The next two weeks are going to be challenging with school exams coming up.

Hi all!

Day 1 for me! had a good day with a 1km swim before work, which really helped me start off on the right foot. But it's still early evening here and just before bed is my weakest hour, so I thought posting here would be a good idea :)

Well done to everyone who's in the same situation - you can do it!!
