I never thought about using this to deal with my problem. If you look at my blog you might see that I'm on my own little journey now. I lost all my weight a couple of years ago and have successfully stayed the same since. which would be good apart from that one binge a week that still makes me feel like the girl i used to be. its sad really. i dont know why i do it, i know it must be something to do with the past cause if im honest there's nothing in my life to trigger it as such now, im perfectly happy...until im alone and had a bad day and feel rubbish about myself and all those old feelings come rushing back. its soooo frustrating, i exercise a ridiculous amount cause of my course and have a normal healthy diet with treats etc to try and stop from failing but as always i took my little trip to the supermarket and im back to square one. does anyone have any tips etc?
lizaly - thanks for asking! NO i am still carrying 10lbs of water weight (well probably 7lbs water and 3 lbs binge weight!!! ahhhhh) the docs still have no idea...the water pill did nothing to help so i suffer... hopefully on monday the ob can find the IUD via ultrasound and remove...if not, it is coming out on 18 june.
i have recommitted myself to be binge free... this 'speedbump' is not going to set me back!! i can do this... just because my body is 10lbs heavier does not mean my mind needs to be!
I made it to day 117! That's amazing after my little let down yesterday and the last few weeks at the scale. I had to really remind myself that if I started eating now, I would just pack on more lbs. For me it's so easy to gain, so hard to lose.
Happytobe, Thank you for your encouraging words. It really means a lot to me that you know what I'm going through. I really needed to hear those supportive words. You're the best! And I'm so glad you're back!!
Lizaly, I'm so happy you stayed strong. Congrats to you!
YW tyla - no offence... i kinda wish i wasnt back here... on the positive side... knowing you are all 'rooting' for me and supporting me is really encouraging!!! i am just about to sit down and plan my food for the week... and i WILL stick to plan!!! lets do this!
This is my first post in over a year. I was doing so well up until a couple months ago when I noticed I started to binge again every few weeks. I thought I could keep it under control, but something happened (no idea what it was) and I've started binging at LEAST once a week.
My last binge was maybe a week ago, but I definitely over ate the past couple days and I didn't make smart choices.
So, here I am - Day 1. I hope I never have to see that number again.`
tater tash- Good luck to you, I'm the same way. I started binging last summer after I lost all the weight. It wasn't an emotional thing, my weight was going too low and it was the only way I knew to gain a few lbs. Well, it has turned into a once a week habit for the past year that I can't stop or control, but I tend to lose the weight I gain from it in about 4 or 5 days, so I am maintaining. I would just like to maintain in a normal way, I just haven't figured out how many calories I need to eat everyday to maintain.
So, right now my goal now is not to lose weight, but to get back in control and 'get rid' of my obsessive eating disorder. As you can see above, today is day 1. I came home to my parents for a BBQ and I did just fine eating the apps and dinner. I'm an avid baker and I'm sooo good at not eating what I bake. So, today my parents asked I make my signature low-fat cheesecake. I meant to have only a small sliver with a plate of fruit, but instead a had 1/8 slice. Since this was more than I intended to have and I'm pretty full, does that put me off plan? Do I begin "Day 1" again tomorrow or am I able to move onto day 2?
:/
i dont know if i should go on with the day 6 tomorrow... i had blakes lota buger today a bacon burrito, than i had some ham and mash taters and gravy and some corn, then i had a lunchable and a carton of chocolate milk i kinda feel like i ate to much but i dont know.. i did just started.. the lovely monthly curse after 5 months of missing it and im still sick also ugh! i just feel like crap today... should i go on with day 6 or just start over? does that sound like alot of food?
Day 1.
And I feel horribly bloated. I feel like I can't focus on my eating, because I have to focus on studying. But I can't focus on studying when I feel guilty for overeating.
lizaly -is it possible for you to take an hour and write out a food plan for every day this week so you dont have to 'worry' about it during your study time... you just eat what is on the plan at the time on the plan and it isnt something you need to focus on??? that is what 'worked' for me in the beginning and i am hoping will help me again this time!
That's amazing after my little let down yesterday and the last few weeks at the scale. I had to really remind myself that if I started eating now, I would just pack on more lbs. For me it's so easy to gain, so hard to lose. 
And I'm so glad you're back!!
