Thanks Tyla, very much. There were just times when I would think "I really shouldn't be eating this." So, it was more of a weekend very off plan and I ate when I wasn't hungry for the sake of eating tasty food. But, you're right I didn't have a binge - just too much mindless eating - and this challenge is about being binge-free. So, if I shouldn't start back at day 1, then I'm going on day 32.
Lesson learned. I have 3 weeks til my run. Without drinking I should be feeling good again by then, or hopefully sooner before.
Thanks again. I really need the support and I appreciate the harshness of it.
I'm in but taking it one step further - No emotional eating for me. Eat till I'm satisfied and if I still want to eat, figure out what I'm REALLY hungry for.
This is going to be hard because my mom is coming to town and as a family we eat... we're going to visit my grandparents and, again, as a family we eat. I think I've noticed that sweets are my trigger - and once I start I can't stop. So going to try no sweets (maybe just fruit for dessert) and see if that helps.
Does anyone here abstain completely from sweets? If so do you count fruit in that?
day 1 after a really bad few weeks. Loads of assessments, bad family news and my boyfriend and I decided to spend a few weeks apart and to be fair i went into slight meltdown and just spent the past few weeks comfort eating. However everything is starting to sort itself out so I'm ready to start my challenge again and hoping to get past at least 3 weeks!!!
Day 2 - No binging/emotional eating - wanted my yogurt/blueberries last night for dessert but wasn't hungry so I abstained Having it for breakfast now instead. Got on the scale this AM and wasn't happy but know it's partly water weight hanging on after a hefty 4th of July binge.
Day 58--it just makes me SO angry that I can't just stuff my face!!!! It's so stupid, I don't understand why most people don't to deal with these horrible feelings about food.
Day 33. Feeling better today -School has been stressing me out a lot in just the last 2 days. I've lost 9 lbs of water weight and got myself to go on a 3 mile run this morning, so it's nice the start the day off that way.
I am on day 2.
I was horrible this past weekend. I had planned on eating badly only the night of July 2, but it turned into bad eating most of the weekend (eating out) with some binging mixed in.
July 3 it dawned on me (I can be such a procrastinator / in denial) that we leave on our cruise in 2 months.
Not nearly enough time to get me in bathing suit shape......UGH!!!!
I need to try to just tell myself it's OK, I don't have to be in perfect shape....just better shape....
sarahslacker- yes, I eat fruit all the time, it really helps the sugar cravings. I don't eat fruit after 3pm. cause of the carbs, I chew really strong minty gum, it helps.
I'm on day 2, my daughter wanted light cookies and cream ice cream, it's so hard not going in that freezer right now and eating it. I've been wanting to binge for the past 2 days, I know I can't do it again. Chewing gum came to the rescue for now!
Finished day 5!! wow.. i almost failed today but im suprised... my body didnt want it.. ive been working so much and stayin busy i guess i made my stomach shrink a little to where i wont wanna eat so much.. i went to eat some cheetos after my dinner and i just couldnt.. my stomach didnt want it so i stuck a piece of gum in my mouth and thats doing me good.. all i gotta do is get in the habit of drinking water and waking up a little earlier to work out well good luck everyone and congrats to everyone!!
