Day 4 but I'm worried b/c it's been a stressful day, week, and today is pizza night.
I always say I'm going to be moderate but then I have a TON of pizza.
On the other hand, if i say no to pizza night, the binge just gets delayed b/c I am depriving myself....

Haven't binged since Sunday so I guess this is Day 5 for me - was sitting here wanting to eat trying to figure out why I wanted to eat and I think I'm just feeling anxious about work and something that's not getting done but that I'm not really responsible for - bugs me when something is left hanging like that.

Tyla - What tips do you have for resisting when you want to eat?

dogmomnp - what I would do is take whatever # of slices of pizza you THINK you should eat (an appropriate amount) - an amount that leaves you satisfied, and no longer hungry. Put that on your plate. Have a piece of gum on hand , and as soon as you've finished the pizza on your plate pop that gum into your mouth. Even if you end up eating an hour or so later because you're hungry, at least you staved off the binge from the pizza. Good luck!!!

THANK YOU TYLA!!

I DID IT! one week down! I snacked on some chesters flamin hot fries though i know its not a healthy choice but it got that binging feeling away i actually stopped eating them when i got the satisfied feeling

Day 4 done! I had no urge to binge today, I don't really know why, but I'm glad.

thank you foxxy511 and tyla for your support. I didn't go shopping last night, because I knew I would buy a ton of junk and then binge. Now I'm out of milk and yogurt. I'm going to leave for the store now, so that I have milk for my coffee. And I'm on day 12 today. I haven't gone so long in quite a while.

Foxxy and tyla--you amaze me! I'm so glad you're still coming to the forum, because you're success is very inspiring!

Good job lizaly on knowing when you can't face the store! That's always a struggle for me.

Starting day 61 this morning!

Day 36! I'm with the boyfriend this weekend, so it's important to feel great so I can enjoy this time! And there is NO WAY that I can over eat/binge in front of him.. or anyone for that matter.

Good luck today/this weekend everyone! and Congrats!!

UGH to late to speak i binged today, i had wendys this morning and then binged on brownies.. so tomorrow since i have off im going to do the whole 5 mile leslie sansone walk at home video then do some extra work out.. but i wont be gettin off till 10 pm.. so see you all tomorrow

Day 5 for me, I think I have an addiction to Fat Free Reddi Whip, I ate 2 cans of it after breakfast. 400 calories! I usually have to have 1 can a day, I put it on all my fruit, it helps me from wanting to binge on other foods that are worse in calories and fat, doesn't seem to hurt my weight either.

Finishing Day 1(again). I brushed my teeth, flossed, did mouthwash, and I'm about read to take my Ambien and get to bed.

Hey all,

I feel like I'm really teetering (sp?) on the edge today. I've been doing well, but the urge has gotten stronger and stronger. I've been able to fight it because, as I've mentioned, I've been doing online dating. Knowing that I have to meet men in person helps me fight the urge as I don't want to go out with them knowing that I did something as shameful as bingeing.

Today I'm meeting another guy, but after him, I have no other prospects, no other conversations going on, and this is the first time that's happened since I signed up for the website about 1.5 months ago. So I'm really scared that with no other prospects and no plans or even thoughts that I'll be meeting someone soon, I'll be weaker and more likely to totally fall off the horse!

I know how hard it is to get back on, day 1 is the worst, and I just don't want to have to deal with that. I'm feeling paniky and scared, and I also just feel like giving up--like, I'll feel this way forever, this is my personality, it's who I am, and it takes too much strength to fight it!

Sorry for being so depressing, but I could really use the support of you ladies, you always make me feel better!

I am starting day 62 this morning, so that's at least a positive!

Paris -- I'm so sorry you're struggling! But look at you! You've gone 61 days binge free and that is an amazing accomplishment!! Can you find some other future event that can provide some accountability for you? A friend or family get together? I have a week of social situations lined up that involve me not being able to plan when or what I'll be eating. I'm trying to focus on taking them one at a time but I'm also keeping in mind a get-together I'm going to in August with some old school friends. But I can also relate to your feelings of just wanting to give up because I think binging is just "who I am." I feel like I could do it at any time, sure the urge can be tiny or it can be huge, but the fact is, I feel like it's always there. That makes me a little sad because I wish I could say, "I don't want to binge!" and mean it. But it's not the truth. I DO want to binge, I'm just choosing NOT to binge. I don't know if that helps or not, but I hope your date goes well and that you're feeling better soon!!

After today, I'll be 7 weeks binge free...one day away from 50 days!!!!

well i didnt do to good this saturday and i ate a big breakfast.. and i feel horrible and unattractive so.. we are going out to the mountains today to go hiking and take the dog out so it should be a nice work out to build confidence!!

Day 37! Having a great weekend - don't want to go home and start another school/work week!

Good luck today and congrats everyone! Stay positive nmgirl!
