  • I'm finishing day 16! I feel so much better. During those 16days I had breakfast, lunch or dinner at friends' of mine for a couple of times and I am so proud that I didn't binge after coming home that day. I used to do that... pretend like I didn't have dinner yet, have a complete dinner again, than freak out.
  • Tater, I think you did great! You went to class, exercised and didn't overeat. Kudos to you!

    Hope you stay strong!

    Dogmom, Happy Anniversary!

    Lizaly, congrats on day 16!

  • dogmom, I do that all the time! I eat out and figure I already blew it, so I just eat the rest of the day even when I'm stuffed.

    This is day 1 for me, I really binged the past two days and gained 4 lbs. It's so depressing, now I'm finding it hard to get into the swing of things again. I just want to keep eating whatever I want and I know I can't do that and continue to maintain my weight. I made it through the day, I just have to take one day at a time right now, til I get back on track. This isn't the first time, so I know it will take me a couple days.
  • well i finally am able to calm down. we just got a nintendo wii and i tryed playin the boxing game and wow it works you out like your really boxing! sept without the bruises and the pain hahai was so sore today from playing. tomorrow i finally get a day off! but my moms coming in town so i gotta clean up and wash some clothes then take her around town, but its nice to see her cause i dont see her that much anymore since i moved here to new mexico,
    Dogmom Happy anniversary! congrats on the mind set also!!

    fruitlady you can do it stay strong!!
  • Hi,
    I'd like to join the thread also. I have been a binge eater it seems like forever. It's great to have somewhere to share. April 19th I started eating healthier. I have binged of course but this is the longest time that I have not given up. I binged for about 5 days over a very stressful work situation but now that seems to have calmed down and today I ate much healthier and cannot say that I binged. It feels good to say that. There is a "light heartedness" I feel when i don't binge. I think it feels good to take care of myself in that way. I also went for a walk this evening and that felt good.

    Thanks for listening. Have a wonderful Thursday!
  • 15 days. I'm doing the Belly fat cure and it helps that i'm finding myself full and no longer craving anything.
  • Today is day 4
  • starting day 65!
  • Day 11 (just counted) I haven't been getting enough sleep which is leaving me grumpy and moody. Last night I was excited about going to bed and getting 7 hours (was so exhausted) but couldn't sleep - SO was at band practice and it had been a while since I had to go to sleep by myself at the house - was a little TOO quiet (28 and still scared of the dark???!) - lay there for a while and then got up to go comfort myself with food - Had 2 cups of yogurt/fruit cereal and though I was tempted to keep eating I stopped - So wasn't a binge but it was comfort eating - Next time I would like to write instead of eating. SLEEEEEPY.
  • Day 157

    NMgirl, thank you! We are all in this together!

    Good luck to all of us today!

  • Thanks ladies for the happy annivesary wishes!

    I made it through yesterday: I wanted to eat a lot more than I did (becuase I had eaten so much the day before my body was in 'give me a lot of food' mode) but I resisted.
    I ate 1280 cal and worked out to burn 200.
    (Usually my goal is to eat less than 1700 but I have to make up for eating so much on Tuesday so the next few days I plan to be around 1200-1300).

    There is a family thing this weekend, but I think to avoid derailing my progress I may pack my own food....
  • Today is day 2 for me, it seems so much longer. There is nothing here I would want to binge on, so I'm good. This water weight from my 2 days of binging is not coming off, it is discouraging and is making want to just eat anything I want. I don't want to give up on myself, so I'm chewing gum.
  • Day 41!! I feel much better today. I was kind of in that "I'm so mad I cant eat whatever I want mood" this morning, and I went to the mall between class and work to find a new summer dress for this weekend and not looking how I want got me discouraged and made me mad at the food court (I don't remember the last time I ever ate at a food court!!). However, I did find 3 new dresses and a top that I liked on me even though I wasn't feeling too hot, so thats a plus.

    I usually don't eat lunch before or at work, because I work 1230-530 and its too early to have lunch before and I dont usually take a break because I'm only there a 5 hours. But today I stopped at made myself a salad with plenty of broccoli and some tofu, brought it into my back file room and just ate it slowly while I did some work. AND what do you know?! It kept me satisfied even after I got off! Ha...

    Congrats Tyla, Paris, and Foxxy for all the days under your belt, cant wait to be up there with you! I'm only weeeeeks behind

    OH and one other thing about today.. that "I want to eat whatever I want mood" went away instantly when I saw a bumper sticker that read "EAT WELL, FEEL WELL"

    I feel pretty good this evening and I hope you do too!!!

    Good luck with the rest of your days ladies
  • Tater tash--You're doing great! congrats on day 41!

    tyla--wow! 157!

    I'm starting day 66--yesterday not a day of great healthy choices, but I'm happy to say that I didn't binge, even though I really, really, really wanted to. I still really want to. This is getting so hard, I hope this extra strong urge I'm having this week will go away soon!
