tater tash- thanks! Good luck to you, I know you can do it!
I'm almost done w/ day 9. I worked today, so I was not binging. Really tempted to now that I'm home alone. I'm keeping gum in my mouth all night, but really craving peanut butter and ice cream, even though I'm not hungry at all.
Feeling much better today. I did what I said and have been eating very well and didn't have a drink last night. I didn't even have to say no, I wasn't in the mood for anything.
I hope everyone has had not only a successful weekend, but a fun, beautiful one as well!
I made it through another weekend!!!! I am officially working on Day 10 today!! It feels amazing!
Today was also weigh in for me....I am down 8 lbs!! So Excited. I know some of it is water because it's the beginning and I was dealing with TOM last week but it still feels great to see a smaller number on the scale!!
Day 66! Started my TOM and gave into some chocolate covered pretzels last night, but my boyfriend helped me stop myself before I wrecked myself. he just put them away without thinking about it, but good thing. Hopefully today is better.
Departing on my cruise tomorrow!
earning day 6...wicked hungry today... guess that is a carry over from my wonky food last week (being in and out of the hospital and sleeping way more than normal meant my meals were off schedule and missed several times)... all that to day that today is a struggle so far. it is only 2pm and i could eat a horse already... snack is at 3 so i can be ready for my trainer at 5 and then 'dinner' after my trainer at 6:30ish... and hopefully get to bed without binging... wait...that is a bad way of putting it...why did i say 'hopefully' ? it is up to me right???
i hope you ladies find the strength to make it another day... i keep remembering 5 whole months... i can look back now and see that things were creeping up on me and i didnt realise it... like extra gum use, empty calories (like ff/sf pudding) etc... until i finally imploded... so this time i will be more aware of the sweet cravings...
what i am finding hard right now is that my new bf does occasionally bring treats over...the nice thing is that he realises they are treats, they are for the kids and that he now takes them home with him if there are leftovers so i am not tempted to eat them all when he leaves... and as long as it is only like once a week or less, there is no harm in 200 or less "empty" calories right? it might even keep me from eating more ... it is hard though... a real struggle to not eat more, not sneek them, not keep them, etc etc... i will discuss all this with him tonight if we have time...
wow, that was a long update... i will be here tomorrow saying i made it through
Day 182! Wow, I made it over the 6 month mark! I'm impressed with myself.LOL (Of course, I'm joking.) When I started this journey, I didn't know if I could get day 1 under control.
Thanks to TATER TASH, GETTINFIT, DARRA, HAPPYTOBE & VIXSIN. Your encouragement and support means a lot to me.
VIXSIN, congrats on your 8 lb. loss!! Awesome and amazing! Keep up the great work!
Wishing us tons of will power to make it through today and through the week. We can do this together.
Today is day 39 for me. I have set a mini goal for the rest of the summer. Weight loss has kinda slowed so I'm hoping for 5 pounds in the next 3 weeks.
Congrats to Tyla and everyone else who is living this way of life. I am so proud of all of us
Is this challenge still going? I noticed the title says 8/2-8/8 but people are still posting. Anyway I would love to join I am on day 2 of being binge free, yesterday was very good. It became a little tough towards the end of the evening as hubby and I watched TV but I stay focused and got through it.
