54 days binge free
Scale finally moved a little. I'll take half a pound. Paris - 104 - so impressive. Daughter - Congrats on one full week! MyMichelle - sounds like you're all set for a terrific binge free day
despite indulging in ice cream yesterday, it was 100% NOT a binge so 11 days under my belt... here is where it gets harder for me...it seems i have broken down around this point the last few times... not quite making it past 14 days soooo.....
earning day 12 today... feeling pretty strong about it... will have to watch myself after dinner as i dont have anything planned to do with the kids which normally leads to issues so i am thinking "water park" if it is nice out... and when they go to bed i will hide in the basement again with my new chin up bar calling to me... watch from tv adn then try to sleep (my new job is obviously bothering me mroe than i am admitting as i am having wicked-weird dreams about it which are making my nights restless...)
have to say that i love my collar bone and am happy to see it coming back even if the scale is not moving much, the bloating and excess water seem to be moving so i'll take that! looking forward to a run at lunchtime too!
I'm starting out day 9. It's been a long time since I've gone this long with out binging or doing any emotional eating at all- it feels so good. My scale went up a little bit again today though which is kind of annoying. I think I might stop weighing myself every day.
It's so great that everyone's doing so well! Good luck everyone!
Sorry I haven't been here for a few days, but my hubby and I went on a mini vacation. We stayed at this really nice hotel, which offered a two for one fabulous breakfast buffet. They had all of my favorite breakfast items and mouth-watering desserts. OMG, when we first walked into the restaurant and saw all of that delicious food, I felt that little twinge of giddiness and euphoric feeling you get when you are excited. Then in my mind's eye I saw myself eating all of this stuff while feeling super guilty, then feeling feeling super bad physically, emotionally and mentally afterwards. I also felt the pain of ruining my 200+ day record. I was mortified by all of it. I said to my husband, "let's get out of here." We both rushed out of the restaurant, and I immediately felt 100 percent better. There was a sense of relief. I was so happy that I didn't give in to my old ways.
The reward I got when I got home was that I lost 2 more ounces! It may not seem like much, but it's like gold to me. Thank God for giving me strength to do the right thing. I definitely would have GAINED weight if I gave into my stupidity. Wow, what an experience! Other than that, we had a great time.
2 days binge free starting third, feeling good just a bit tired//
it's funny how after your binge you feel so sick and swear you will never do that again, then as soon as your feeling better and faced with something delicious you are immediately triggered. Tyla thats awesome you resisted the food, thinking of how bad you will feel after the binge is a really good idea, I will try this.
Maryjane well done on 54 days// Michelle 31.6 pounds, your over halfway girl, keep it up. Tyla day 105, that great. and Happymum it's good to hear your feeling good about your body, remember that movie 'The English Patient', his favorite part of her was the collarbone too.
Everyone have a successful day!
