Binge Free Challenge 8/30/10 - 9/5/10
 

I hope no one minds that I started our new thread for this week! :)

Welcome to the binge-free challenge!! You can come in here and post your weekly successes and struggles and keep track of your binge-free days. You can also vent about anything and everything you feel like getting out. We are here to share our feelings and to encourage and inspire each other. No negativity! We are strong chicks and I KNOW we all can do this!! And we don't have to do it alone, we have each other to get us through the rough times.

ALL chicks are welcome -- no one is excluded! If you are trying to lose weight, not trying, maintaining, recovering from an eating disorder, in the midst of one, or have ANY kind of problem with food, we would love to have you join us!!

Day 17 for me!
 

Good morning all!! :wave:

So excited that I made it to Day 14 and beyond! Had a wonderful long weekend with my best boy Maxwell. We did all kinds of fun things all weekend long. It was great.

I hope all of you have friendly scales and great binge free days today!!!

Love you guys!! :grouphug:

I'm day three and feel pretty good

i'm earning day 18 !!!

i am very excited that the scale finally went down today instead of up!

plus i am getting closer to day 23 shopping spree!

now if i can just stop dreaming about my new job i might feel a little more 'refreshed' in the morning and dragging it less! i find being sleepy such a trigger! i even made it past bulk-barn yesterday with my kids...they purchased a couple treats each and i bought icing for my oldest upcoming bday cake (rather than make it myself... when i make it, i tend to eat a lot of it...theirs tastes worse than mine so i can resist better and no one else seems to notice the different taste so...) but i didnt buy anything there for myself!!!!!

lets keep the binge free days coming!!!

Stay strong Spirit!! :hug: You are doing a great job! Go you for making it to Day 3!!! :yay:

Nice job resisting, Mom!!! :high: I dont know if I could resist cake icing. :eek: I LOVE me some frosting!!!!!!!! :drool: ha ha ha ha

thanks vixsin! it is really hard actually... i have made hundreds of cakes over the years... one of the worst binges i ever had resulted in some very 'colorful' #2's a few hours later as food colouring isnt absorbed/destroyed by the digestive system! ever since then i try to remember that day and how scared i was about what was happening before i binge on icing again... but it is super hard...and my boy gets a party cake and then another cake on his real birthday so i am faced with the stuff twice... right now my mouth is watering just thinking about it... urg... oh well... it is for him, not me! ;)

love your 5pound trampoline dudes...very cute! huge success!!!!

Seriously, you are WAY stronger than me on that!!!! To face it once would be super challenging for me, but to do it TWICE?! :no: I'd never make it.

I'm glad you have a point of reference for your binging too. I'm sure that is key for you to succeed and feel so great about it. My last binge was sweet as well, but it was candy and whoopie pies. (:drool:) I just remember how powerless I felt and scared that I would be a victim of food forever. I am SO GLAD that we, and all of us, got out from food's hold on us!

I too love my trampo guys!!! I am so close to having a 3rd up there. I'm hoping for this week!!!

Day 203! :D :D Wow, in one week it will be 7 months binge-free! I'm amazing myself.LOL I guess I really want to get to my goal this time. ;)

Let's all make this an awesome week! I know we can do it! :dust:

Tyla

Day 2 for me. I can't remember the last time I didn't binge on a Sunday. This is a good start. My BED has been owning me lately.

Blegghhh....Day 1 today. Yesterday was definitely small on the binges(I have had some ENORMOUS ones this summer), but still a binge. And plus I ate meat :(. Ready to start fresh again though!

Oops, I already posted in old thread, but brief repeat: Day 22 here, down 3.8 this week (yee-haw).

Hope we all have a wonderful week!

so it is 9;30 at night... i just said "yes" to a snack to stay on-plan ... and am now fighting every ounce of my being to not make toast and butter and tons of it!!!!!

but i sooo want my shopping spree on saturday that i am not going to jeopardize this!!! i will breath, just breath...

funny the places i find inspiration... i am watching dexter and he is in 'rehab' trying to control urges... trying to figure out which girlfriend is the keeper....

i will come here tomorrow and say that i made it through... i'll just use a bunch of tyla's will power dust :)

I posted in the old thread, oops. Day 8 went great! I am gaining control again, just like the control I had when I was trying to lose weight, I didn't cheat on my diet once.

day 6 today. decided i need to cut out nuts as well! i'm not out of control, but i know i over-do it.
i know im going to have a good day today....must be the will power dust :)
can't wait to be one week down.
have a wonderful day

I am in!!! Day 1 binge-free.
