You all are so strong. It is so helpful to read about all your successes and strength. Have a great Friday!

good morning ladies!!!

it seems like we all fought and won yesterday! woo hooo!!!

today is day 78 for me... and it is going to be crazy busy so hopefully no chance at a binge but i need to be careful to eat and not get too hungry or else i will find a way to binge (plus i am alone this weekend as my boys are at their dad's house) so... i will vow to stay strong! besides, i have my 2yr anniversary weigh in tomorrow and the last thing i want to do is blow that! or eat/binge a ton afterwards either! strong strong stronger!!!

its friday!!!! lets all get to the point where that is a good thing and not a scary "what am i doing to do to myself this weekend" kinda thing!!!

Good Morning Girls!!!! :D

Today is Day 18 and it feels great! I have made it all the way up to this weekend with no candy and I am feeling strong and confident coming into the weekend! Not one piece of candy for me. Not one! I am ready for it!

Make today count everyone.

Day 6 for me and I'm feeling strong strong strong! Tomorrow is going to be the real challenge (halloween party, alcohol, etc..), but I can only focus on today right now and the better I am today the easier tomorrow will be, right? Well, at least that's what I'm telling myself...

I want to echo everyone else - I am so grateful for this thread and for you guys! Inspiration, motivation, and accountability... I couldn't do this without 3fc!

Day 263! :carrot: :carrot:

Last night was a hard one for me. Then I started asking myself questions. Why are you having a problem? Why do you want to start picking on stuff, which you know will eventually lead to a disaster? You're so close to 9 months binge-free and not overeating. After questioning why this was happening, I finally figured it out. I've been stressed with a situation going on in my life since March and it hasn't been resolved yet. So I got up from the couch, which I didn't feel like doing, and got out of the house to distract myself. Today I feel so much better with a whole new perspective on things. I have faith that it will all eventually get straightened out. And I get to say that I'm on Day 263... just 7 days shy of 9 months binge-free. :D

We can do this!

Tyla :dust:

tyla - THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!! I cannot express how amazing that is!!! what you did... inspirational!!! truly!!! soooo proud of you!!!!

WOW! Way to go everyone!!! Such great stories - we are not perfect, but so many of us are making good choices day in & day out. Bravo!!

Today is day 5 for me, and I'm looking at a scary weekend. DH is gone for the next 2 nights effectively (home likely aroud midnight or later on Saturday), which means (a) homebound after kids are in bed and (b) no one to monitor me...it is ALL me.

I'm stayin busy today. It's not been great (attack of the M&Ms at my mom's house earlier), but I'm OK. I will make time for a good workout before heading back to my parents to bring dinner over & get my kids. Working out always seems to help me manage the binge urge a little better.

Wish me luck. There is a LOT of cr@p in my house for halloween. I was hoping DH would have just kept it all hidden a little longer; thankfully, it is all still boxed/wrapped up so it would be totally obvious if I obliterated an entire box of something.

Sad, but I guess that's what it takes for me. The knowledge of someone else knowing exactly how bad my binges are keeps me on the straight & narrow! Ha!

Have a great weekend, 3FC friends! I'm hoping to post about a successful evening tomorrow. Heading into 1 full week of being binge-free. We can do it!

You guys motivate me sooo much! Thanks for sharing all of your struggles ad successes!!

So I'm doing something new: I'm counting binging and overeating as one. Because of this, I'm officially almost done with Day 2 of no binging or overeating! YAY!

I know we can make it through this weekend. I've already said no to sooo much candy. I'm going to be out of the house all day tomorrow and then we're going out tomorrow night so everythingggg will need to be planned. I need to make sure I don't save too much room for alcohol because I don't want a reason to drink too much and have my judgment clouded!!

Stay strong everyone!

I think it's day 9. The more the days rack up the stronger I feel. I am feeling a change, I know I am eating clean and working out well so the scales will show the results soon enough.

Tonight I had dinner out previously I would have been anxious about it but I made a good choice cod with chickpea stew.

2 things of interest happened, my friends were like "go on gave a drink" but I said no , same with the desert. It's almost like a sutle pressure but it only made me feel stronger. I don't want to drink etc but I want to feel magnificent.

2. I did eat the little chocolate that came with my coffee and I tried a small taste of my friends cheesecake. It was ok but not something I then desired. It's like it had no mystique anymore.

So, there the story of day 9. I agree with dome previous posts that I want to link binge eating with overseeing because for me they are both unsatisfactory relationships with food for me.

Keep going everyone. Be proud of every achievement, no matter how big or small.

Day 10, did good!

jkinboston-that's a great idea! binging & over eating are almost the same I think, with binging, you just eat a lot more food, and it's worse for your health. Right? I'm going to do the same.

Did not binge today but still don't feel I can count it as a "day" but better than I have been doing. Tomorrow hopefully even better than today. I have been thinking of some meal ideas and plans.

Have a great Saturday!

HAPPY, thank you!! Thank you so much for the compliment. It means a lot to me!! :hug:

And thank you all for all your nice words and compliments. I know that we are seriously helping each other. When we see we each one of us overcoming these daily struggles, its inspiring and motivating to the rest of us. Let's keep working at staying strong together! We can win this battle!! :hug:

Congrats on all your hard work, everyone! We can all make it through Halloween! No problem! :haphal: :witch: :bat:

I'm feeling really good about today and this weekend. I know I can do it. I just have to take it one step at a time and not get overwhelmed. I'm glad everyone else seems to be doing well!!! I hope everyone has a great Saturday!! I love coming here and reading about the struggles and how you guys overcome them, it means a lot to me to be able to read everyone's guarded and private thoughts and feelings that feel like my own! :)

Today is Day 3 of no binging and overeating! Woohoo!

Day 83, and I'm planning on having a good weekend. It has been an extra mental burden having candy in the house all week, I am very much looking forward to having it be gone come Monday morning!

264! :carrot:
