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!! _____________________________________ Woo Hoo !!! Earning day 88 today! feeling freakin' amazing too !! Sooo... I wonder, what changes have you noticed about yourself (aside from the scale!) that you want to share??? I have a collar bone I LOVE! I just found the bones over my shoulders where they 'connect' to each other... I smile more... I walk taller and get hit on more because I am more confident! Hope everyone's Monday is amazing! |
Good morning, happy Monday. REALLY craving candy a LOT this morning. It's been a struggle since 5am. Doesn't help that there is candy in abundance all over the office where I work. I have not caved but it's really tough right now. Not sure why. Stress? Bored? Awake?
I want to be binge free this week. Keep the faith chicks! Fighting tooth and nail in Minnesota! |
Happy Monday everyone. I was binge free for the past 5 days and I am proud of it. Now planning on being binge free for one more week.
|
@Iianae
Yeah. I know what you mean. Those cravings can be a *****. What gets me through though is that I think about all the damage that candy and junk food has caused me and ask myself if it's really worth it to let them ruin my body just for a few seconds of taste. Plus I drink lots of water and green tea..maybe you should try tea with stevia in it ;) @Goforit24 That's awesome! well done! Keep going strong. You can do it! :) Happy happy Monday everyone :D. I thought I'd join this challange as well. I have been binge free for the last 5 days and I am planning on keeping it that way for a while. I slipped up big time this summer and well...gained weight and I am now at the highest weight that I have ever been and that really scares me. Think I am up to 198 lbs. So I am going for it. Changing my diet and getting some real good exercise. I just decided, I will NOT end this year heavier than I was when I entered it. Good luck this week everyone!! :) |
Good Morning Friends!
Today is Day 28. So close to Day 30! I am really looking forward to it. I've already celebrated and bought myself a new phone. :) Make it great! |
Day 273!! :carrot: :carrot:
HAPPY, thank you for the support and encouragement for me making it 9 months binge-free! I so appreciate it! :hug: As far as a reward, I have my eye on a sweater I want. I plan on wearing it to an upcoming interview. I know it goes on sale tomorrow. I just hope it's still there. Thanks for asking about it, and making me aware that rewards are essential. :hug: You asked what changes I've noticed lately? My arms have more definition. I feel stronger and more confident. And here's a good one... My husband can now lift me. :D Good luck, everyone! :goodluck: Tyla :dust: |
Ugh. Double ugh. TRIPLE INFINITY UGH!!!:mad::mad::mad:
I binged. hard. for three days. It was the lost weekend. Things just got so fricken out of control! I was all set up to reach the two week mark for the first time ever and then BAM! the Uber binge from ****. I feel horrible. I feel dirty and tired and I don't even really know what caused it except that I had nothing to do all weekend and I was bored and frustrated and low on healthy groceries. It just feels like it came out of no where. Well, what can I do? I'm earning day one. I went to the gym this morning for the first time in a while. I'm just going to get back on the wagon. I'm going to try to not be angry with myself and to just remind myself that next weekend, after a week of on-plan eating and exercise, this weekend will seem like nothing more than a bad dream. |
tyla - if they don't have it, ask them to call another store! you've earned it (and then some!!!!)
yoyono - brilliant attitude..yesterday is gone...tomorrow never comes... today is all we have... make it count! you deserve it... you are worth it... you are beautiful, loveable and the only thing in this world that matters to you! don't beat yourself up... dust off and tell your negative-chatterbox to shut up! you can do this! we are here with you! vixsin - sooo close to a month! way to go!!!! nile - your positive attitude is infectious!!! what a great motto "I will end this year lighter than I started it!" I am on track to do the same... and I want it wicked bad! sooo close to 90 days...been a while since i could say that!!! i agreed to do another cake! duh... i kill me!!! so i will have icing in the house again this week BUT i will buy the icing premade (which is yuckier than mine) and will not have beaters to lick! besides, i am kinda 'over' it ... even this weekend, i didnt WANT any junk, so i didnt have any... i overate a bit last friday in terms of maple syrup on stuff but i was comfy with the choice and it is at least natural sugar :) monday workday is nearly over... looking forward to my workout and my kids! hugs to all! |
Day 3- Had a really hard time fighting off a craving I had all day for Nutella. I keep begging my husband to eat it all so it's not here tomorrow. I won the battle for today!
|
My last binge was 10/30 so I am on day 9 of being binge-free. I would like to continue eating clean and controlled. I think the daily check-in is a good idea. Keeps me vigilant.
8 Day 10 - I feel in control and calm. 9 Day 11 - I'm on an even keel 10 Day 12 - Steady as she goes 11 Day 13 - close but no binge - whew 12 Day 14 - okay dokey 13 Day 15 - good 14 Day 16 - still strong |
Hey.. hope it's ok if I join. I usually go to the 20 something board.
I half binged today... I bought a bunch of candy after lunch but ate pretty well the rest of the day (normally I would have let the binge ruin the rest of the night and I would SERIOUSLY fall off the wagon , ie eat an entire box of cereal, half gallon of ice cream, etc all in one night) I hope to come on here and be accountable! good luck to us! |
Welcome to Tues ladies!
Jessie - of course you are welcome here... it is great that you didnt let that candy spiral into a full huge binge! way to go girl!!! I am earning day 89. I did something very "new" for me last night... I had a couple pieces of halloween candy and just stopped... no thought about it, no "self talk", no punishment... just enjoyed the pieces and stopped... i am soooo happy that this happened! i didnt have to talk myself off a binge-ledge or anything! and this is even despite the fact that i am completely on the fence about my bf and whether i want to stay with him... normally that would send me into a spiral... today i get to teach spinning class again - what an amazing feeling! every time i teach a class i get a 'biggest loser' moment ! physically i am noticing that my ribs are starting to poke through when i am just standing (and not sucking in my absolute hardest!) even though i have a ton of excess skin... even during my work out last night i could feel the power i am developing! gotta luv bones poking out everywhere ! :) lets rock this Tues! |
Hey all. Earning day two here - cautiously optimistic. I'm aiming for one on-plan week in addition to being binge-free. I'm embarassed by the fact that I've been a 3FC member for well over a month and all I've done is lost and gained the same three lbs over and over again. It's time to get moving in one direction...
But I digress - I'm two days binge free and ready to make that 200 days! Let's all keep up the good work! |
Good Morning All,
Day 29 today! 1 more til 30!!! I am so excited about that! Got rid of that pesky gain yesterday by getting a great nights sleep! Kim: Congrats on Day 89! You're doing great! Welcome to all of our new folks! We are glad you're here! |
vixsin- WTG! you can do 1 more day!
Yoyono- no need to feel embarrassed. I have been a 3FC member for 2 years and have gained and lost the same 10 lbs since I joined. happytobeamomof2- I like how you say talk yourself down from the binge ledge. I hope to be able to consciously enjoy candy and not feel a binge coming. hoping for my first day of no bingeing and staying OP!:D |
Happy Tuesday everyone! I've made it 3 days binge-free, and not feelin' edgy at all. DH is back in town for a few days, then away Fri-Sun. I also have neighborhood ladies over to my house on Friday, which is uber-stressful for me. AND work is a b**ch. All of this typically spells out of control eating for me, but thus far, I am frankly just tired. Food won't cure that.
JessieCat - go get it! Day 1 is all yours!! Vixsin - almost a month?? WOO HOO!!! You are amazing. YoYono - good for you for putting it in the past. Guilt & shame does nothing but hinder our progress. You are worth this and deserve to be a happy, healthy person. I'm proud of you for moving forward with positivity! Happy - sooooo impressed at your self-control with the candy! WOW! And 89 days?!?!?!?! WOO HOO! Thanks for being the positive leader of this thread - can't wait to celebrate your 3 month milestone! DixC - 10 days is so awesome. Keep it up! fruitlady - way to stay strong against the Nutella. That stuff is ADDICTING! I couldn't have it in my house... Thanks to your advice, I've rebounded 100% from my craziness last Friday. Thank you, again. tyla - you continue to be an inspiration to all of us!! Way to show us how it's done!! AMAZING! |
I am with you all. That time of the month so my cravings get nuts. I was super hungry around 8pm last night and instead of eating a ton of crap like I maybe would do in that situation, I ate a Fiber One bar and piece of fruit. Still didn't need the extra calories but I think I did at least take a step in the right direction when those craving hit. Instead od chowing down on chips or something really unhealthy, I chose a slightly better option.
Still struggling today so knowing that I have to be accountable on here as well should help me make it through the week. |
Today is day 93, I can't wait to hit 100! :)
|
Today has not been good, just tucked into sweets set said for an advent calendar. Enjoyed them for a brief moment but now....feeling crap. Thinking about all my hard work over the past 20days coming unstuck.
Actually, no.... I need to step back into the zone and get empowered. Sorry had to vent, not a binge but definite over eating. It's done now, next time I will go to bed early. Great to hear everyone else, keep working it. |

cherylmn: Congrats on your 3rd day binge free. Well done. Keep going strong! Mitza24: That's so good that you made the right choice when those cravings hit. Kudos to you :) My Michelle: Congrats on day 93. AWESOME. Day 100 is not far away ;) i76: That's ok. I think we all have experienced slip ups. And you obviously have a good attitude about it too. Brush yourself off and try again ;) As for me I am earning day 6. Well, I have actually earned it since it's night here now. But this has been the hardest so far. I went to town today and when I am away from home I don't have that much control...something I really have to work on..I wanted some pepsi and other stuff sooooo bad! But I didn't do it anyway :D. I can honestly say that this is the first time in a looong time that I haven't bought any junk food while I've been in the city. Tomorrow I am travelling to the capital to do an interview for a magazine...gonna be difficult I feel..Will have to pack something healthy to bring with me. Can't wait to get home again and do some exercise again too! :) Stay strong everyone! :) |
Day 274! :carrot:
Cheryl, thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate them! And congrats to you for Day 3. Good luck to you over the weekend. I'm sending you tons of strength. :hug: Let's all continue to stay strong. Tyla :dust: |
cherlymn- I'm so glad your feeling better, keep up the good work!
Day 4 for me- going to Red Lobster for my uncles 82nd. birthday, I couldn't say no, so I went to their website and chose something from the lighthouse menu. I'm getting a half portion of Tilapia w/ Broccoli, only 230 cal. & 3 grams of fat, low sodium too. The challenge will be to stay away from those cheddar buns they serve before dinner. I love those things, I have to stay strong and not give in! |
fruitlady- good luck at Red Lobster! in college one of the frat guys worked there and would bring home a huge bag of them after his shift and hand them out at the frat parties. I think I ate like 5 in a row one time! :o
tyla- I cannot believe 274 days! You are an inspiration to me! How do you do it??? Nile- Good for you for not giving in! It feels sooo good! i76- you can do it!!! It feels good to move on My Michelle- 93! Woah How do you do it too!?!?! cherylmn- 3 days! awesome! one day at a time! Hoping to end my first day binge free! Yay!:D |
hmpf if i survive today it will be day 36 for me
nearly lost it, so much crap going on with work, the kids.. then i weigh myself and find even though i have worked my a$s off this week to not even have lost 1/2 a pound i was walking with my best friend and found out it was her birthday yesterday and i had totally forgotten, how could someone forget their best friends birthday? i offered to buy morning tea as i felt so horrible, and with that thought i was gonna buy some hot pies for lunch and then started thinking what was at home, and damn have no car today to go buy junk... etc.. thankgod it didn't go down that path so Guilt is definitely one of my triggers... gotta stay strong and keep going, letting myself go again will just make the hurt even worse and wont solve any of the real issues. |

oh... i am soooo struggling right now... after my fish dinner (which i HATE) i "helped" my kids have some chocolate i hadn't planned on... and then i had to go to bulk barn to buy supplies for this latest cake and my youngest bought a treat... so now those 250cal of peanut M&M are screaming at me from the closet... and so is the yucky icing... and bread and cheese and cereal bars and and and... i am dying to binge... and i will die binging... soooooooo close to day 90... i have to make it through tonight... urg.... damn it!!!!!!!!
|
i survived and feel great!!! it only took about 30 minutes at home alone to get over the need i had to binge.
still not sure on friends bday, though she says no worrys as she knows i have a lot on right now. might get her a voucher or i know shes after the twilight books (will have car tomorrow.) |
day 90!! i am going to have to earn it too... it is not even 8 am and i am dying for crap food...what gives!?!?
i am tired, cranky and wishing i was able to just stay in bed today... but alas, i must work for a living... sooooo... i will earn my day 90 and be proud of it!!! teaching spinning is one of the most amazing things i have done since i lost the weight... it is soooo empowering to know that i am helping others get and stay fit... and that i can do it :) happy hump day to you all!!! |
I think this is the greatest thread around! Im so happy to hear that I am not standing on he edge of the binge-cliff alone! I have been a 3fC member for 3 days so I guess that would make me earning day 3 binge-free. I think this is so great! I am a chronic binge-eater! I am so happy in the moment but as soon as I am done, the guilt and disgust set in and that stays with me FAR longer than any small amount of satisfaction! My biggest challenge is the 2 hours between the time I get home and my boyfriend gets home & we have dinner. Thats prime-binge-time for me! Guess I know where I will be going from now on between 430pm and 630pm!
Congrats to all that gals that have made it without binging, I am going to join your club now!!;) |
Welcome, Porange510! and Congrats on day 3!
I, too, am earning day 3 today. I haven't been too tempted this week, though, so I don't feel any sense of accomplishment. If I survive the weekend that will be amazing! And that's a motivating thought - I have to stay binge-free until the weekend so that I can then stay binge-free through the weekend because I want to prove to myself that I can kick the weekend's butt! :D |
Good Morning Friends!!!!
I did it! Today is Day 30! It feels great to have a month behind me! For the record, I am STILL Halloween candy free! Not one single piece! I thought about it a few times, even had it in my hand, but never did open it. I just put it back and thought to myself that I KNOW eating 1 piece of candy will lead me to BingeLand and I DO NOT WANT TO BE THERE! I've worked WAY too hard over the last 30 days to get back in the swing again. It feels amazing! Kim: GREAT JOB GIRL!!!!!!!! :high: I knew you would survive last night. You are far too determined now to make it happen! You are doing great girly!!! :) Porange: :welcome3: Welcome!! We are glad you are here! Congrats on Day 3! This is a great place! Hope everyone has a wonderful day today!!! |
oh my gosh vixsin - you make me smile... and tear up! i am so proud of you for making it 30 days!!! and saying "no" to halloween candy is not easy !!! way to go!!!!
porange - welcome!!! it is so nice to meet new people and journey together! it is 10;45 and i am dying here ladies... i could seriously eat the entire world right now... there is a cafeteria one floor down and i have never been there...today is NOT going to be the day i start! i just need to focus and breath and remember the goals i have for myself... i am going to look up my list of Kudos and see what I am doing to "celebrate" 90 days and what the next goal is (Nov 26th I believe as it is my ex-husband's 50th bday and I know i will feel emotional about that since i am the party-planning type and this would have been a huge blowout party for him... if we were still together of course!) okay... breath in...breath out... get to work Kim ! :D hugs to allll you fabulous ladies!!!! |
Newbie to 3FC but, sadly, not a newbie in trying to get and keep weight off. I love this accountability thread because I'm insanely prone to hitting the junk food and totally blowing all my careful plans. I'm currently earning Day 6 after an unfortunate incident with Hallowe'en candy (curses on that holiday).
I thought I had enough control to stay away from the extra candy that we didn't hand out. Apparently I don't. I am now going to walk to the pantry and toss all the extra out. On a side note, both my kids have more self control than I do - they eat 2-3 pieces a day and they have the good sense to hide their candy bags from me. How sad is that? |
Stay strong Kim!!!!! :hug: You're tired and because of that hungry for everything. You are amazing and so strong! You won't give in today! I have faith in you! And if you want a party to plan, plan one for me. I'll be 40 next year. :) :lol:
Welcome NoMake! Great choice on throwing out the extra candy! Candy is the devil for me too! |
Vixsin : Day 30, thats great!
Happytobeamom: You are stronger than you know! Dig deep. Nomakesense: Tossing the candy sounds good, no distractions for you. As for me, well.......its back to Day zero. Today have been a binge, I even cringe writing the word. As I reflect I realise the following 1. have been tired and under the weather (going to bed super early 8.30 and 9, which is good but leave me frustrated as it feels like all i do is work then come home and go to bed) 2. I skipped the gym on mon & tues as feeling pants 3. I ditched my session with trainer tonight and then binged on chocolates and crisps. Now I feel bloated and crap. 4. I weighed myself this morning and the scales haven't moved in 2 weeks even though I have been working it hard - my trousers are looser but that wasn't enough to stop me boarding the train to binge town. Toot toot! Humpf! These are no excuses but I guess I need to see the triggers so I can head them off earlier. Pah! Pah! Pah! |
Just checking in, ladies.
Vixsin - WOO HOO!!!!!! You made it 30 days! I am so impressed. You are awesome! And by the way, I'm headed for the big 4-0 next year, too. :dance: Welcome to Porange & NoMakeSense. This is an AWESOME place for support. I look forward to getting to know you better. :welcome2: YoYono - way to turn this week around. :cp: I'm proud of you. Kim/Happy - YOU CAN DO THIS!!! We are all here for you as you've been here for us in the past. I'm sorry I've logged in so late & hope you are checking in with us often. It has helped me to write down exactly how I feel (tired, stressed out, lonely, etc.) and then list at least 2 things I can do to help with those feelings. Review the list often & chose to do at least some of them. Also, stay out of the kitchen tonight. If you have to make dinner, cook something you don't love, use paper plates to keep the clean-up to a minimum, and throw out the leftovers. Take a long bath, read a book, call a friend, go shopping, ANYTHING to just stay out of that kitchen. These urges are just feelings. We are in control, not the urge. You DESERVE to make it a binge-free day. :hug: i76 - do you take your measurements? I always found that the weeks when I wasn't losing BUT was working out a lot, my measurements were changing. Take a break from pushing yourself so hard & just focus on taking care of yourself. It's a wholistic thing. Maybe reduce the # days or intensity for a week & focus on clean eating & lots of sleep? I found that to be really effective, and then could kick it back up a notch or two. I've earned day 4. I over-ate yesterday, but also did TWO workouts to help make up for it. It was not bingeing in the slightest. I made some choices that were not super healthy, but so what? It was just 1 day. On to day 5 without bingeing & without guilt. |

I am soooo happy for you! :congrat: :hug: Nomake and Porange, welcome! :welcome2: HAPPY, I'm sending you good thoughts to be strong today. I know you will!! Drink water, buy coffee, get out of the house, whatever it takes. Best of luck to you! :hug: FRUITLADY, you're in my thoughts today! I'm sending you special wishes to make it through the restaurant event. I know you'll be strong! :hug: JESSIECAT, congrats to you for doing well. You asked how I'm staying strong. (I know people are probable sick of me saying what I do, but here goes.) It's not always easy, but when I get tempted, and I do under stress or some other emotion, I have to stop and ask myself questions. I ask myself what's really bothering me. When I want to eat, I know something's bothering me. Then I have to distract myself. I either exercise, get out of the house, do something nice for myself or come here and post. It's funny, but cravings do pass. Today I was very tired and tempted. And I know that temptation can lead to a binge. I don't want to go there anymore. So I bought coffee and now I can go on. Best of luck to you! Good luck everyone! :goodluck: Tyla :dust: |
