I am NOT hungry but I so want to eat some khashi cookies and this late night eating has been reflecting on the scale...
Need to push through.....I know I am just tried cause I have been at school literally all day.....

Congrats eurydice on 3 weeks! Woo hoo! And yay tamara on hitting eleven yesterday!
I finished day eleven of being binge free yesterday, and I am still feeling strong. I was tempted to get snacky in the afternoon, but I resisted. I kept putting it off and putting it off, and then the craving disappeared. It was empowering for me to wait it out and then feel it just go away!
I was a little bit over my calories yesterday -- just 98 about maintenance, but it was because I threw in an extra snack in the AM and had a really bad gym workout. I think it was because I ate too little on Monday -- I ended the day at a 500 calorie deficit, which is simple way more than I can handle without wanting to eat the house the next day. My goal is going to stay within a 300-400 deficit range until I hit my goal weight, which should put me at 1300-1600 calories each day, depending on my workout. Then I'll re-evaluate.

Today felt a little out of control, though total calories weren't tooooo high. I'm counting it as a binge day, since I just thought about where I could get my next sugar fix all day long. I'm gaining and I hate it.

congrats to all of you who can keep it day after day....me not so much...it's a living ****...
krampus i feel exactly the same, as soon as i get up i wonder where can i get my sugar, chocolate, cookies, anything, and i keep telling myself tomorrow i will stop binging but in the middle of the day i snap and eat everything in sight. every day is worse. my clothes don't fit and tomorrow i start some serious job, plus we have relatives comming for a visit from other country and i'm so nervous, i haven't seen them for two years. plus i have to study for the exams but i just don't have time, peace, will and that is why i binge even more plus the drama at home is my constant trigger. i hate being home. when will all this end. i feel like i'm spinning in a viscious circle with no way out.

MissSunshine - I guarantee that everyone in this thread feels your pain - I hate that vicious out of control feeling. I could tell you to be kind to yourself, to love yourself, to do 1 nice thing for yourself a day (hot bath, cup of tea, sit and breath for 10 mins) but I absolutely understand that it's easier said than done. I'm saying a prayer right now that the cycle will end. HUGS.
Today is day 9 for me - Sundays are REALLY hard for me and although I overate, I didn't binge - I stopped when I was full (a little too full, but I stopped).
Are Sundays hard for anyone else? What do you do?

I have been doing OK today but I saw on another forum I post on that someone is making care packages of chocolate to send to posters at that forum. I felt that panicky craving urge just reading descriptions of the chocolates and pounded out a "NO THANK YOU THIS IS MY FINAL ANSWER HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE" reply.
I never binged when I was overweight/not concerned with weight. Never. I will never understand how this works.

completed day 12 of being binge-free yesterday! I am creeping up on two weeks, which is going to be a huge milestone for me. I can't remember the last time I have gone a full two weeks.
krampus -- great job resisting those chocolates!
SarahinBalance -- Sundays are a little bit hard for me too, I think because it's the end of the weekend and I always feel like treating myself before going back to work. My husband and I always do Sunday night dinner -- we cook a nice (but healthy) meal and enjoy it together with a glass of wine. I find that it helps a lot, because it is a food treat, so I don't feel deprived, but it is planned and healthy. I'm not sure what your schedule is like, but could you plan some treat like that (food or not) into your Sunday evening?

I didn't binge today but that's probably only because I finished off the cookies at work. There were only a few left so they didn't impact my calorie total too badly. I had a great run/workout and aside from the cookies had really wholesome meals - veggies, tofu, yogurt and fruit.
Day 1 was pretty successful so far.

Sundays have always been really hard for me too. In general, I think they're hard, faced with work the next day, not wanting to give up on the weekend, there's a lull in the week. So what do we want to do? Eat, of course! Because eating always extends the weekend (oh, wait...that never works!). Most of my slip up says in the past were Sundays. Not sure how I stand up to them now, but they're still a struggle!
