That's great, Nessy. In every journey, we all have to take a first steps. I am but a toddler in this process myself, only haven taken a few myself. But, with each day, you'll get stronger. Even if you do give in, you still win, because you'll do great the next day. (((hugs)))) We can do this!
^ Yes we can!!! I am very excited to begin my journey to a healthy life! I think when I want to binge, I'm just going to come on here and talk to you gals! I feel that day 1 will be easy tomorrow... its day 2,3, etc... that worries me..
Fruitlady-- Way to go!! I can only imagine ever being able to say day 50!
nessie & JDTH- Thank you! I have alot of stomach problems, so it's either I eat junk and be sick or don't touch it and feel great. You both will do great being binge free!
Today was kind of Day 1. I had a hangover and I definitely overate, but I didn't binge. I have been nonstop binging since Thursday night and I can't even begin to describe how terrible the inside of my mouth feels - all sensitive and sore from all the sugar, and my jaw is actually sore from chewing.
Thank you all for your concern re: earthquake. Things are tough throughout the nation though my area is completely unaffected. A couple people I know lost their homes in the floods and there are still lots of aftershocks and moderately sized earthquakes occurring in the central and northeast parts of the country.
Hi, I've just arrived to the forum, so I wanted to say hi to everyone
And I'd love to start the challenge... one week binge free seems so awesome to get to do it...
Binged on chocolate cream frosting/spread tonight, but the damage from that was much smaller than the past few days. I suppose a small binge is better than a big binge, but still.
I got through three weeks of being binge-free, so I am excited about that! But ice dragon -- I know what you mean about the first three weeks seeming easy. But we can do it this time! My birthday is in about six weeks, so I thought that a great birthday gift to myself would be to continue on and make it through this challenge up until then. So that is my "birthday promise" to myself!
However, my weight is up 1.5 lbs above my maintenance red line, so I am feeling bummed about that. I think I have to go full force back into weight loss mode!
