Krampus- I was wondering how you were doing over there in Japan! My heart goes out for you. I am glad you are safe. But I feel so awful for the people whose homes and lives are destroyed. SarahinBalance- I have also been reading CNN all morning.
happytobeamommyof2- My heart goes out for you, too. Medical problems are out of our control and quite frightening as a result. I hope everything goes well for you. Stay strong in your resolve not to binge. I believe in you!!!!!
I'm on day 41 today. I was having such BAD, BAD cravings to munch yesterday night. I made a huge glass of crystal light. Then I had 2 handfulls of popcorn, 10 carrot sticks and 1 spoon of hummus. Not bad as far as I'm concerned! Then my period started last night, in the middle of the night.. So now I know why I was pekish.
My weight loss has been really slow. I haven't binged in 41 days, (and have only over-eaten, not binged, about 3 or 4 of those days) ... I've probably lost 5 lbs over the last 41 days. On one hand, it's progress. On the other hand, it's slow! I do feel better emotionally and physically when I dont' binge. My stomach doesn't feel big and swollen. I don't feel like food is taking over my life.
Oh Krampus!!! Thank you for checking in!!!! We have all been so worried about you! Will you do me a favor if you can and check in real quick on the daily accountability thread too? They all have heard that you're ok, but it would mean the world to many of them if they actually "saw" a post from you.
I'm SOOO happy that you're ok!!! I hope the rest of your circle of people are alright there too!
Hi all. I have been a binge eater for a long time. This is my first check in, as I joined yesterday. I haven't binge eaten in five days! I wanted to a lot yesterday, but I didn't. Instead, I ate a reasonable amount and logged it all in my calorie log.
Day done 19 yesterday. I gave myself a free day off from counting, and that caused me to overeat a bit at lunch -- I had a big salad, a roll, some fruit salad, three mini reeses, and three of those mini malt eggs. But I did not binge! That said, I need to learn how to not overeat on the days that I don't calorie count. I felt pretty stuffed afterwards, although I think it was because I was eating high bulk foods and not necessarily caloric foods (except for the chocolate of course).
day 6. I thought about binging today, but did not. For once, I have been feeling a little like my old self. I can't help but wonder if I have lost. I can't wait to get access to a scale to see. Maybe I'll start measuring my waist. In any case, I looked in the mirror, and for the first time in months, thought I was pretty. So, no. No binging today.
Hey ladies! I would love to join in & be here for support as well.... I can seriously, honestly, say that I haven't gone more than 5 days w/o binging in.......well about 6 years This is horrible for my mind, body, soul, not to mention teeth! this has got to stop! I am so ready to begin.
This is me announcing that tomrrow is day 1!!
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!
Tomorrow is Day 1!
This is horrible for my mind, body, soul, not to mention teeth! this has got to stop! I am so ready to begin.
