Binge Free Challenge: 5.2.11 - 5.8.11 - We CAN do this!!!
Welcome to the binge-free challenge!!
This is a place where you can come in and talk about binging. Feel free to post about your successes and your struggles and keep track of how many days you've been binge free. You can also vent about anything and everything you feel like getting out. We are here to share our feelings and to encourage and inspire each other.
No negativity! 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!! Please do not hesitate to post your feelings. Jump right in head first!!! We WILL catch you!
earning challenge day 9 today: my challenge is to run 15km on July 15th in 90min or less...and to not get on the scale until then. I have been on the scale twice since early April: both due to medical professionals. I was 187 as of Fri... that is HUGE for me... it SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was 172 this time last year... this is not maintenance...this is purely GAINING! I am very discouraged! I did my long run on Fri and managed 8.6km so I have a very very long way to go. On the positive side (and I am trying so desperately to stay positive right now) my exbf left me alone this weekend, my kids were in pretty good moods, and i didn't binge... i hate how my clothes feel, i hate this belly, i hate that summer is coming and i don't want to "uncover" into tshirts and shorts... how did it get this bad? wasnt i paying attention? what the ****!
okay... earning day 9... i can do this!!! i dont need a bf, i dont need a trainer... all i need is me... right????
Feeling good and doing well and I see some progress on the scale. Hang in there everyone! Hope the snow outside (it is May! afterall) melts today 'casue this stuff is just gloomy!
Day 6 binge free was yesterday, so onto Day 7 today! A MAJOR achievement for me today is that I'm only .4lbs up from Friday's weigh in which NEVER happens, usually it's at least 4lbs if not more. The first weekend in a while when I haven't binged, have eaten moderately and enjoyed my food. It feels SO good to get up on a Monday morning and not feel hugely bloated and disgusted with myself.
Today MIL has arrived unannounced which has sent my stress levels sky high, but I'm determined to stay strong, she is not going to drive me to a binge!
I failed last night. I started by not making a good food choice and ordering tres leches cake at dinner. Then I really failed by binging. The binge started with some cottage cheese - not so bad. But finished with an everything bagle and cream cheese.
Sigh.
I have NO IDEA how to stop it. I felt like I wasn't going to be able to relax without some carbs in my body. I tried drinking water, watching a movie, I even ate it all in front of my roommate and boyfriend. And I whined so hard they felt like they had no choice but to let me eat.
Starting over again today, but I feel a little stuck because I'm not sure what to do in order to keep a binge from happening once my mind is set on it.
Was on track all weekend until last night, when i had planned a cheat meal, but it turned into a binge. I was going to have a cheat meal again tonight but i am cancelling that. Not too concerned about last night, to be honest...my binges are really getting fewer and far between, and they don't affect me the next day; i'm able to get right back on track.
Sometimes I wonder when will this go away for good. May is here. I'm gonna give it my best and go through this whole month binge free. I gotta do this for my health.
Day 1- I'm 10lbs heavier than I was last summer, I need to lose at least 8lbs of it and I'll be happy. I did good today, i hope i can keep it up!
I just realized that I am also 10lbs more than I was last year at this time of year. Stay binge free and eat right, and get exercise. You can go back to the same weight before summer starts!
I'm with you fruit lady! I am a good 10 lbs heavier than I was last summer.. and I was NOT happy with my weight last summer either.
Day 8 is coming to an end. It's been a tough day emotionally, and that's my trigger. As soon as I got sad I though "donut," but went for a 1.5 hour walk instead and am over that urge.
