Day 8 for me. Yay! This is getting easier for me because I have been doing P90X and absolutely do NOT want to undo all of my hard work in the morning workouts. Plus, I've been insanely busy in the evenings. Tonight will be another hour at home alone, though, which is never a cake walk.
I'm starting again at Day 1 today I'm afraid.
Had a horrendouse long weekend, 4 days of binging as if my life depended on it. My weight this morning is the highest it's been in about 4 months, although I know that most of it will be water bloat and hopefully come off again in the next few days.
Today is a new start, new attitude, new outlook.
Day 2 today. I'm excited because I'm at the easy part, weekdays are a breeze for me, it's the weekends. I'm even on vacation, a mini one and doing great. I ran this morning and am planning on shelling out the $22 bucks to do a drop in yoga class tomorrow and then run again Wednesday. I've been ordering what I want and stopping when I'm full and nit over thinking it i know when we get home I'll be back to my routine and all will be well The realizations I had yesterday, which was yeah sometimes I like to overeat - so what? Has freed me from all the inanity. I've given myself permission to just be, no judgements, no shame and I can't wait til next weekend to see how it pays off.
I haven't made it past 10 days since doing these posts.
Although I have been exercising the past several days consistently, since thursday, I haven't been losing weight though. I hope that changes this week.
I need to focus on not overeating, having more protein, and working out harder.
I stumbled across this site today after searching "resisting a binge." I was in a really bad place this morning and I was close to eating everything I brought with me to work. I managed to call my sister before I lost control and she talked me down.
This forum is exactly what I need. I have been struggling with bingeing and purging for over 10 years and I just feel that now is the time I have to stop. I haven't been able to put more than 5 days together over the past few weeks and I really think this site will help keep me focused. It is so great to see people have hundreds of days!
Thanks for being here.
Day 1 continues!
Hi Erin, I hope you'll keep posting here and we'll see your binge-free days in the hundreds too!
Morning of Day 5 for me. With an encouraging weigh-in and decreased appetite from the disgusting 250% humidity and stuffy heat, I suspect tomorrow will be Day 6.
Day 1- Mother's day did go as planned, my daughter surprised me with taking me out to a buffet. I only ate til I was full, didn't stuff myself. Around 10pm. my daughter wanted me to make her cookies, I ate cookies which led to peanut butter & ice cream, it was so good I couldn't stop. I'm up 5lbs overnight!
Went off plan today, unexpectedly. Not exactly a binge, but did probably consume an excess of calories for the day because I just had to have a bowl of ice cream. I'm going to have to make up for it over the next few days now.
What really annoys me is that while grocery shopping today, I looked at a bag of Keebler Coconut Dreams cookies (a BIG trigger) and deliberately refused to buy them because I knew what would happen if I did. I felt pretty proud of myself. But then, I came home and ate a bunch of ice cream. Now I'm thinking, "Well, damn, for the calories, I could've had the cookies." Anybody else get that way?
Yes, in desperate moments of binges past I have eaten a bunch of oatmeal or other non-exciting carbs when I really wanted sweets. It sort of reminds you how stupid the whole thing is, doesn't it?
