The scale moved, guys! After more than a month! Super strict for the rest of the week, now... I don't want to gain anything back! And this is my 81st day without bingeing. Ten days to go and it will be three months!
When do you think we "graduate" as "non-bingers"? Do we ever?
I felt this was the right place to publish a NSV... I was always very self-conscious about the shape of my body in pants or tights, to the point that I did not own any gym clothes, which kept me away from the gym. My exercise consisted of walking, and I did that in dresses and sandals, flip flops or boots, depending on the weather.
As a reward for not bingeing I bought myself a pair of running shoes some time ago, but could not bring myself to try on pants or tights.
My NSV is that I finally did it: I went to a sports shop and spent a fortune on very nice tights which do not look terribly bad on me. The victory is not that somebody said they look good (nobody has seen me in them yet) but that I am getting to accept my shape and to dare show it. A lot of our wellbeing depends not so much on the scale but on how comfortable we feel in our bodies and when in the presence of food.
Well, hope you are all doing great!
Fourth day binge free since ridding my house of all binge-worthy foods. I did eat a huge dinner today but it was all healthy stuff...I have never been a person who binges on healthy food so I'm quite sure I was just hungry, not binging. I think deep down I will know when I'm crossing that fine line between eating a lot and binging.
Using them will be another NSV! LOL! I need to shorten the pants and to do that I have to buy a very thin needle, because the one I have may damage the fabric. I will wear those pants, I swear!

Healthy eating FOREVER is my goal.
I can relate to you totally.I keep binge food out of my apartment.If I binge i usually do it on salad/veggies which is strange for me.Ust to hate them.Now when people see me eating them they think something's wrong with me
MrsLosingit, the more you go without a binge the easier it will get. What I have noticed is that once bingeing stops being an option, we turn to other activities and learn to keep ourselves busy in other ways. It helped me a lot to constantly ask myself why I wanted to eat if I was not hungry. If the answer was boredom, I did something to change that; if it was stress, I tried to calm down somehow --away from food--; if it was frustration, I changed the activity till I felt better and then tried to tackle it again. And so on... It seems to have worked so far, since I have not binged in 2012 yet, and I was a big binger. Look into a future of control and happiness, and try to get to the end of March! Good luck!
