Hi everyone -- I enjoy getting home and being able to check in on all of you in the wee hours. I have good news. After weeks of binging I did not binge today. I had some hard hours, had some sugar withdrawals, but I made it through. And i plan on doing it tomorrow. What i did a little different was I had some protein snacks with me, that helped, and I had some strawberries that are low carb enough they don't cause me sugar highs-lows, but a little sweetness that helped my sweet tooth get through a day without binging.
Alisa -- you were having it tough, and the 6 miles walk is awesome. Keep hanging in there.
Golden Oldie -- welcome back.
Getting fit and everyone else who is on the binge-free wagon -- congrats -- you're inspiring to those of us struggling.
Everyone hang in there and have a great and Happy Easter.
14 hours into the day without bingeing. Longer than I made it most of the week. I just have to think how good it will feel to go to sleep tonight without hating myself for bingeing. My cravings aren't as had today, probably because I stayed away from sugar so far. Need to escape sugar one more time today (coworkers birthday) then i have a chance. I will keep praying.
Thank you all for being such good examples!!!
That's inspiring --and it's a good reminder to me to sometimes just remember i need to count hours.
Hey ladies! I am a serial binger. I have to commit to this challenge. I have had a terrible start of the month due to stress and over working!!!! Although I am busy, I need to know how to stay in control. Wish me luck!!!
I hope you all had a nice easter?i rode my bike with my husband to EL POLLO and ate lunch.i had a leg and salad.I told my husband i don't want candy cause it will lead to a binge.I gave a pound of SEE'S away for that reason.It's not worth it
Hey all! Still binge free. I did a 2.5 mile hike in the hills today and I've got a big sweet potato roasting in the oven right now for dinner. I hope you all are doing well, too. I'm praying for all of you who are working through Easter dinners with family. Good luck!
Thanks for the welcome, Jalsa and Elizabeth.
Good Luck Hillary - you're in the right place.
Sounds like Easter went pretty well for everyone - I had a good one except for the fish hook embedded in my thumb and didn't even catch a single fish
Working on 2nd bingeless evening - Keep up the good work all
Hi. I'm new here. It's great to see you all supporting one another. I struggle with binge eating. The last two weeks have been one huge binge. It's amazing how much damage you can do in two weeks. I'm busting out of my clothes. I am hoping to have a binge free day today. Usually if I can have one day, it will lead to others. So, if I can just make it through today....
Hey everyone! Hope it's going good for you today, let's take this one day at a time and do our best. I'm kind of realizing that overeating a little every once in a while is not so "scary" or "bad." sometimes, it just happens. But that's no excuse for me to binge 4x a week :P I have the most trouble on the weekends, so I"m going to make that my goal, to get through M-F and stay on track atleast partially Saturday and sunday good luck gals!
I want to join!
I have a huge binging problem. I'm a big disordered eater. I'm doing calorie counting, and it's working. Really well for me. I can have anything I want in moderation, which is helping me learn to eat "normally" without going crazy. A couple of days ago I broke down and ordered pizza. I kind of binged on that and ended up eating like 3000 calories that day!!! I have a history of bulimia, but haven't given into that behavior in a while, and then during this binge I walked all the way into the bathroom and was ready to purge when I stopped myself. Which was a victory in my book. But I'm ready to get control of the cycle. Normally I would NOT log the days I go way overboard. Now I'm going to, no matter what. Accountability!
I'm excited to be part of this thread. I'm on day 2.
I've gone 6 weeks without binging, BUT TODAY I almost caved in and went to Pizza Hut - I swear I was "this close" to ordering a pizza. My son in the back seat said "you can't have that or you will be fat forever...." --- that was enough for me to keep moving and I came home, drank a bottle of water and ate my 100 calorie, low-carb medifast soup.....
On plan a solid six weeks without a binge.
Minchievictim- you sound a lot like me, and a binge without a purge is an awesome step in the right direction!
Ubskinny- 6 weeks is awesome! Way to go on not getting pizza- lucky you have a little angel on your shoulder ;-) even when it's maybe not worded the way we want to hear things- you are inspiring to me, I can only hope to go that long!
Here's to day 9 for me! Spring break is over for my students so it's back to the daily grind.. But I'm feeling like I can do it! :-)
