Missunshine- if it helps you have been an inspiration to me in the past! I hope that everything works out for you and that you find a better way to deal with all of the stress!! Hang in there- it's never too late to turn things around!
Ravensglen- I can totally relate to that guilty feeling- and I'm sorry you're feeling that way. I hope you feel better soon and can get back on track and going strong!
Kittykatfan- bedtime has saved my butt so many times! hows the knee?
I'm hanging in here on day 3. I don't dare step on the scale... My bingeing has made my weight creep slowly upward for the past 6 months or so, and it's so depressing. However- I'm usually the most successful when I weigh in every day. It's a little extra motivation not to binge. I guess tomorrow I'd better bite the bullet and just do it.... Hopefully my water weight is gone and I'll at least have stayed the same weight. Ugh. This binge pattern has to stop! I've only gained 6-7 lbs in the last 6 months but that's 6 or 7 too many!!!
I have been binge free since the beginning of september now! I think my clothes fit better! Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but it feels good anyways
Knee is good! I actually ran 10 times around my block without stopping. Boy, my quads are going to kill me in the morning. I ran two more times around the block and I was so sore. Ran for 59 minutes, the did some hill walking.
Day 18 binge-free. I'm really hungry though. I don't think I'm eating enough on my exercise days so I'm gonna up my calories. Thought briefly about binging this morning rather than working out, but then I remembered I had lunch plans and couldn't binge all day so I exercised instead. Strange logic, huh?
I do have a Fat Free Reddi-Whip addiction. I just love taking hits on it! I have to stop though...
Hey, I know I'm a bit late on the binge free september bandwagon, but I've just joined: and my main goal is to stop remain in control. I lost about 15 kgs 2 years ago, keep it of for a year and a half, and then put it back on this winter (Australia time, which is summer in America)because I gave myself permission to binge ("it's cold, I want carbs" etc). This time, rather than just focusing on changing my diet, I'm focusing on changing the way I think about food. No more binging, even if I can loose it later!!
I completely lost it today. Nearly made it to the end of the month without binging too. I feel physically ill and I've been reminded how horrible binging makes me feel and how it doesn't solve any of my problems, just makes me feel worse. On the bright side my mum and sister are home for a few weeks, so that'll help me stay on track. I'm much more likely to binge when I'm on my own.
Just about to finish 21 days without binging. But it's tough. Every day I wake up thinking "forget about exercising today! Go to the donut shop!" But fortunately my messed up logic stopped me. I realized I had no time to run out to lunch and continue my binge, so why bother messing up in the morning when you can't overeat all day?
I've been binging about once a week...today though marks the second time in the past week. I came home after working a 14 hour shift to find that my boyfriend ordered us domino's pizza. XL cheese. And a molton lava cake. I had 5 or 6 slices and the chocolate cake. My calorie intake for the day is 3700...I feel painfully full, unhappy, and disappointed.
My boyfriend did it to be nice-he knows I love pizza and how hungry and tired I am working these 70 hour weeks. He has been supportive of my weight loss but thought I deserved a treat.
I'm not looking forward to the bloating over the next couple days. Last week I was 161...so close to being in the 150s. Now I am 163 and higher after the pizza.
ugh- swearwords. I finally saw the scale headed back down this morning and then tonight came and I totally lost it. starting over AGAIN.
Oh no! The scale can be a binge trigger for me also, but it's the other way- if it goes up I go into deep depression and head for the cookie jar etc - if it goes down I go into the wardrobe to find some clothes that are a little smaller. That's another thing about binge eating - has anybody else got wardrobes full of clothes that don't fit- because either they grew out of them or they bought them a size smaller to grow into?
I'm down another pound - probably due to the exercise but the binge eating is still on a bit of a roller coaster

Oh, it's exactly the same for me! That's why I don't dare to step on the scale even though I am sure I have lost some weight.
I baked cookies yesterday and didn't binge on them! I tasted some of the dough and had one cookie. Then I felt like I wanted a second one, but no more. I didn't feel the urge to binge. I actually felt overly full and skipped dinner. That's huge for me.
No one else was at the appartment, no one knew I was baking cookies. I could have just eaten them all. That's what had happened in the past. I baked and then couldn't stand it and since no one would know it anyways, I had all of the cake or cookies.
Kittkatfan- that's a great accomplishment! Congratulations!
Jalsa- I have such a love/hat with the scale... It keeps me accountable, but when my weight drops down I tend to get lazy.
Mer du Japon- I'm sorry you've been having a tough few weeks! I hope you can pull through it!
I think I'll be alright today, I'm feeling pretty good this morning- but I've always got to stay on my toes! I can't believe it's almost the end of Septemer! Fall is officially upon us....
The scale is a problem for me as well. My DH has been telling me to stay off the scales and lately, I have listened to him. It feels great! I judge by the way pants and bras fit- I know how I'm doing weight wise.
starting over AGAIN.
