Binge - Free September Challenge
 

Anyone who would like to try for a binge-free September, lets do it! :) anyone is welcome who feels that they do or have ever struggled with this issue. We can do it together :carrot:

I started off on the WRONG foot while on a camping trip over the weekend... four days of nothing but junk... :( its so hard when the whole family wants to eat junk and were in the middle of nowhere on a houseboat... and I had to be at work during the shopping trip to get things ready. I was told that they had bought some special things for me...(they know I try to eat healthy... my "health" foods turned out to be multi-grain cheerios, lean ground beef, and 1% milk.. oh bless their hearts, they tried to accommodate for me)... but I am ready to start fresh with the rest of September. :) whew!

I'm going to join. Hoping I'll do a lot better than last month. So far so good, heres to a month of NO binging!

Didn't last in August. I'm ready to last for September! Good luck :)

I'm in. I've been binge-free since August 9th despite a few close calls. Making it through September will be a great goal.

I am such a freakin' loser. Got up to go to the gym after a binge-free September, got on the scale - finally hit Onederland at 192.2 (other scale said 191.2 but will go with the higher one), and I abandon my gym plans and eat everything that isn't nailed down instead.

What the h*ll is wrong with me??? I was committed to a binge-free 10 weeks and could only do 5. And I have a doctor appointment Thursday. Who knows how much water weight I will take on. The food didn't even taste that great.

I celebrate having less than 30 pounds to goal weight by binging. I cant believe it...

Well, what's done is done. I will try to restrain myself for the rest of today, which won't be easy even though I feel sick from everything I have eaten. Back to the gym and weight loss plan tomorrow. I will try to stay on track for the rest of the month :(

Kittykatfan- don't be too hard on yourself! I know, easier said than done, I'm here struggling not to beat myself up about my last four days of madness-- if it makes you feel any better, I'd throw a party if I had gone 5 entire weeks without a binge. Seriously. I know it sucks so bad and I'm right there with you, struggling to get back on track. We can do it though!

i think september is gonna be harder than i thought ...i've been overeating for two days. i hate dealing with bureocracy (i don't know if i spelled it right :D ) and papers and procrastination is my middle name =(

Binge free since Sept. 1.

Had a close call on the 1st...I was in a funky headspace and PMS-y and ate probably 10 mediocre wings and a disgusting ice cream sandwich (never buy "Svelte" ice cream sandwiches from Trader Joe's) for absolutely no reason other than I was feeling weird and eating distracted me. Nothing compared to the epic binges of yesteryear but I didn't like returning to that "out of control, someone else is eating using my body" sensation.

Working on Binge-free September! Working on day four today. I would really like to make it the whole month which I have yet to do since I have been contributing to these threads. I have entered an eating disorder program so we will see if that helps! So grateful again for the support I get here!

Not a good start for me- I went away for a few days - nothing bad in that a little overeating which was probably counterbalanced by a lot of walking - but it has been really difficult to get back into my old routine - I am beginning to think that I am really sensitive and find it difficult to adjust and in the past just medicated it with food and more food!

Hoping to get my old equilibrium back in the next few days or so

today went ok .... jalsa i hope to get back my august equilibrium too :/

Thats how it was for me on the 1st as well Lady. I had that fantastic meal out with my hubby and then when we got home later that evening and had our desserts... but I still found myself rummaging around in the cabinets for more sweets.
I managed to stop eating and got right back on plan, but I did have that somewhat out of control feeling start to creep in.

Interestingly enough, like you, I also had a couple of alcoholic beverages. Coincidence? Doubtful...

Looks like things are getting back to some kind of balance for me - had a crazy few days though !!
