Well I completely understand the eating alot before my TOM I had that last Monday night I just ate and ate, I was so mad at myself for doing that! But I was so hungry all day long and I couldn't figure out why as I wasn't eating any less than usual. Well about a couple of days later I was reading in one of my health magazines and it says that about a week before your TOM you burn more calories in your body and that is why you are so hungry. It really made sense to me after my Monday night eating session as I haven't done that in awhile! So that might explain that a bit.
Good luck at the buffet, just try and make more sensible choices, yeah I know easier said than done!

I wanted to share with everyone how proud I am of myself. I have lost 20 lbs since Jan 7th, and I feel great!!! A co-worker stoped me today to ask me if how much I had lsot.. she said you are looking GREAT!! I felt so good!! It's the first person to notice!!! She also said that my skin looked really good.. that is probably from all the water I've been drinking. I really needed that boost!! I'm ready for next 20lbs!!!

Oh, no need to apologize, hon!
I just remember a few people in the past saying that just reading about food binges sets them off...
Anyhow, I'm okay with whatever... just thought I'd mention it in case...
Chubs, congratulations!!
Isn't is wonderful getting compliments?
Welcome to all the new people!
A good friend of mine died on the weekend, and I've had a couple of bad eating days. The funeral was today, and I managed to stay on track, so I think I'm back in the grove.
Hi everyone!! Please don't take this the wrong way, but I guess I'm one of those people that doesn't want to hear about the binges.... I want to be part of a group that wants to talk about positive things and how good we are trying to be.. I guess it's hard for me to understand the whole binge thing.. I have an eating problem.. I know what it is and now I'm learning to control it and do what is best for my health and of course look sexy!!! We need to give eachother support for the good not talk about how bad things are.. I guess I'm a optimist. Sorry if I upset anyone.. but I hope that maybe it woke one person up and made them realize that only they are in control of what they put in thier mouth. If you are still eating out of control.. maybe it's not time for you to do this.. and if you think it is.. then STOP OVER EATING!! and START MOVING!! I thought it was going to be great here.... but maybe it will be at some another time.
Nildee, that's fine! Thank you for letting us know.
I'm going to xxx out the mention of binges, and if anyone wants to "confess" to anything, they can start another thread.
Let's all stay postive, ladies!
Lena, you're such a darling... thank you, sweetie...
ellis, it's okay.. I understand people need an out.. but I thought this thread was about CONTROL.. I didn't want to upset anyone by what I said.. I just needed to say it. I guess that was my out.
Okay, we'll start a new thread, andreaphilip, because I need to talk about my bad days too. I need to cyber-purge. I'll make the new thread. Cyber purgers (warning: binge confessions) We'll put a warning on it for anyone who doesn't want to read it.
Andrea and Harpo, thank you so much for starting the other thread. It felt like my head was going to blow off last night with the stress. It's so hard to please everyone.
I'm starting the day with a healthy breakfast, will move on to a healthy snack and then a healthy lunch... etc, etc.
And I've got to get my 6500 steps in on my pedometer. And I think a little weight work-out. I missed my class last night because of the funeral.
Thanks to all of you for your kind words... they're much appreciated...

That's always a tough time.
