aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!! I'm so crabby!!! I've been eating badly all weekend, and I think I've gained a couple of pounds.

Okay, my friends... let's start tomorrow (Monday) off right. Let's commit to a good week of eating. Come on... we can do this, darn it!!!!!!

btw, I'm starting this thread now in case I forget tomorrow... don't get too excited and start tonight. Unless you really feel like it.

i'll join you!!! but monday is already over for me and i've already binged so i'll have to start on tuesday. i haven't even eaten dinner yet and i have fresh fish i should eat. i bought it yday so today is the last day to eat or it is wasted. trouble is i don't feel like it. i think if someone else whipped it up into a meal i'd scoff it but it's all too much effort. argggggh

count me in for this week! they say the 3rd time is the charm right? 1 full week of goodness! come on ladies we can do this!!

I know, jodi, 3rd time's the charm!!! I will succeed in this one. I had a small victory yesterday by NOT bingeing!! YAY!!! I finally broke my binge fest and I'm hoping it will continue. I think I binged for over a week straight . . . Sigh . . .

hi everyone

day1 here and i just had dinner but i am struggling - the urge to binge is strong!!! hideously so. right now food doesn't taste good so i just keep stuffing more in in the hope of finding something that satisfies me. silly girl i am

harpo wow you have lost a lot of weight. well done!
ellis and jodi hope you are resisting the urge to binge

oh darn i forgot., i had a mini binge earlier today. you'd think that sort of thing would be hard to forget!!! i had a packet of chips, a very large packet. it wasn't a full on binge but it was still a binge. and it was pure laziness. i was too lazy to prepare a proper lunch so i opened a packet of chips and then i demolished the whole thing. oh well at least they're not in the house anymore

Thanks sweetpea!!

Entering 3rd day of binge freeness!! But my Grandmother's birthday is today, and my Great Aunt always goes overboard on the food (but maybe not this year since my Great Uncle was diagnosed with diabetes, we'll see . . . ) But I should be happy we don't sit down to a proper family dinner or anything because then I would really have no choice to eat what they would eat. I'm hoping none of my family pressures me into eating a large amount of anything, or I'll be bingeing later on tonight . . . I keep telling myself "just a few bites, just a few bites." At least I'm not craving much of anything right now, and that will definitely help.

Girls, I had a MAJOR binge yesterday. But I'm seeing my dietician today, and am going to tell her to put me back on the "straight and narrow".
I've started the day out right with a healthy breakfast, and I'll be with you all the rest of the week. You're all doing really well...

i did it again no binge last night. going for a totally clean week!!

great job harpo we can do this girl!! sending you super strong "step away from grandmas food vibes" for tonight!! you can do it!!

sweetpea- hang in there you can do this!

ellis- how's it going hon?

oh ellis we must have posted at the same time, good luck at the dietition today! ((((ellis))))

I am in too!

I binged today (yes grandma's birthday) sigh sigh sigh. But I'm back in tomorrow. I'm not letting this one go on like the last one. It stops NOW

ellis I hoped you fared better today and had a stern kick in the butt from your dietician

Jodi You're our inspiration this week!! I hope you had another good day, at least somebody has been doing well!!!

But my grandma said to me when she saw me: You're getting too skinny! You need to eat!" I couldn't believe she used the verb 'skinny' Skinny? Now that's something I haven't heard before.

ok here i am entering into day 2 and so far so good. Amazing news!!! the tax investigation is over and i am in the clear. they accepted all my figures and told me about something i could claim but didn't know that i could claim a portion of the expense. hallelujauh (sp) what a happy day

on top of that the sun is shining and i am doing a wee happy dance of joy. i still feel wretchedly tired and am a bit down but this is good news and i plan to milk it and ride it and focus on the good stuff and hope that will override the hormones or whatever the lil devils are that try and drag me down. NO i say i will fight you. how's that. i just hope i can keep fighting when i walk past mcd as i am very partial to their ice creams.

i'm off now to get a salad or something else healthy to eat as my celebratory lunch. i really feel i have to kick this bingeing into touch. i have no energy and i'm sure my bingeing (which is always on carbs) is part of the problem

harpo - at least you did 2 BF days. take the good in that you're doing well

jodi - 3 days yippeee. do you have any tricks to how you're doing it??? i'd love to know

ellis - i hope the dietitian has some ideas to help you

welcome snoody

sweet pea, I'm laughing reading your post because I read it with a New Zealand accent!! I keep thinking of Anna Paquin and that girl from Whale Rider!!

Congratulations about your tax SNAFU being cleared up!!

Yea, I know I still feel pretty good about the 2 days. I'm not beating myself up too much about today's over-indulgence. And I'm keeping busy posting so I don't drive over to the grocery and get some more to eat (which keeps tempting me).

Good evening, dah'lings.

I have had a fabulous day. No binges, I'm tracking my calories, and I'm not thinking about food at all. My dream day.
I'm seeing my dietician again in two weeks, and have promised her I'll track every day and eat my three meals/three snacks.

Jodi, wooo hooo!! I'll bet you make the week, girl!!

Harpo, birthdays are so difficult. Move on, my dear... tomorrow is another day. A day with no birthdays. Be good to yourself tomorrow!

Sweet pea, that's wonderful news re: your taxes! I can "hear" your accent, too. My best friend is married to a New Zealander.
Enjoy your salad... good choice, hon!!

Snoody, welcome!! I hope your day is going well, too!
