Hi all, Monday began my commitment to regain control and go binge free. I've been having some "issues" lately and really lost my focus for a while, which just goes to show you that the work doesn't end just because you get to goal. Good luck everyone, we can do this!
WOW!!! to all the newcomers. it's wonderful to see so many people here
i have been eating erratically, and that includes some bingeing but mainly just eating at odd hours and bad combinations of food. going out tonight for dinner so we'll see how that goes. truthfully i'd rather hibernate at home and shut out the world but i will force myself to go into town
having women's troubles, so off to the doc tmrw to get that fixed. yick!
the iron pills are kicking in and i think they're starting to make a difference. hope to feel better soon
beverly: i'm impressed you've lost nearly 200lb. fantastic. what's the secrete to your success
stephie i'm feeling guilty. ummm i just don't remember when i last exercised. i floated around the lounge for a few mins yday and that was it. might go for a walk this afternoon. note "might"
elizabeth - you're really encouraging me to eat a low GI diet. you've done so well with your bingeing
Today was a binge-free day Again!
Did well with food and even walked 3 miles around Green Lake. Feel good about myself. Because I planned my food for the entire day - packed all the snacks, lunch, and made good choices when came back home. Did not camp in the kitchen
Had a small piece of 85% dark chocolate - allowed.
I hope that everyone is doing great here. See you tomorrow
I still binge- free and I am still a non- smoker . And I am still feeling not so well.... Oh, and TOM will be in a few days.....
Elizabeth: Yes, I am the Nanny of a real dysfunctional family. I would consider sending them to a shrink or a councellor, but I donīt have the time to drive them to their appointments and pick them up afterwards....
Hey everyone. I made it another day without binging and I was even home alone last night!!!! I could have made some better choices about some of the things I ate, but hey not binging is a great start. I will work on one thing at a time. Hope everyone is doing well and good luck with today. We can do this ladies!!!
Hello everybody,
Stephie and nurse, nights are so difficult for me esp. when I feel miserable and lonely. When I was a little girl, my mom was too busy working and my grandmother took care of me all the time. Her love was fused with homemade food. That's how I got it - warm, kind, soft hands and food in my mouth equals love and protection from my Nanny. Since then this formula food equals love has worked me into bindges when I am anxious and depressed.
It's hard to re-learn this form of love. I am trying though.
Good luck everybody!
Binge free day number two...and never felt so good. When I don't binge I dont seem to have to worry to much about my calories, which feels awesome! Tonight I have a yoga class and I am going to try and get a run in. I am hoping ,y good behavior exercise wise will make it easier not to binge...why waste all that good calorie burning eh?
sweat pea - Woman's troubles are the pits. I hope you DO get that walk in, might make you feel better.
moonbeam - YAY on another binge free day. I know what you mean about food=love. I think food=fun. Anytime my hubby and I are trying to think of something to do eating is top of the list...
kate - binge free and smoker free...look at you
whirley - I am so proud of you for not bingeing. It really seems like posting in the threads here at 3fc is helping...
i had a tooth extracted today. wow i just feel so tired. didn't sleep well from the pain and now i have to think about replacing the missing tooth as it leaves one molar on it's own and it won't last thru all my nut nashing. rats. i also went to the doc and got some pills and had a smear ugh ugh to check on the women's problems so i feel exhausted and the day's barely begun lol
i did go for my walk yday but not v far. still it's a step in the right direction
well done to everyone who was binge free. i didn't binge yday but i ate mainly crap so it's hard to feel pleased about the day LOL. right now i can't taste food so that's slowing me down...
I am still here, binge and smoke free....I am not feeling really well at the moment, but maybe thatīs subject to change later that day. And I need more coffee.
Important news, which deserve the BREAKING NEWS banner for me: I have an appointment at my Gyn...
Last time I was there (in summer 20005 ) he told me I had to lose 20- 25 kg (that statement made me gain 6 kg) because of my PCO diagnosis. Oh, and he brilliantly diagnosed that I donīt have an ED- because I am not morbide underweight. Ok. But he has several test results from me. And I really want to know if there is a connection between my non- happening- weight- loss in the last 8 weeks (also my eating behaviour was quite good and I exercised) and that PCO thing and the thought that I could be insulin resistant.
I am really looking forward to Tuesday, 10 oīclock in the morning....
sweat_pea: Hope you feeling better now!
Ok, maybe itīs not very polite , but I am calling ellis and HarpoChico to this thread!!
This week has been really frustrating for me. Last week I was so burnt I didn't do any excercise but dance class. This week has been the week of cancelled classes. Dance, aquarobics, all cancelled. Trying to get my butt up and motivated to run through a couple of energetic sun sulates here. Maybe 1 more cup of coffe will help
Binge accounting:
Monday-did the whole forgetting to eat thing so it was kinda a non-issue
Tuesday- 1200 calories, exhausted from work
Wed- no binge, did overeat at dinner because I was tired, but totally resisted the whole tired must eat desserts thing
Next week I will be in LA all week so I know excercise and food will be all over the map again. Until I get settled into CA I need to learn to accept that and try to keep the scale from moving around too much.
Miss Chris
Ok, I KNOW that posting this quote here has nothing to do with a binge free week or something like that, but I loved it:
First person: He is a vulcan. He is fighting hard with his inner demons.
Gonzo: He has demons?? Cool!!
Yep, saw a Muppets movie yesterday.
This sentence is going to be one of my favorite movie quotes. Along with:
First: wuff, wuff, grrrrr, wuff, grr
Second: Oh, Lassie said half way right under the third bridge there is a car which had an accident. The driver needs our help and we need the red truck to help him.
Hello everyone. I mangaged to go binge free yesterday. Was even offered chocolate yesterday afternoon and turned it down. I couldn't even believe the word No came out of my mouth when asked.
Kate Way to go being binge free and smoke free. Good luck with the doctor. I hope they can give you some insight into what is wrong. I hate knowing that I feel bad and nobody being able to give me a reason as to why. I have had a lot of female problems. I have endometriosis and when I would tell them how much pain I was in I felt like they thought I was just making it up or something. We know our bodies and we know when something is off. I hope that you get the answers that you need.
I can only report being binge free in the morning. Because my dangerous times are evenings and nights. So I have been binge free three nights now.
I have lost another pound - I am 157 lbs now. I typically sabotage myself as soon as I see some weight loss I hope it won't happen this time.
Everybody hold on tight, the week is almost over!
I'm doing pretty good........still have less urges to binge, still doing atkins. Plus I still feel REALLY great. I actually have energy to exercise! WOOHOO!
My biggest issue, these days, is my scale monster!!! UGH!! I can gain 3lbs overnight and then lose them the next day. I KNOW it is not possibly fat, but seeing the higher number drives me even when my clothes are fitting looser. I guess it is just ONE more lovely aspect of having ED (eating disorder, NOT erectile dysfunction!) I'm gonna try, to have a scale-free week......... ok maybe I'll go 3 days without weighing.
Moonbeam~YAY!!! Congrats on remaining binge-free AND losing weight!!!! You will NOT sabotage yourself----I know you can do this!!! Keep it up!!!!
Whirleygirl~You were binge-free AND you turned down chocolate!?!?!?! Amazing! You should be proud of yourself!
Kate~ Sorry you're not feeling well. I hope the gyn can give you some answers regarding your pcos---you know there are threads here at 3FC for people dealing with that. It can DEFINITELY impact your weight! Congrats on your continued smoke-free and binge-free success---you are AWESOME!!!! I loved your quotes....too funny
rochemist~ back!!!! I've read your helpful posts in the past and am really glad to know you are doing well! Although you haven't posted for some time, your posts from years ago, have really helped me! Thanks! Good luck on your move to LA!
Sweetpea~ UGH! Female problems AND a tooth extraction!?!?! I hope you feel better soon! Please, spoil yourself...you deserve it!!!
Stephie~YAY you!!! Congrats on 2 days of being binge-free! It DOES feel so great to be in control! You can do this......
