This is a thread to challenge ourselves to remain binge free for one week. Some of us make it, and some of us don't, but we all give it our best effort. It doesn't have to be an entire week. Some of us take it hour-by-hour. Whatever you can do, come here to share your successes and your struggles. Together, we are all stronger!
Please refrain from mentioning any specific foods because it sets some people off on a binge. If you feel the need to mention food, head on over to Cyber Purgers and confess away.
This is a thread open to all, don't hesitate to jump in anytime!!! Newbies are very much welcomed!!!
Thanks for starting this thread ...im going home this week and since I'm not gonna be in the same surroundings, there's more of a chance that i could binge. But with this post, I can commit myself to be binge free...makes me accountable, makes me more confidant. I'll report on my (hopefully) success at the end of the week.
This week I'm committing to being Binge Free - Been good so far today, going to try to up my calories this week, as my new theory is that maybe I'm binging on the weekends because I'm restricting myself too much during the week -
Just bought a couple of books by Geneen Roth, tired of being obsessed with food so maybe intuitive eating will help?
Ok, yesterday was binge free and I made it to stick to my eating plan. I am trying to pre- plan meals and count the calories at the moment, maybe that works...
And I am going to lose a few lb this afternoon- I have a date with my hair dresser....
So haven't been so binge free today - Been snacking consistantly at work ALL DAY LONG - It's not so many calories, but it's def out of control - funny thing is, I've been craving this one food all day, and if I were really trying IE then i would have gone to the store and got it and I bet it would have curbed the binging... Hmmmm
Yesterday was binge free and I stayed in the "allowed number of calories". Whatever that is. The more you research, the more the numbers are going crazy.
sarahslacker, I made the expierence that itīs sometimes better to give in your carvigs if you are carving a special food- otherwise I end up gazing all day...Or wating to eat all day...
Itīs interesting (ok, I think itīs interesting): when I carve a certain food (and I am not emotional carving a thing, there are physical carvings as well) ad I allow myself to eat that food, the carving goes away and I donīt overeat with that food. Maybe itīs sometimes that a carving just shows what your body is missing...Like carving something sweat, something salty....
Ok, I really have problems expressing my thoughts.
All I know is that I since my appetite is gone (thanks to Metformin) itīs harder for me and I eat more. After a meal I am not hungry anymore, but I am not SATISFIED
Hope everybody is having a nice day with some amount of binge free time!
Today is my first day of being binge free. It is a struggle but I am determined. Usually my binges start when I wake up. This morning I woke up with a planned menu and goals. That might be the key to my success is to plan ahead of time what I will eat and stick to it. It is hard I feel like crying but I will not give up on myself anymore.
So not doing so well today either - Feeling really frustrated with myself and I'm still eating - so scared I'm going to gain back the weight that I've lost and feel bogged down by so many different diets jumping out at me it's kind of driving me crazy - It's like should I just let go and let my body "reclaim it's natural rhythm and stop dieting?" or should I just count calories and eat as healthily as I can? Or should I keep doing South Beach? Been feeling really down on myself and KNOW there's a correlation between this and how much I've been deating - so scared I'm going to gain my weight back and my belly still has quite a bit to lose!
Wow, I haven't been able to come in here for quite awhile. BUT -- I'm on day 4 of binge-freeness!!! YAY!! And I've been only going over my calories by 100 every day (I should just up it by a 100).
Congrats to all you binge-free chickies!!!
Now I've just got to work on exercising again.
allycat89 I can't figure out for the life of me what is on the plate next to the broccoli in your avatar. What is it?
Yesterday I made it through my first binge free day. Today is my second binge free day. It is hard regaining control after a week of being completely out of control with binge eating. It feels good to take back control and to stop the binge. Each day is a hard struggle but when I go to bed at night I feel a great sense of accomplishment. I like that feeling a whole lot better than feeling guilty and disgusted with myself after a day of binge eating.
