Ceejay, get your mind off the incident & move on, quickly!!
End of a very tough Day #3, for me.
In other similarly shocking news, my birthday is coming up in less than ten weeks. If, and only if, I maintain my binge-free status until then, it will be the best birthday/Christmas gift ever. (Yes, I am a teeny bit vain & self-absorbed, which is probably why I can't stop obsessing over my big, fat, distended belly. And no, I'm not pregnant.)
Elizabeth, thanks for the encouragement. (They read, too! They're just like us!)
I proclaimed to be healthy yesterday- just to wake up feeling dizzy and weak today. Anyway.
Eating behaviour is more or less ok. I eating more snack- things than I should and I eat not enough "reasonable" meals. Mostly due to the fact the I am donīt want to prepare a lot.
ellis: I hope you are feeling better today!
sweat_pea: Welcome back !!
Tisha: I looked at your ticker a few days ago and realized that you accomplished your first short term goal! Congratulations!!
ceejay52: Ok, forget about it and move on! You can do it!
isthatreallyme: 19 days binge free!! That īs great,
elizabeth28:Uh, a Birthday- challenge!! I guess such challenges can help some of us- and I guess itīs not vain if you want to be the best looking person on your party...(Itīs my party and I am thin if i want to, thin if i want to....).
I am personally not sure if setting a date for weight loss is too much pressure for me or not. Anyway, my Doc set my a very ambitious weight goal for Christmas and I have a pair of very tiny skinny trouser which I want to be able to wear around Christmas.....
missindy: Ok, you messed it up yesterday, but you will do great today!
Ok, enough from me for the moment. I guess I am going back to bed....
I need to be binge free! I am so out of control. I am consistent on exercising and I can spend most of the day eating healthy but then I get to the pm and totally lose it. I just start eating and can't seem to stop. Starting tonight I'm going to start working a craft project and hopefully that will keep my hands busy.
I had another GOOD day yesterday! WOOHOO! 2 binge-free days in a row!
mikelli~Congrats on being consistent on exercising! That is something to feel really good about!!!!
I felt the SAME way a couple of days ago...."out of control". If I did it (locked up my binge beast) YOU can do it! Great idea on starting a craft to keep busy! I crafts! What kind of crafts do you do? Good luck!
Kate~ hope you're feeling better!
sweetpea~Hey! Long time, no hear! I'm SO glad that you're doing well! Please keep posting & staying binge-free!
isthatreallyme~19 days binge free!!!!!FANTASTIC!!! Keep up the good work!!!
elizabeth~You DESERVE a wonderful birthday/xmas gift the gift of being binge-free!!! I KNOW you can do this!
ceejay~welcome back! 7 days binge-free is GREAT! You can do this again.....and even MORE! Together, we are ALL STRONGER !!!! Good luck!
Kate, I love the 'birthday challenge' idea, and you're right, perhaps vanity has little to do with it all. But I'm too sleepy to over-analyze right now, so we'll just have to delve into it some other time... I will say this: Ideally, I'd like for weight-loss to be more of a side effect than a goal; my goal, I'd like to think, is to first & foremost not be affected by negative thoughts, and in the process of doing so, develop new habits. Also: I'd like to fit into my jeans.
Elizabeth, just thought I'd let you know that I also deserve a new laptop, a mini cooper & lots & lots of foreign stock. See what you can do.
Join the club, Elizabeth.
And thank you... you DID make me feel better.
A birthday challenge is a great idea. You CAN fit into those jeans!
mikelli, I hear you. I'm doing so well with my exercising, but I'm gaining weight because my eating is right out of control. I'm in that frame of mind where I think I can eat anything because I'm burning a few extra calories a week.
Elizabeth1 (may I call you that? heh heh), congratulations on getting back on track!! I'm so glad for you... you're such a cheerleader for the rest of us.
Kate, you're still sick... you poor love. You're having a rough time with this, aren't you. I hope today is better than yesterday, and that this "bug" clears up soon!
Ceejay, YAY!! You're back on track!! So glad you were able to move on.
Sweet_pea, welcome back, hon.
isthatreallyme, keep it up, girl!!!
missindy, how are you doing, hon?
Jodi, where are you?
Harpo, ditto!
I'm off to the gym. And I am GOING to eat properly today!!
Good luck to all of us!
Yes I am gaining (I was hoping that it was my TOM). I did have a big lost (10lbs.) in 3 weeks but I think that I have gained back 5 of those lbs. So then my natural pattern is to sabatoge myself and eat and eat.
But today is a new day so far I have been a picture of good health. I am going to spend the weekend with a renewed commitment. I have already decided that I am not going out to dinner (a big weekness for me) and I am going to stay home and try some low-fat healthy recipies. I have never done any different recipies before it is always plain chicken with salad or along those lines. So this weekend I am going to be and angel and stay the course!
CeeJay, big hugs, sweetie... Today is a new day. Dig deep... you know you've got the strength to do this.
Kelli, me, too! I bought a new cookbook this week (actually, I got it at a second-hand store... Anne Lindsay's The Lighthearted Cookbook), and I'm going to try some new recipes this weekend.
I'm glad you had a good day, yesterday!
I had a pretty good day. Not great, but much better. I dropped a couple of the pounds I've put on. Now if I can just get the thought of, "I'm losing weight... now I can eat anything I want!" out of my head...
I've been doing well, keepin that bingey locked securely in his cage! YAY! Yesterday, it was close....I started to eat mindlessly, but I actually stopped before a binge. That's a really GOOD feeling...to start and be able to stop. Especially when the food tastes SOOOOO good! I wasn't even hungry until I tried the first bite. Then, I was STARVING! Does this happen to anyone else??!?!?! It can be a problem when I cook, cause I gotta taste it (quality assurance ) and then it seems to wake up my bingey.
ceejay~Good luck on staying binge-free! I won't binge in "front" of people so going to someone's house does help.
Ellis~ You, my dear sweet Ellis, can call me anything you'd like! Elizabeth1 is ok, I also respond to Liz, Beth , Hey you....... "Pretty good days" are AWESOME!!! AND you lost some weight?!??!?! AND you went to the gym?!?!? WOOOHHOOOOOOHOOOHOO!
WTG! You CAN do this!
mikelli~I gained 8lbs this time for TOM. TOM is pure evil Sometimes it takes me a week after to lose the weight. GOOD for you.....staying in to cook a healthy meal! Good luck for the weekend!
Elizabeth28~ You have a great attitude! BRAVO for banishing the negative thoughts and for not considering weight loss your primary goal! Yep, you DO deserve ALL of the things you mentioned.........and more! When I win the lottery you'll get all of them!
(They read, too! They're just like us!)
I guess such challenges can help some of us- and I guess itīs not vain if you want to be the best looking person on your party...(Itīs my party and I am thin if i want to, thin if i want to....).
That is something to feel really good about!!!! 
crafts! What kind of crafts do you do? Good luck!
