    I am new to this forum but not to site. Been gone for a while.

    I am so happy because today I did not binge. I usually binge everyday. That's how you gain 40 lbs in 4 months like I did. I ate a reasonable amount of food and I actually feel good about it.

    It just blows my mind that a human stomach can hold as much food as I usually consume on a daily basis.

    Today was the start of a new day. Sounds like an old cliche but its something that needed to be done. One day down and thousands more to go! Gotta have a sense of humor about it. If I dont I would crack!!

    I read a book about compulsive eating and it actually did not help me out that much at all. It was all pretty basic stuff or so I thought.

    Well..I'm new here... I'll be surfing around. Take Care!

    Dear Love Goddess:

    I know how you feel - I too am on my first day of eating properly. I am proud of myself and it really wasn't that hard.

    I kept thinking to myself "I'll never weigh this much again".

    I was out of control with my binge eating for the last couple of months. I was even eating when I was already full.

    I hope you come back and stay in touch.

    Congratulations to you for having a binge free day!

    Back to sanity from my month or two long binge as well. Geeze what causes that? I just felt worse and worse, then i would get out of breath just to do simple chores around the house. Okay, that was it, back to reality of healthy eating. I have been on program since monday and i feel better already. I would eat too even when i was full. I swear i went two months without knowing hunger, because i was constantly grazing...bad grazing, sweets and carbs grazing.
    Glad to be back on track.

    Wow Stacy - you are doing great - it seems unreal when we get off track and just eat and eat.

    I know we can do it!

    I was just thinking it would be nice to have something and I thought - no, I will look on-line and see if there are any updates - sure enough - your's was here. So, you have been my inspiration!

    Thank you.
