I got day one!!! YAY!! No bingeing, totally on plan, under my calories. I even had an indulgence last night: low fat waffle with sugar free syrup. Just ONE!!! 70 calories!! I've never had just one waffle or pancake. And they are usually doused with butter and 210-calorie per half cup maple syrup. I think I'm going to try to do this again, because it worked. But not starting with chocolate. I've tried that before and it failed. I may try it next with low fat apple pie or cheesecake or something. Does anyone have any suggestions on fixing MAJOR chocolate cravings with minimal calories. I've thought about FF chocolate pudding, and if I ate four of those, it would be 400 calories and 0 grams of fat. A big improvement over eating 2000 calories and over 75 grams of fat in a typical chocolate binge. I don't know why I can control myself with other favorite binge foods, but not chocolate. Why is that? Does anyone know of a way to develop an allergy to chocolate? I think risk of death may be the only deterrent for me . . . but then again, I think there's a reason behind that phrase, "death by chocolate." Does anyone remember that cooking show? I used to watch it all of the time when I was younger.

Day 2 , (5 days left) Last night was the hardest for me because I stayed up late and have a craving for something sweet and plus I got hungry and did not get to drink all my water for that day (normaly 64 oz). I ate only 1 tbsp of penut butter and I had NO binge YAY!

Thank goodness for this thread. I had a fairly healthy lunch out with a girlfriend, but it was pretty calorie-heavy, so I've got to be careful with my dinner. I just got home, and was about to have a little binge when I saw this thread again. PHEW!! Thank YOU!!!

Harpo, good going, hon! I don't remember that show, but it sounds amazing.

Snoody, congratulations to you, too!! It's so important to stay hydrated, isn't it?

HarpoChico, for the chocalate fix you can try 1 chocalate protein shake a day, fat free chocalate puddings, umm bluebell sugarfree icecream (1/2 cup, put this in a small cup because it makes it seem like you have a lot of icecream). We made it everybody, keep holding on we are ALMOST there!!!

Day 3, the night time is the hardest for me. I had that feeling where you start to crave something and you have to have it Now, but I did not give IN!! 4 days left

Binge free 2 whole days now!! I really feel in control. But the weekend always gets a little tough.

Snoody, I'll try that protein shake. I've thought about protein shakes before, but now there's a good reason to try them. I might try the ice cream, but I love bingeing on ice cream.

Great job everybody!!!!

well, im out for officially making it a week, but i can still try and make the next 4 days as good as possible. So far, so good.

Hi everyone, I did not eat healthy at all today, but I did not binge (I am just proud about this) I will get back on a better eating healthy plan starting tomorrow. I am still in the challenge and I am still binge free !!

Binge-free day for me yesterday!!

Keep at it, girls... we can do this!

Snoody, get some vitamins in your body today, hon.

3 days!!! YAY!!! I even had another small victory over chocolate yesterday by going out and buying only an individual package of pecan delights! And I fit them right into my plan (although I did go over calories, I did an extra 1/2 hour workout). Posting my triumphs is a good way to remind myself how much happier I am when I'm in control and how awful I feel when I falter. I need to come to this thread when that binge tingle starts seeping in.

Continued luck, girls!!

hello everyone, I ate a salad form wendy's today which made me full (I was suprise at this). I hardly get full from salads. I got the new southwest salad and boy do they give you a lot of stuff on it. I will mostly be nibbling on my salad today and my chips that I bought earlly. We are almost finish!!

you girls rock!!! i slipped up on day 2 but have been doing fine since. keep up the great work!!

ugh. I'm on track with my calories, but I'm making bad food choices. I could use a kick in the pants, please.

Congratulations to all of you... you're doing great!!
