I was binge-free yesterday although I did indulge in snacks late last nite after our a/c went out. It was 90 degrees INSIDE of my house! I think this hot weather woke up my binge-beast but I tried to subdue him with healthy snacks. I'm hoping the high temperature helped burn some fat.......yeah, right!
angiepants~WOW! 1 week binge-free! WOOOOOOHOOOOOO
Congrats! you rock!
lealee~congrats on staying below 2000 calories for so long--almost a month! That is really a victory! You should be proud of yourself for the low calorie intake AND the consistent food journaling. WTG!
to everyone! Best wishes for a good, happy, and COOL binge-free day!
Hey!! I got weighed and lost another 3 pounds. So the no overeating/binging has paid off. It does feel great to know i have some control. so my next goal is to go another week. My boyfriend is taking me out to dinner tomorrow. ******! I want to get something healthy, but i know when i'm ordering i'll be like anything fried please! But i'm going to try, there ya go a new goal, get something healthy tomorrow.
Congrats to all the binge free ladies, and to all those who aren't, don't give up!!!

Wasnīt on board the last days, but I am proud to report that I had spent the last two days binge free!!
Elizabeth: Unfortunately, the german hot weather isnīt burning fat- seems to do quite the opposite. In the midth of the day, when itīs really hot, I look like that: You know, i tend to be a bit swollen....
Congratulations to all who are binge free- and a to those who arenīt.
Whew! I made it, another binge-free day! It was tough last nite. I wanted to mindlessly eat SOOOOOO badly! UGH! My dh was like an eating machine. Everytime I turned around he was eating something good. I love the man, but last nite I didn't like him much---he eats what he wants, when he wants and is virtually fat free!
Ok, the truth is that he DOES exercise quite a bit and lifts seriious weights. So, I have no reason to be jealous!
Kate~WTG on being binge-free! YAY you!!!
I know what you mean about feeling puffy!
ssgtswife33~Congrats on being binge-free for over a week! I agree with you that planning can be VERY helpful! I really don't plan on specific foods but I do make a daily plan regarding calories consumed. That seems to work well for me, for now. I would like to eventually get into the scheduled meals, planning thing more.

It's really, really tough for me to go out to eat and still be "good". Good luck and much strength with your dining out! Remember, you've done so well! Just ask yourself, "is this really worth it?"
I start counting days and hours: two exams to go (Monday ans Wednesday) and then I have 3 month no lecture, no exam....NOTHING. Ok, a bit learning for the final exam next year. And a few non- law projects. But: HOLIDAYS!!! since nearly 6 years the first real holidays without having to write an essay, feeling bad because donīt writing essay but should write essay, feeling bad because of not finishing law school.....First well- earned holidays since years. I am so looking forward to it!!
72 hours to go!!!
I had a rough day yesterday. I didn't "binge" but I did eat too much, kinda grazed alllllll day . I was horrified to discover that my scale was up 5lbs. Yes, I know it isn't possibly FAT, just water, but it is still makes me feel like doggie do-do. I resolved to be VERY VERY good today. Sigh, then DH hits me with a surprise. He wants to take me to this really great buffet! Not one of those cheapie buffets---one with really tasty high-quality stuff.
I tried to resist, but he really, really wanted to go. I was terrified . It felt like I was giving my binge-beast the keys to my car and saying, "go ahead, drive however you want, that's what insurance is for!"............then watching in horror as the beast left tire marks down the street and knocked over a few mail boxes on the way out of the neighborhood! Oh wait, that wasn't my beast, it was my teenaged neighbor!
Anyhow, I went to the buffet and limited myself to ONE plate of very good food. that was my goal. If I can fit it on the plate, it is mine! Ha! I strategically stacked my food to ensure that I got the most possible on my plate.
But that was all I ate. I didn't return to the buffet, even when I heard several food items SCREAMING my name!
I am proud of not returning to the line of food! I resisted! WOOHOO! Sure, I would have done better to stay home and eat a lite lunch. But I traveled to the land of great temptation (AKA buffet) and left without TOO much damage! I didn't even eat ANY dessert!
I hope everyone is having a good binge-free weekend!
WTG Elizabeth! sounds like you only gave the binge beast a glance at those keys! to me he only has the keys if you LOSE control. you didn't you stayed within your personal limits and OMG no dessert!! WOW I am impressed.
BAD weekend for us...We cooked outside and I made lots of good stuff inside too (hehe no food can be mentioned here) and I ate wayyy to much for Sat and Sun. on Fri hubby said I hadn't had a "treat day" for myself lately (which i do once a month) so he took me to get my treat... did good that day till the next morning when he says "Hey its beautiful outside". I know those words are followed by "do we have charcoal" BUT I still think I did ok because I ate light breakfasts and a HUGE lunch then a light dinner on both days. AND i really really really wanted some beer but after a couple of drinks of one can I said "NO I WON"T DO THIS" this is 100 calories a can and I WON'T DO IT. I poured it out and got water.
I also walked an extra mile on the old treadmill last night. So i will not consider this a binge...just a temporary loss of self control LOL
Hope you all survived the weekend and see you on the new weeks thread.

Thanks Lealee! Yeah, I just shook the keys at my binge-beast to torture it!!!
It sounds like you have a good weekend AND you did GREAT, imo, in restraining yourself! WTG on passing up on the beer and on walking on the treadmill!
you rock! 
to everyone! Best wishes for a good, happy, and COOL binge-free day!
You know, i tend to be a bit swollen....
