D -- I definitely know what you mean about the calm after a binge storm (so to speak). Day 1 for me usually difficult, but days 2-4 aren't so hard. It's around day 5 or so that the urges creep back in.
It's Day 2 today! I was down a pound this week even though I had my mini-binge on Tuesday. I know it would have been more had that not happened, but I'm not going to dwell on it!
Have a good day everyone!
