  • Thanks for the kind words!

    Lakers - you can keep going, I know you can. I was where you were not too long ago, and if I have made it this far, I know you can too. Hang in there! I'm glad to hear you have made it a week. A week is a big deal too, and you should be proud of yourself!

    I must admit, I had hoped that after 3 weeks, things would be easier and I wouldn't be thinking of binging so often. I was hoping that it was kind of like an addiction/habit, which takes 21 days to break...but I'm not feeling that way right now. I still struggle EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. and it is not an easy fight sometimes. Sometimes I think it would just be easier to binge...but I remind myself how I will feel later. There is nothing wrong with having a serving of these foods I so desire to eat, so I'm trying to allow myself to have them every once in a while to try and control that urge to binge. But man, sometimes I just feel so empty. The only good thing about going on our mini-vaca is that binging while away will be hard. I might overeat/eat off plan, but binging won't really be possible. So the biggest challenge will be Thursday and Friday when we get back. I'm crossing my fingers I can continue to stay strong and stay off the scale until the next week, which I think will help tremendously. Curiosity killed the cat, right?
  • Day #2...hanging on, not OP, but not out of control either. Some progress...
  • I've been good today! No binge eating.

    Beth - so far so good for you! Keep up the good work!
  • I don't have time to write personals (or to catch up reading posts even). I had a bad day on Friday. Junk food got left out, basically every kind I overeat and I went way overboard. Today is day 2.
  • I want to join in as well. I was binge-free yesterday and so-far-so-good today.

    So one day binge-free for me
  • Day 7- I was cooking healthy recipes, wasn't even thinking of junk until after I ate dinner, then I wanted something sweet. I chewed a piece of gum instead!

    Beth - so far so good for you! Keep up the good work!
    Thanks!

    That's great for you!
  • day #2 - so far so good!
  • Today was day #3 and I made it through:
    - Stress at work
    - hearing from someone that I miss horribly that usually causes me to eat
    - not stopping at the grocery store right on the way home for "supplies"

    I'm beginning to think I can do this!
