Yes, I'm gonna start it! I just did the cyber purge over at the purge thread, and here I am ready to start a new week, clean and binge free. Posting and reading these boards will really help keep me on track. So here goes.

B- whole wheat toast with FF peanut butter/ SF jelly and a tangerine
L- Soup and sandwich, turkey on whole wheat? maybe some grapes.
D- I'm considering something on the Foreman grill with some kind of veg and side salad.
L- I'll be working overnight tonight and need a healthy lunch- possibly dinner leftovers or big salad.
S- if I need a snack, I'll bring some weight control oatmeal for that 4 am rut I'll need to get me over the hump.

E- Need to workout today, but have been good throwing some exercise in during work downtimes. I work on the 6th floor, and recently have been taking the steps rather than the elevator. Actually I've only done it once, but tonight my goal is to do it twice. And work in some squats and lunges and maybe some IV bag bicep curls. Maybe I'll dust off my old pedometer and wear it to work tonight.

Planning is the key! I'm one of those anal-retentive people who, if I have a plan, or a goal, I have something to work from. Hope to get to know you all better, hope to check in daily, I want to be accountable, I want and need the support and I want to lend support to you as well. Join me and let's do this!

So far, so good, 4 hours binge free...and feeling full enough I can last at least a few more hours now...LOL LET'S DO IT!

I'm in! I read your post in the Cyber Purge, and have to say CONGRATULATIONS for picking yourself up and starting today fresh! That's the only way to do it! I am on my 6th binge-free day after a pretty rough month, so I'll be here to keep myself and others accountable...not to mention I gave up bingeing for Lent, so I've got awhile to go! We can do this...good luck!

Such a hard promise to make but I'm in...I have to really watch those little bites and snacks from the fridge throughout the day!! Those can often lead to a meal before a meal!! Just one week right??

One week, one day, one hour, one minute at a time....whatever you need. And we'll be here for you whenever you need. I'll be happy just to get through the DAY. Especially with working nights, I know I eat just to stay awake. Glad to see some check ins!

Meg excellent work, six days binge free! So proud of you! Especially since we're just coming off of a weekend! So you did well over the w/e! If I can get through this week, the REAL challenge will be sat/sun, especially my sat night bowling league, beer drinking. But by then, I'll be feeling clean and healthy. But for now, just one day at a time. One day at a time, one day at a time.....(my mantra) LOL we have a team motto, "I'm on a drinking team with a bowling problem".....

Today i'm back at day one

Last week was rough

Going to start getting dinner ready...did great today now just have to watch portions at dinnertime. Since I've had such a good day...dinner should, I hope, be easy. I just have to remind myself what a good day I had!!

I can't believe that I'm heading on 2 months binge-free! Following the Low Carb lifestyle has really helped me to control my cravings and to get my eating under control!

Barb

Agreed totally, Phoenix.

Doing okay so far. Actually not eating enough, which isn't good either.

Alright! Good job ladies.

So far so good. Day 1 binge free. partly because I'm sick and I never tend to binge when I'm ill. But here's hoping I keep it up tomorrow.

ok...I am in....I have a 35 days day challenge (binge free)...but a week sounds good too...today was my first day, and it whent well...no binging...yet ! lol
the evenings are killing be...it is so hard just not to think about delicious food !! i wonder how I can get it out of my mind...

My week hasnt started off too badly, altho today is better then yesterday, its at night when im watching tv that i get cravings for anythi fattening lol, just need to take my mind off food, dont help when my mum comes and brings things up to me, last night she bought me and sister some pizza, it wasnt fair she knows im trying to diet but gets upset when i say i dont want it and arguements with her are just not worth it, i could do so much better if i lived by myself

I'm in too!! I actually have 1 week 1 day under my belt already and ready to make in 2 weeks! My extra challenge I think is going to be in about a week or so which is when PMS eating hits usually, sometimes it's a knockout, I suspect that may have part of my problem last month, maybe not the whole thing but surely it played a part. Stay strong everyone! Let's do this!!!

Hi All!
Well, I REALLY wanted to binge a bit ago. But, unlike the other times, when I would have just given in, I sat myself down, thought about it, ate my healthy lunch, popped in a piece of gum, and came here. I KNOW that I don't really want to do this, and I REALLY don't want to have to report I did this to all of you I am loving the accountability I feel here, and I think it saved me today. Plus, today will make a full binge-free week for me, and I don't really want to start back at day 1! So, the feeling is dissipating as I chomp away at my gum...lol...I'll check back in tonight...hopefully, no, DEFINITELY, to tell you that I successfully silenced the binge monster!
Have a great day!

I can't really count yesterday as a success, even though I didn't binge per se. Too much sugar to say yesterday was OK. Well.... I guess since I didn't binge, I should count it as binge-free.... though I didn't stay OP... Hmm...

I fought of a MAJOR urge to binge last night... I finally talked myself out of it and into writing a paper due this week. Once I occupied myself with the paper I kinda forgot about the other stuff. But it took a good 2 hours battling with myself to get to that point... It was tough!

Ok, considering all that, I'll say yesterday was Day 1 binge-free. I was able to fight off a big one.... I think I deserve to claim victory.
