Hi everyone

I am craving junk food and have been bingeing most of the weekend. don't seem to be able to get it under control right now. No real reason just feeling a bit blah.

catch you soon

It's not Monday for me yet (in California), but I'm starting now anyway. Good luck, ladies! Here's to a normal, satisfied, binge-free week.

Good morning Ladies!

Jepp, I am joining this thread as well!
I already made a bit of Monday binge free- wasnīt that hard because I overslept today.

But I am celebrating my FIRST MONTH BINGE FREE today!
1 month, 8 pounds, 2 exams and nearly one dress size.
I am seriously thinking of buying myself a not usefull, not food and not reasonable priced gift....

And big thanks to everybody here on the board- for help and encouragement and all that stuff!

Ok, letīs spend this Monday binge free!

Have a nice day!
Oh, nearly forgot:

Kate (just started to rain here)

i don't know why i sometimes don't get notifications of new posts even tho i am subscribed for immediate notification :?

well done kate on 1 mth BF that's incredible. you are such an inspiration. you definitely need to celebrate with a non food gift or treat or pampering for yourself. you go for it!!

monday is over for me 11pm here and i have been out of control. i managed to pull it back a little. i was drinking and i corked the bottle up and put it away. i still had dessert but not too much however it was still a binge. i won't describe it all but take my word for it i demolished a whole pile of stuff today. didn't have any proper meals. just kept eating all day and no veges or healthy stuff to speak of. oh hang on i had fruit. most of the stuff i had today was carbs. 90% carbs and fat i'd say.

oh well bring on tuesday

Thanks for starting this, Harpo.

I've been binging for a week, and have gained three freakin' pounds. I am IN!!
Good luck to all of us this week!

Sweet_pea, regarding your posts... you won't get notification of new threads. And you won't get notification of new posts if you've gone to look at a thread but haven't posted. (didja get that? heh heh)

Kate, you are AMAZING, girl!!!

Congrats Kate!!! That's wonderful!!!! You go!

Here's to a great, Binge free week for us all

Hi Everybody!

to all of the new chickies who've joined us!
I hope this thread can help you find the support and encouragement you need!

I had a rough time yesterday. I was on continuous graze mode !
I HATE that feeling----constantly thinking of food, eating almost non-stop yet never feeling full! On the positive side, I did only graze on low calorie, "healthy" stuff.

Today, I woke up with food on my mind. So, I ate a really healthy breakfast but consumed 500 calories. It helped. I don't feel as food crazy now.

Ellis~ I'm so glad to see you back on this thread! You can do this!


Kate~ Awesome job on ALL you've accomplished this last month!!! You certainly DESERVE a well earned gift!


Sweetpea~ Hang in there! WTG on pulling back out of a binge!


Harpo~Thanks for starting the thread with humor ---I especially enjoyed the frying pan and kick butt!



Wishing everybody freedom from food demons

thanks ellis! yes i did understand. but earlier yday i went in and posted to 3 threads. i got notifications for new posts in 2 of them but not in this thread and i don't know why. it's weird. and it happens a lot. never mind LOL i found it now

elizabeth i know about continuous graze mode. i've been doing the same. i've decided i will go shopping in a few minutes for the foods i normally eat and start with my usual breakfast (albeit at 11am ) and go from there.

also i am now asking myself my key question. My new mantra has to be what would an emotionally intelligent person do?

And then I have to do it.

because quite frankly i've been an emotional idiot. going to bed too late, eating and drinking badly and not taking care of myself...

Tazah and Cassie, I didn't welcome you! Welcome!! It's great having you join us.

Sweet_Pea, that happens to me, too. I usually just go to User CP at the top to see if I have new posts.
I like your new mantra.

Elizabeth, thanks to you, I have not binged yet today. Thank you SO much for the boost, hon. I was seriously contemplating a binge until I read your post. I must admitted, I was a little ANNOYED with you initially, but I got over it.
I hope you're having a good day, too!

How's everyone else doing? All making a conscious effort NOT to stuff your faces, I hope!

Can I ask a quick question? What would you consider an actual binge? Would it be just overeating one meal or would it be overeating for the day?

It's whatever YOU consider a binge. It could be anything from a full blow-out day of eating everything in sight, or it could be just eating some one thing that you didn't want to eat.
It's all about you, hon.
