Anyone who would like to join in on making it through October without any binges is welcome to give and receive some support here!

I know that with the Holidays coming up I could use the support from all of the fantastic people here!

This morning I'm starting up on day 8 without a binge- and I'm hoping I can keep this momentum going through the rest of October! I'm hoping that this month goes a little more smoothly than the last!

I'm glad they don't celebrate Halloween in Germany. They do already sell christmas items in the stores over here, gingerbread and stuff, but it doesn't bother me. It would feel ridiculous to me to buy that stuff in October.

I finally managed to get back on the waggon yesterday, so October started binge free for me!

Today, I had an awfully busy day. I only had breakfast this morning and no time for lunch or a snack. I just came back home (it's almost 6pm here) and I do not even feel hungry. I wonder why, but I think it's wisest to just ignore it and have a healthy dinner.

Ok I'm going to try this.. I am not good at 'not binging'.. I just cant seem to do it.. But it's a new month..

Day 1.... No more binging!

Halloween and candy dont bother me.. It's the 'FOOD' that bothers me.. Pumpkin rolls.. cookies.. yeah....

Here we goooo.....

I'm definitely in. I didn't binge yesterday, and I've been having a rough time of it today so I'm determined not to let that steer me off track.

Starting over... Today wouldve been day 10- im already regretting the binge and I just polished off a snickers ice cream 30 seconds ago. I can't figure out why I continue to do this to myself... But I'm not even waiting until tomorrow. It's only 4:00 but I'm starting over now. Just because I messed up in the middle of the day doesn't mean I should continue. So- it's a new hour and a new chance to be healthy.

Good for you Jessica and Good luck!

Thanks masterptr... unfortunatley I came home and my sweet DH had surprised me and bought home dinner- ( I thought he was going to be working late) it was my regular healthy order-- but I felt like I had to pretend to be hungry and eat the whole thing because I was too ashamed to admit that I had binged earlier... so here I sit- full enough that I may explode, at 4800 calories for the day, ready to burst in to tears, and feeling like I have to hold it all in because I'm so embarrassed that can't tell my husband that I lost control AGAIN.

I am so ashamed and disgusted with myself-- but I do feel safe posting here and venting to at least let off some steam. ugh- way to start off October, right??

well- I need to get over my pity party and move on... whats done is done and I can only move forward from here.

Jessica - it may be a rocky start, but you have all of October left! Hopefully the venting helped you feel at least a little better, but you're right that you can do nothing but move forward. You've got this. Have you identified yet what triggers you to binge?

Do you ever binge on fruits or veggies? There are some days when I just can't stop eating. I justify it by telling myself at least these are foods that are good for me even though I know I'm going way over the calorie limit.

Have been bingeing and dieting for years!!! hate that food has such power over me!!!! Day 2 of being binge free....I will join this Oct. challenge. One day at a time.

2 days without a binge.. 10/4 will be my third day. Lets goooooo!

danzingurl - don't beat yourself up too hard. I hope you feel better today and ready to start over. I once binged before a home cooked dinner at a friend's house. I felt so bad, but I could eat barely anything. I had a few bites and I was in pain. It felt like my stomach was going to burst.

olleharr, yesterday I was having an internal battle with myself over some mashed cauliflower DH made for supper, I just wanted to keep eating it. My mind was trying to justify since it was a veggie, no big deal, but I was already full and luckily recognized it was not healthy behavior, that didn't stop me from taking a couple more bites when i was putting the leftover away...yeeps...it felt like someone else was in control.

I often think there's a fit girl deep inside and fat girl's trying to keep her down...teeny bit crazy maybe...anyway...best to all

UGH bingeing. The one thing stopping me all the time from achieving my ultimate goal. I feel you all. My last binge was exactly 7 days ago and i feel empowered. I believe the longest i ever went without bingeing was a month but for the past few months every other week I would ruin my healthy lifestyle by constantly eating things that were bad for me.

I linked it to drinking and stress. If something was bothering me in the back of my mind, I don't even have to be thinking of it for my subconscious to turn my conscious self to food. and drinking didn't help since that would lead to LATE night face-stuffing events that you normally would only see at county fairs. But alas, im using my birthday month (so no bday cake for me ) to start anew and make a chance. My birthday present to me? Reaching my goal of fitness and not bingeing

(I also find that whenever im feeling too lazy to work out or i get the urge to binge, I come on here to read up so I know im not alone and that usually helps bring me back to reality.)
