We really had a great week last week, didn't we!? Or at least that we had a lot of check-ins and check-ups.....I think if we keep the ball rolling we can really help each other out!

I commit to start TODAY. I might only be committing to not binge TODAY but then I'll come back and commit for tomorrow. So if you are struggling with binge eating, jump aboard. One day, one week, one hour, one minute, if you need support, if you feel like you're on the fence, JUMP IN! We're here for you! WE CAN DO THIS!

One week, I can do it, I just know it. I commit myself and I commit to posting on this thread every day just to reaffirm myself and keep myself accountable. I have to PLAN, plan my meals, plan my exercise and keep myself busy.

Thanks for all your love and support so far, I promise to do the same for all of you. xxoxoxoox Michelle

Hi Michelle, I'm in! I had such a horrible week and weekend last week, so this week is a new week for me. I am going to forget about last week entirely!

I'm also going to stay busy and plan my meals. I'm also going to commit to not making unplanned food stops. Sometimes if i want to binge I'll actually get in my car and drive somewhere to get something. So not this week!

Good luck everyone, let's go!

I'm in. Friday I measure to see how many inches I've lost. So I gotta stick with it this week. Last week was terrible. TOM was really bad.

I'm on my 7th day binge free and i have never felt better! I will credit it to summer and fatsmashers. I tried on my bathing suit and lets just say... no more binging no matter what!! AH!

[Bikini Dreader]

I didnt have any treats yesterday as I promised and I didnt binge or feel like bingeing. I feel like it was the kick start I needed!
I had my weigh in this morning and had gained a pound. Argh. All the more reason to be binge free this week!!

We can do this together.

today marks my 13th day binge free. last week was my first complete week without a binge in a LONG time! of course the day is not over yet. i came dangerously close to binging today! . I was very busy at work today and hardly got to eat anything. got home and started off eating two cinnamon buns and realized i was heading for a binge. i still had a handful of chips and maybe a 1/2 cup of ice cream and those voices started to fill my head that were rationalizing a binge. but then i told myself that i have gone TOO long without binging and have been feeling good. i am done with eating for today, even with all that food i still managed to hit less than 1,600 calories (because like i said i could barely eat today at work). I'm posting right now because I am committing to NOT binge tonight. i'm in the danger zone, but I am going to try my hardest to not eat anymore today!!!

I'm fighting the urge so hard right now. I really want to eat right now. I'm hungry and this is my danger time, right before bed. This is when I usually raid the fridge repreatedly hungry or not. I don't want to give in.

I was very good yesteday but when I went to bed, I couldn't help myself. I made a few visits to the fridge. I ate a 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, a beef patie, an ear of corn, and finally I dove into a 1/2 bad of dorritos. That did the trick but I felt so defeated. This was just a mild binge but hate that I gave in.

I've been pretty good today. This is what I ate: I forgot my oatmeal bar at home so all I had for breakfast was a banana and coffee. Lunch was a piece of lowfat meatloaf, 1 cup mixed veggies, and an apple. Dinner was sushi. Evening snack was 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds. Now I'm fighting the temptation to eat endlessly. I don't know how people can go to sleep hungry. I want to be one of those people. I will keep trying.

hotbikini: how did you do? I hope you were able to resist. It is tough to stop eating before bed. I stop at 8 and go to bed at 10 (I get up very early). I find as long as I dont put anything in my mouth I'm better off. Tea and water only. Maybe try brushing your teeth to get that clean feeling in your mouth. That might help?

I had a good night last night. Didnt snack or binge! Day 2 binge free!!! I'm so happy with myself. I even got off the couch and went to a yoga class. I already did my workout in the morning but I figured a yoga class was a great way to relax rather than watching an hour of TV. I felt really great about my decision. Then I came home and didnt' have any snacks at all before bed (my class ended at 8 so I knew I would be done after that for eating). I'm really motivated to lose a few more pounds before my trip. I hope everyone else was able to stay binge free!

Hi, ladies!
Just slinking in. I hope you don't mind if I join this week... I haven't been in here in ages. I'm fatter than ever, and I just can't seem to get it together.
Thanks for being so inspiring.

[reneeks5]

I'm in! I am going out of town for a weekend w/ my sister this weekend. So I am going to allow myself to eat (and drink..hee hee) on Sat. But that means I have to be really good this week. I walked briskly for 25 minutes today. I am going to try and do it tomorrow and Thursday. Good luck everyone!

[ScooterGirl]

I'm back! Again...

I've finally found something that works! My doctor put me on wellbutrin for depression, and it's just amazing how much better I feel! I don't feel the urge to binge nearly as often! Although we won't talk about a bag of unmentionables that I ate the entirety of this weekend. Other than that though I've been good for like 3 weeks! Not only has it been helping with the urge to binge, but I feel so much less disconnected and grumpy all the time! I'm so happy I found something that works!!!

Ellis: *HUGS HUGS HUGS* It's fine, hun! We all have our tough times! You can do it!

[Kate109]

ELLIS!!!! So good to hear from you again! Welcome back!!
I am quite in the same position- outside of that mysterious waggon for some time.

Ok, last week was quite good, the last two days were crap. Not really binges, but bad choices: too much and too unhealthy. Searching for excuses doesnīt make it better , but I was stressed because my facial pain is back and my Dentist was so friendly to tell that there is nothing he could do for me anymore. And I have a headache and I am dizzy. And I am feeling fat. Thank god I donīt bath myself in self- pity!

Hotbikini: I hope you were able to fight the urge to binge!

Bikini Dreader: Going to a Yoga class sounds great! Are you doing more breathing exercises or "dynamic postures" (donīt know how itīs in english) in your class?

I hope everybody is having a good day with some amount of binge free time!
And Iīll promise Iīll do better tomorrow!

Kate

Bikini Dreader and Kate109 - Thank you for the support and encouragement.

Last night was finally a good night. I resisted the urge to binge pretty well. Before going to bed, I had a small portion of watermellon and herbal tea. Then I did something I didn't expect. I STOPPED!! I didn't eat anything else. I wanted to. I thought about the extra watermellon in the fridge along with other things, but I didn't go back. I'm very proud of myself.

I'm off to the gym now. I've been working out more lately but tonight I'm going to take a step class. It should kick my ***. I'm tired and hungry from working all day, but I'm going to push myself and go.

I've done atkins for a long time and have had some success with keeping my binge beast in a cage. Now, as I'm close to goal, I'm trying to add in healthy carbs and am struggling AGAIN with my horrible binge beast.

I binged 2 days last week after being binge free for almost 3 months.

I know that posting here with all of you is so helpful! together we ARE stronger

Congrats on being binge-free, even if your choices weren't perfect, you DIDN'T binge!!!
