Hi chickies!! Welcome to the binge free challenge!! You can come in here and post your weekly successes and struggles and keep track of your binge free days. You can also vent about anything and everything you feel like getting out. This is a positive thread, so I have to enforce the "be careful about being too negative" rule. We are here to share our feelings and to encourage and inspire each other. We are strong chicks and I KNOW we all can do this!! And we don't have to do it alone, we have each other to get us through the rough times.
ALL chicks are welcome -- no one is excluded! If you are trying to lose weight, not trying, maintaining, recovering from an eating disorder, in the midst of one, or have ANY kind of problem with food, we would love to have you join us!!
If anyone has any questions or concerns, or you just need to talk privately, don't hestitate to PM me.
Hi! Today is day 7 for me too! A whole week binge-free (if I can stay on plan today) - not long, but I am feeling very in control : and feel like I can do this for a long time.
After a disgusting weekend I am so ready for this!! I NEED to prove to myself that I can go more than 1 day without a binge, I hope its ok to jump on the bandwagon with you ladies!!
So far so good, though Ive only just had breakfast ; ) Ive planned, planned planned for today. I know exactley what Im going to eat and when. Im also going to the gym for an hour tonight. Im making sure I get some protein at lunchtime to stop me from wanting to binge later, H2B is also on board, he has hidden all of his fatty snacks around the house. Heres to a good week!!
Morning gang, it sounds like we are all kicking this weekend off right! I hate to say this, but I'm glad DH is back at work today so I don't have to be a witness to any more of the food fest, I need a break for seeing someone wolf down tons of snacky stuff! Whew!

Today is day 1 for me. I'm new to this forum, but not to the site. I also just had breakfast. I'm going to take the time now to plan out the whole day. That is a great idea to plan exactly what and when.
I did very well for two whole weeks about 1 month ago, then PMS kicked in and I never recovered. I planned in my WW journal the whole week last week, but just added onto it when I ate more.
I am so determined to make this work.
Last night I came reallly close to a binge after having unplanned cake. But I didn't do it for some reason ...I think it was this thread!
So I wasn't on plan yesterday, but my calories were maintenance-level...
Good Job Mongoose and Miriam Anne!!!! Both of those things are some of my down falls I would have a hard time walking away from them, but you guys did so that shows some great will power!! As for me I am on day #3!! I am so excited. I went to weight watchers last night and I was so afraid I would have to pay because I am a life time member and I was just sure I had gone over my two pound limit, but I weighed in at exactly the highest I can be, so I did not have to pay but it was a little discouraging to see a gain even though I knew it was coming, but it made me realize that my weight is slowly creeping back up on me and now I am more determined than ever to get back down!! So good luck ladies we are doing so well already this week!!!
Great job on resisting temptation Mongoose and Miriam Anne!
Day 1 completed without any binges, so I am pretty chuffed with myself! Day 2 and Im feeling good!!
Great job passing up the cake Mongoose and Miriam Anne for passing on brownies! Yay! That's awesome!
Congrats on Day 2 Pigginpodgey!! You should feel chuffed with yourself!
Worleygirl, good job getting back to WW and being on Day 3! I'm glad you didn't have to pay at WW and how smart to get back to it and get everything under control before things get too far out of hand! You should be proud of that!
Day 69 here for me, and I'm feeling good and happy this morning. Yesterday was one of those RARE easy, comfortable days where I never really had the urge to binge and meal times were healthy and tasty and completely satisfying! I wish I could program myself to have those days EVERY DAY!
Thanks Josephine!!! I do feel better about myself and feel like I have some will power now. I even did something out of character last night. Tomorrow is my birthday and my mom always cooks our favorite dish for our birthday ( I am turning 28 and no longer live with her, but it is tradition ) So last night I told her I wanted grilled chicken salad and please no cake....she and I both about flipped out...ha. I normally use the occasion to just go all out but not this time. It felt really good to be making better decisions again. I feel like I did when I got motivated and first joined weight watchers.
I do not see how you have made it 69 days that is absolutely AMAZING. I admire you so much. I hope to be able to say that one day, oh about 66 days from now. You are truly and inspiration. Do you have an suggestions or hints about how you have been able to do this?
