This is my first post on this site... I keep reading your Chicks in Control and feel like I could learn and maybe help a bit too...I am starting this week by earning my Day 16!

Last night, I didn't have the urge to binge. But then, I ate my dinner. I had that nice after dinner satisfied feeling...and I wanted more! I wasn't hungry, but I just had this urge to feel full full full. It was so weird that my trigger for a binge was feeling satisfied.
Today was supposed to be day 8, but alas I'm counting it as day 1, b/c I did have a mini B yesterday.
It wasn't anything I can't make up for, but it was still mindless/emotional eating that consisted of me picking at things, then that not doing it, and grabbing something else.
I have been MIA ladies, however I am on day 12. I guess I just got wrapped up in too many threads.
I have found that if I write everything down.... it helps with the binges. All of these years I did not think it would help..... I thought it was a little silly and cliche...... but just knowing I am going to have to write it down (even if I am not counting the calories in it)..... seems to help.
I did it! I avoided a binge! I was getting bored (one of my binge triggers), and I kept thinking I wanted to eat. So I sat up and said aloud, "I am not hungry, I had dinner an hour ago". And I figured, I'm sick with a cold! I can't even *taste* the food! So, because I was too sick to work out, I played some video games and read, and was able to keep away from the food.
HI everyone. Have just been lurking lately, since I hadn't been bingeing. BUT, I lost it on Sunday, and ate half a box of chocolates. I stopped myself from eating the rest, ( a small victory) . I am so grateful to have a safe place to admit this. It was just after a big exercise session, (an hour of cross country skiing) and was hungry and tired. stopped at the grocery store to pick up some healthy bread (in the city is the only place to get this sprouted grain bread) and lost it to a binge item. ARGGG.
I have been eating better, and deserve better. So Monday was day one again for me.
Binge-free challenge ~ Jan. 11 - 17
