Binge Free Challenge: 3.21.11 - 3.27.11 - One foot in front of the other.
Welcome to the binge-free challenge!!
This is a place where you can come in and talk about binging. Feel free to post about your successes and your struggles and keep track of how many days you've been binge free. You can also vent about anything and everything you feel like getting out. We are here to share our feelings and to encourage and inspire each other.
No negativity! 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!! Please do not hesitate to post your feelings. Jump right in head first!!! We WILL catch you!
Good morning all. I've been battling an urge to get into sweets for a long time now. I've been winning the battle and feeling good about the success but this morning on my walk I just knew I was going to give in and have a cone.
I walked 1.5 hours and as I came up to "The Scoop" I was almost talking out loud to myself about why 'yes' or why 'no' and I had decided to just order a small one........when I arrived at the shop it was NOT OPEN yet!!!
Now how wonderful is that? I had no choice and I made it back home without falling off the wagon........I'm sure I'll be okay for the day now. Sheesh I really do have a guardian angel.
That's awesome Timlin! Sometimes it's just one little thing that needs to change for us to go "Oh. Right. I don't really need to binge afterall." I'm happy that happened for you.
I was on track with my eating and my exercise for the longest time until the end of last year. I finally got down into the lower 200s and told myself it was okay to eat more and not have to exercise as much. I don't know why I thought this would be okay.....maybe it was because of finally fitting into older clothes and feeling a bit better about myself.
It has, of course, backfired. I am now binging like crazy all the time; and the last two weeks have been the worst.
I need to get back on my plan. I need to stop letting food have this ridiculous power over me.
Alright, past 3 days were a fail. It is so hard to break out of that cycle once it gets started....especially when I gained back in a matter of days what took me weeks of hard work and discipline to lose. But this week, I'm kicking it up a notch. I will NOT binge, and I will work out 5-6 times this week (minimum of an hr each time).
I hear ya Born This Way. The past few days have been horrible for me too. I've got so many big milestones coming up in the next couple months, I would love nothing more than to be feeling great when they get here!!
So, I'm gonna use this thread for the first time and try to reach my first mini-goal. 7 binge free days. This hasn't happened in quite some time folks, the world may end if I accomplish this! ha.
I'll jump in too! I haven't been terrible the past few days, no real binges (yay!) but I did go overboard on the junk food and was eating past the point of fullness. Had a great dinner and workout tonight and hoping to get back on track tomorrow!
I need to be in here. I had family in town, and used it as a license to munch on EVERYTHING in sight. We had a cookout, and I ate a million homemade chips and guac, and had a sizeable dessert even though my stomach was SO full from the burger I had just eaten. I feel like I'm constantly battling the urge to eat something loaded with carbs and sugar. :-( I need to kick these cravings so I can get back on track! I was at 125.6 on Friday and because of my terrible weekend I weighed 128 today! Ugh.
Count me in! I had a great success this past week and yesterday went to the movies and most of left the self control at home. I slept off being mad and myself and woke up refreshed and ready to take this day and week head on!
hey tubbaki i know how you feel. for the past few weeks i've been telling myself ok tomorow i will not binge...like yesterday...today it was ok until i went home from school and wanted something seweet for being so good and as soon as i tasted it...bam...i went to two different stores to buy two bags of cookies. and now i have overeaten and i feel so sick!!! i feel like everyone is pointing at me for gaining back...especially my sister who is telling everyone how i got all back but she doesn't want to tell me that in my face i sooo hate her. and she's older than me!
i had my last presentation at school for the rest of the month so i can relax a bit now and as of tomorow i'm really going to try eat better. i got myself p90x...has anyone tried it??? and i've been putting off for so long my elypticall purchase. i think it is about time to get me one, but i have a mentality that if i buy any equipment for losing weight i feel embarrased, because my mind thinks that you can be skinny and slim by only eating right food(=nothing) without any exercise. we'll, you see where that got me...
