I have good intentions to start all over again every Sunday. I do well until Thursday or Friday (my work week is sun-wed). I try to have ONLY one cheat meal so I'm not deprived but end up binging for the rest of the day... or night. I ended up eating a whole box of donuts today.... all 12 of them And that's just the beginning. I end up feeling so full that I feel like I'm either going to pop or throw-up. I just lay there waiting for the fullness to pass since I just feel too full to even move (which would be the best thing). I end up feeling guilty and mentally beat myself up.

I need just need a way to control the night time cravings. I'm like a zombie.... only I prefer food, not brains (i put dracula since i couldn't find a zombie pic... hahaha).

I wish I had the willpower or a special pill that would make me eat to live, not live to eat.

Don't take that first "binge" bite. I don't eat donuts because I know I can't eat a donut without having a binge. Do you keep a journal? This may be helpful to determine binge triggers.

I did keep a food journal when I was going to weight watchers. I know I should keep one and when I do, I'm honest and make the best choices. Then I sometimes fall off the wagon and stop writing down bad choices.... just like I prefer to eat alone where no one can see me or comment on what I'm eating ("You're eating again?!?!").

Maybe you would do well on a zigzag program. (Calorie Cycling) It allows you to plan your calories to eat more on certain days, like the weekend when you are off work and eat less on other days during the week.

i just joined WW and am going to make monday my weigh in night so I won't be wanting to binge since I weigh in.Most people who don't weigh in after the weekend eat more over it
