    First day on this challenge a success! I feel like posting on here is a real help, just having a little mini goal to post positively here certainly helps!

    Another close call last night. I feel like I'm going to end up caving one of these times :/

    Be strong! Don't give permission to The Binge! You can do it! :)

    - yup - know what you mean. its almost like one only have a finite supply of willpower... and you use it to fight the binge, and then you just run out....and the binge wins the round... But keep strong! 12 days is such a fantastic run - its almost 2 weeks!

    Started this day with really good intentions to not let this roll continue, but they went to crap. I even had a partner in crime for this binge - my husband - why did that make it seem okay at the time?

    Fell apart yesterday afternoon, and gave in to the Beast. I am determined to pull myself together, and get back on track today.

    I definitely overate yesterday but didn't binge. Do you guys find that it's hard sometimes to tell the difference? I went over my calories for today (but only by 500, so I basically maintained today) but I went to a social lunch thing and then had a pizza night with my fiance. I basically ate one slice of pizza and two little party sliders more than I'd planned to, but they were really good! And I didn't just wolf them down without tasting them. However it was really hard to stop myself from eating a pound of trail mix after eating that extra pizza slice...but I did it!

    Grr, just started, and that is so frustrating, especially when I know not to do it!

    I think what's considered a binge really depends on the individual person and their own situation.

    For me at least, I don't think of binges in terms of a number of calories but rather a binge for me is when I find myself eating without a feeling of control, eating extremely quickly, and feeling strong guilt after eating an excessive amount. Often times, I'll go into hiding for the rest of the day after a binge and will just want to be left alone. Sometimes I find myself eating 4,000+ calories, but maybe I was celebrating and I felt fully in control of the situation and thus I don't consider it a binge. I'm not sure if that made any sense at all, but I hope it helps!

    I totally agree. For me it is much more about the feelings and emotions before, during, and after eating, than about how much or what I ate.

    Went out with some friends and got a little drunk. Had that feeling of "Oh I've already screwed up my diet with beer. What difference will some more food make?" I'm feeling terrible right now. :(

    I see what you mean. There is usually some kind of moment if I've just overeaten at a party where I'm just kind of like EFF IT and then it becomes a binge, but sometimes it's not so clear! anyways I didn't even feel an urge to binge yesterday which is awesome!
