I haven't done this for awhile (and I went through a period of having my binges more controlled) but currently I've been under stress and I keep resorting to food for comfort. I think coming here will help me, it seems when I write about it the urges lessen. I also feel like sticking to goals when I tell people on MFP about them. For example, today I wanted to binge... I was tired, and hungry. I made some dinner which wasn't low calorie, but I resisted the urge to continue eating. I did not overeat today.
I'm going to make some tea tonight and finish homework, I'll stay away from the food.

I made it through my first Saturday being serious about weight loss! There was no binge, and I stayed within my calorie goals. Thanks for everyone's support0

Did a great job adjusting to meal plans changing on the fly today. Restocked my trigger foods yesterday and had one serving of two of them without going crazy. I do feel like they have less power over me now that I'm making having them in the house a requirement. It gets rid of the "If i eat it all today I won't have to worry about maybe eating it tomorrow" excuse because I know I'll make myself go buy more.0 -

I overate last night, but I never lost control and stopped myself before it turned into a full-on binge. Feeling strong and powerful today!0 -

I've been off MFP for way too long, lost control when not accountable to others, even if only in a virtual support group, so starting new.

Been away for a bit. Went away for the weekend. Knew these would be cheat days. However, I let my last cheat day become a binge. It's OK. I'm not ashamed, I will not punish myself. I never thought I would be "cured" from binge eating; but reducing them down to 1 every 2 months is something I can live with at least. I was however naive in thinking I could binge once and not have the urges return. But I'm back at it now. Definitely going to just attempt for maintenance. I have the big bad medical school boards quickly approaching, which now means 14 hour study days; lots of stress and anxiety. It is honestly the most important exam I will probably ever take, so if I can manage maintenance at this time, I will be happy! Hope everyone has been well!

I was gifted some AMAZING baked goods today (because my birthday is tomorrow!) and I am SO EXCITED about them but kind of scared they are going to trigger me. I got them in the mail and immediately put half in the freezer (they even came with instructions on how to freeze/thaw them which was nice) so I have a smaller quantity immediately available.0 -
Happy birthday kadizia!

I am reframing what I'm considering a binge. Since I'm on a very strict diet program right now, I've been considering anything I eat off plan a binge. But yesterday I went off plan but I did it in a controlled manner because I wanted to do it. So, as long as I can maintain that control, I'll deal with the going off plan part separately if this is what it takes to keep me sane about it all.0 -

Last night was pretty bad (roughly double my maintenance calories). I did log it all, but I spread it out over the next week to make it look a little less scary. I need to get back on track before I leave for vacation next Thursday, because I know I'm going to overindulge then. At least I'll be surrounded by people at all times, so no opportunities for secret bingeing!0
