Growing momentum. Been sticking to my plan and gaining confidence every day I do which has led to less binges.0 -

I made it through the weekend without binging. I am counting today, because so far I have no inclination to do so, (I'm having dinner late though - and I haven't had dessert yet, but I might have less than I "scheduled" and will update the diary to match. I did overeat yesterday, but I've been low enough on calories the other days this week to absorb it, and it was never a binge situation, just an, "I'm hungry, I'm eating," situation. I've also prepared my food for this week (portioning out vegetables and cereal) so no "scrounging" (at work anyway) in the foreseeable future. Good luck all.0 -

I was a bit of an emotional mess tonight and I went to the kitchen. My husband was with me and trying to help me find something appropriate to eat while not overdoing it. I'm proud to say that I settled on having a hot chocolate and left the kitchen for the night. Yay

I binged on pizza today. It wasn't as bad as it could be, but I went into auto-eat mode and kept taking slice after slice of pizza. I was able to stop at 5, but I can barely remember eating them - it was just automatic. I wasn't in touch with my stomach - the pizza was just SO good that I lost control.
But I eventually stopped. My husband and I agreed to a new strategy for pizza nights - serve and pack the rest away in containers in the fridge before we even have our first bite. Hopefully that will help.
Le sigh.0 -
Acacia2India - Sounds like a solid plan. Good luck.

So, apparently this is retain water week. Despite being under my calories I've put on 2/10 of a pound per day. That's alright though - it'll drop at a drastic rate later. (as long as I don't succumb to the "EAT ALL THE THINGS" that invariably happens.) Hormones are annoying. Also, I never had the ice cream Monday night - was too busy playing a video game to get it. Had some last night though - so good - and kept it under 100 grams. woot.
In other news, I've been binge free for a week now. Very proud of myself. Every time I open the fridge or cabinet, I see the fruit preserves (apricot is amazing) or peanut butter staring at me. I also made it through wally world's bakery section (three times in one day) without buying food I couldn't afford to binge on when no one was looking. Being broke has some benefits I guess.
You dig a hole deep enough, and you eventually find you have enough dirt left to make some steps. Slow going, but it works.

I did give in to some temptation yesterday but it was still controlled, smaller amounts than I would normally have, and I didn't feel bad afterwards.0 -

I'm sorry you had a rough night. But you NEED to eat. You really do. An apple with something for protein and a side of forgiveness.

Binged today.
We're approaching a big change in our lives and I'm feeling a loss of control.
Tomorrow I will focus and do better.0 -

Well, was doing ok, but last night... Ugh. I was nauseated all day, but was hungry, and then just wouldn't stop. At least I feel better this morning. I'm not buying more peanut butter or preserves today though. My first counseling appointment is Monday.0 -

Another crummy evening. I simply cannot have yummy crackers or pita chips in the house. I had bought both because we had company come over and where do you think the leftovers went I was feeling really sorry for myself but it is a nice sunny morning so I am going to head out for a jog to try to lift my spirits. 0 -
