    But it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been, so today was kind of a success :)

    I lost control for a while today but was able to recognize it and I'm fighting it. I've buried myself in my bedroom tonight so I can have the upper hand. Folding laundry sucks but I'll appreciate it on both fronts tomorrow.

    I was like you today @Pudding1980 - I ate more than usual but it was planned and I stopped without bingeing. I definitely felt the urge to binge and knew I had some junk food available but I resisted and then fell asleep (carb coma?). When I woke up, I was very full and had no desire to eat and did my exercise for the day!!!

    Hi friends! I know I've been MIA for the last week. I had what might have been a binge on Sunday the 26th and have been kinda gobsmacked by it sense....mainly because I am still not sure if it is actually a binge or not. It's not like it was before, but it was definitely more food than I needed or planned. So since I can't define it...it feels more genuine to call it a binge instead of continuing a streak that didn't feel totally genuine.

    The good news is that I am getting to the point that I am not sure...and before, it was always a full fledge fall down binge. So, I am gonna focus on that. I am also struggling with maintenance. I realize I find comfort in being in the weight loss phase, so I am having a hard time truly moving into maintenance and stopping losing weight.

    I am having trouble defining my binges or almost binges now too. You're right - I think that's a good thing too. I decided that high-calorie overeating (that is not quite binging) will still be logged as binging for me for the same reason you mentioned. And good luck staying healthy with maintenance :)

    I just did basically the same thing - just went for a kind of stressful road trip (helping someone find a new apartment) and definitely stress ate a lot but not sure that anything really qualified as a binge. More like just falling into some unhealthy eating habits that I haven't done in a while, but it really is hard to eat well when you're in the car/ running around with realtors all day. So I'm gonna count Monday as a binge (the worst day) and just keep on going.

    Was it a full moon? I overate too. All food on my program but I usually finish eating around 7 or so and last night I was still hungry and needed something so I had a 2oz burger and some peanut butter.

    Why do I feel like everyone around me can tell the difference in how I look/act when I have a healthy eating day vs when I have a binge?

    No one has said anything but I don't feel like seeing people on binge days. I feel like I look 100x heavier.
