    small binge but even though didnt eat that much still felt like a binge. the 2-5pm period is always rough. always looking for any excuse to take a break. didnt really think the 4th of july week was gonna be under calories anyways... determined to stay strong once my routine is back in order. (and not do too much damage in the meantime)

    I agree with afternoons being the hard time. I have flexible work hours, so I try to schedule myself to go in around 1:00 - 8:00. Then I can get stuff done at home during the morning when overeating is less of a problem. Days off are difficult for me and you're wise to realize your disrupted routine affects your eating...It's sometimes hard to determine what a binge is. For instance if I had a small binge, but stayed under calories for the day, I don't count it as a binge even though it felt like one.

    I can no longer binge, then cut back a day and see a loss. My binges cost me several days of food and exercise compensation.

    I sure know this feeling. I swear I used to be able to just have a good day and go on a long run after a bad day and be all back on track. Now I feel like it sticks with me for dayyyysss.... Good luck with your weigh in this week!

    Me - 5
    Binge - 1

    Much better start than last month! I just can't seem to control the speed of my binge - like the food is going to vaporize and I'll be left with nothing to eat, so I need to shovel faster and faster Ugh

    July 8th...
    Me : 6

    The Binge: 2

    I ate four meal supplement things... (Not going to be specific, mentioning the name or such... don't want to trigger. It was 170/each.)

    I am triggered to binge. It's that time of month. and there is a guy who isn't talking to me at the moment but I wish he would. Sometimes guys act all sweet and caring and then other days they act distant and non talkative - it's like, what the hell?

    I need a new hobby or something to keep me really busy.

    Sorry for the rant -- I hope everyone is suceeding in fighting the binge!

    I feel ya girl, sometimes a binge is easily triggered by whether or not I get a text! I've defnitely realized how my emotions are attached to stupid things like that...running and long walks have helped get my mind off of it. Still working on keeping 'better' guys in my life so I'm not always feeling so unstable.

    Have fun in Greece Jul!
    And yes, waiting for texts can be unbearably painful and has lead to some serious calories consumption... I feel ya ladies.

    Doing well so far this month. Keeping track of it in this challenge is really helping me stay motivated to not binge. It's pretty amazing actually! Haven't been perfect on all days but haven't had that binge mindset. Yippee!

    BM: 1 and it was a small one!
