    I just joined this group yesterday.
    Today was a good day. One of my customers gave me a homemade cinnamon roll with icing and 2 cookies. They looked so good but I brought them home to my husband because I just joined a 30 day challenge (started Sunday) with a couple of gals at work. This challenge is a list of food items that are off limits. Needless to say, those treats were on the list and I was able to withstand. I'm pretty satisfied with that. :)

    Hi all, I just joined this group too. Congrats Lori!
    Have been better to be honest, binged pretty intensely for the second day in a row - can't seem to find a way to calm down after an hour or so after wanting to binge - anyone have any suggestions? Sending lots of good energy to everyone doing their best

    gtg2015 what are you thinking about? For me, there is usually an emotion tied to undesirable eating. Perhaps to sit with a paper and pencil, write down what you're thinking/feeling and then ask yourself if you're really hungry or want to eat because of the thoughts. Then go outside and run/walk down your driveway or sidewalk just to break the cycle. Jumping jacks (a quick 10) will do wonders too. :)
