    Aw, thanks @tiffyree23! This is the first time I've ever gone over a month, and for the past several years it was happening at least twice a month (my husband is gone Saturday nights and not binging while alone is my biggest struggle), and those often led to binges that would last for days or even weeks. I really worked on forgiving myself for slip-ups and staying positive, along with making sure I didn't try to "make up" for a binge by over-restricting. Those really helped me keep the binges to one-off bad days, instead of turning into a downward spiral. Baby steps :smile:

    [First post on MFP!]

    Hi, I'm new to this group... sought it out after a pretty good binge last night. So I'll report for the last month based on my food log and look forward to August. I'm not super happy about the fact that I had 8 binges, but then again, that's why I sought out this group.

    The Binge: 8

    The good news, at least, is that I've still dropped 2.5 pounds this month. And while I haven't hit my calorie goals, I've still been negative for 3 of the past 4 weeks, and flat on that fourth week. I'm not beating myself up, since I'm moving in the right direction, but I do recognize my problem eating. I would rather indulge with a nice dinner and some drinks with a friend, rather than OD'ing on cheese slices at 11pm at night.

    Looking forward to some support!

    Tiredness and PMS led me to have a binge lunch. Back at it today, though!
