    Barely...definitely overate though, and after I had already closed my diary. This week has been a real struggle.

    Another night of bad decisions and close calls. Trying to snap out of this funk and get focused again.

    Moxie: I hope you can give yourself some credit for fighting off the binge the last two nights. Sure, you may not have been perfect, but you didn't let things spiral away from you. That's a victory in and of itself.

    There are times when I break my eating goals for the day, and may even add some emotional eating in there, but there's definitely a tipping point where the bad choices turn into a binge. In many ways, it takes more willpower/strength for me to prevent a bad day from becoming a binge day than just adhering to my eating goals in the first place.

    I'm also on a 5-day workout streak. Sudden motivation after pushing for it for soooo long. Content :)

    Congrats everyone on your progress - no matter how seemingly small - including the fact that no matter how many times we all slip - we keep getting back up. That's some serious tenacity!!! GO US!!!

    Thanks @NiceGuySF :) I appreciate that. I totally agree that preventing a bad day from becoming a binge is harder than avoiding the bad days in the first place, and that's something to feel good about. Starting to feel a little better today though! @KnitOrMiss - love that! This really is a great group!

    @lamlam2013 - It's okay, it happens to us all! As people who have struggled with binging for years, every day we don't is a win, and a binge doesn't wipe those good days out. It's almost the end of the month and you've got 24 days without a binge- that's awesome regardless of what happened last night :)

    Hillmike, are you asking what DBF means? It is "days binge-free."
