    @Moxie42 Thank you. And I like your reminder -- "It's pretty cool we're still here in spite of everything." I know I've also come a long way from 2-3 years ago. I was binging at least half of the month most of the time. Despite whatever is happening in my life now, my binges are much less frequent. :smile:
    Thanks, @Nevadaden. I appreciate that.
    That's awesome @itsallgood803!

    I'm going to my in-laws' place today, and they have no concept of healthy eating. Everything is laced with butter and high fats.. It's usually pretty tasty too. This will be the first time going there since starting my MFP streak/serious dieting. Going to be sure I'm not hungry when I go for dinner. It seems like i'm more prone to letting go of control when I'm hungry.

    I'm so sorry, @mae918. Tonight I'm having a hard time deciding between calling it one for the Binge or one for me. In other words, some bad behaviors and some bad choices, but not to the point where it is a definite point for the B. But I do well know the stuffed to the point of pain feeling -- been there so many times. I hope tomorrow is better for you.

    Thanks @hillmike56. I appreciate that. I'm going to try to get myself started on a couch potato to 5k workout plan.. I need a different approach... searching for something that works for me..
    Thank you @Nevadaden. I hope you've had a better day, too.

    As an old IT guy these 16 hours days patching servers to protect from the WannaCry Ransomware drove this BINGE. Someone brought in pizza at least vegeterian for me but a late night. Think its about time to think about my next career as a dishwasher and leave this IT work to the kids. Don't forget update your Windows Updates and scan your PC!

    New to this group, thankful to have found you all. I will sneak in as I keep track of this with my wellness plan through my work. It's required as I have fatty liver disease. So, for May: Me: 13 Binge: 2

    Going to track my jogging workouts here to attempt to hold accountability for myself. Day 1 of an 8wk plan. I wanted to quit 4x in 30 mins... but kept pushing. I'm calling today binge-free in hopes of continuing strong.
    Welcome, @blackdahalia!

    Not binging but making awful decisions for dinners. I really should consider Blue Apron or something like that until things calm down and I have a little more time. It's just so expensive and that accident is already draining my bank account.

    @mae918 - Great idea! Looking forward to hearing what you think about it!

    So too much work, fatigue and wanting to just sit outside and have a beer and listen to my favorite Sturgill Simpson album. Sounds like a great plan right! But as a few of us know there are limits we need to set with alcohol. I working on this 2 drink habit for such evenings but you cannot add a shot of tequila to 2 beers. It's like waving a red flag and saying hey BINGE come get me! I am going to get this right and you guys that hang out here with me are going to see it, I don't know exactly how many tries it will take! That's of course if God doesn't get tired of me telling this same story over and over and decides to pull the plug earlier than I want.

    Sending internet sanitized hugs to all... Seems to be hit and miss struggles right now all around. We're stronger together. Let's try to remember that.

    Agree @KnitOrMiss, we are stronger together. I had a few bad days this week, both with regard to binge eating and personally. Knowing you are all here, and that I haven't posted (regardless of whether or not I had binged) makes me want to come back, and post. And have a success to post about. So here I go again. A streak of one day and I feel better already!

    @branbuds, I know what you mean. Keep it up, @hillmike56! As many tries as it takes.

    And thanks for the virtual hug, @knitormiss.

    I have had some troublesome days this week, but I have one day back on track -- maybe a little shaky, but still, on track. I'll take it.
