Well, November 10th started an 8-day binge-fest for me after I got home (& woke up from a 4-hr nap) after having surgery on my foot. Basically, having to fast for surgery (midnight to 1pm), home at 4pm but too groggy to eat, needing a nap and waking up from that at 8pm (i.e. 20 hours without eating or drinking anything) led to the start of this most recent binge-fest. After that, trying to stay & sleep in a recliner (to keep my foot elevated as much as possible to keep swelling down) didn't work out so well for getting restful sleep along with watching TV (a binge-trigger for me) during most of the days while recovering & eating "easy to grab" food (i.e. high-carb, "junk" food) rather than my normal stuff I usually prepare--I ended up gaining 12 lbs from this mess over those 8 days but I'm now back on track again following my "BackToBasics" June meal plan (i.e. the meal plan I followed after my last big binge weekend in May that worked so well) and haven't binged in 5 days, so, I hope that continues into Thanksgiving with no binges & just some overeating! On a good note--as quickly as that 12 lbs piled on, it's coming back off quickly too as I've already lost 7.5 of those 12 lbs, so, maybe a lot of that gain was just water weight.

Doing alright. Overindulged with Thanksgiving, but not binging. Will be walking a very careful line in the next few days with all this leftover food around. Planning to give the scale a break for a bit, too4 -

I did OK on Thanksgiving and didn't binge and kept under my maintenance calories. I still had plenty to eat and just had to put in some effort to moderate my helping of stuffing (1.25 cups) instead of a whole plate of it. It helped to eat the turkey & gravy & vegetables first, then go dish up a small portion of mashed potatoes and stuffing (with gravy) since I was starting to "fill up" by then with eating the other stuff first. Since everyone there who ate their pumpkin pie before me mentioned that it wasn't very good, I just got a small slice and had about 2 oz of it (they were right--it wasn't very good, kind of bland). I've got 3 more days left to this out-of-town holiday weekend and hoping to avoid any binges.5 -

I've not posted in this thread but have been an avid follower. Hope you don't mind me joining I! I made it to 47 days binge free!
Came unexpectedly crashing down yesterday, no tell tale warnings. Mince pies, Christmas cake and choc. Used the fact I've had flu this week (food to medicate/make myself feel better) and that I've started new medications for a long standing health condition that I'm sure (afraid) will increase my weight (even more than the last round) as my excuses.
Time to scrape myself up and move on!2 -
Thank you, I will do my best!1
