    Last night was a ROUGH one -- a lot of internal emotional turmoil these past six weeks, and it is unbelievable to me that I haven't broken my streak given how automatic daily binging had become in times like these not too long ago. I almost wrecked that last night, but I am so happy I didn't. 150 is my next mini goal, and I am really pushing to hit it.

    I am starting to realize that giving myself a little more calorie lee-way during the weekend really helps me avoid binging.

    Once again my husband wants to make homemade pizza for Friday night dinner. I managed to not binge on it the last time he made them, but it is still such a binge trigger for me.

    @Llamapants86 good luck with tonight's pizza. You can do it!

    I was feeling pretty lonely last night, and I REALLY, REALLY wanted to order and eat a pizza or bake and eat a pan of brownies or cookies. I powered through, but I think the main reason I didn't succumb is because I am on such a tight budget right now that I can't afford to buy any more food. I am so happy this didn't happen next week, which is when I get paid. As I am inching closer to 150 DBF, I feel like my body and mind are going through some sort of an extinction burst. I am happy to have made it this far, but last night definitely reminded me that this will be a lifelong struggle, and I am still very fragile.

    Made it through pizza, made it through dinner and drinks with friends. Could not make it through my crappy and lazy Sunday :disappointed:

    Today is a new day, and 3 binges in a month is what I would normally do in a week. So, progress is progress.

    Not happy with myself, but I am trying hard to focus on the improvement and the process rather than the goal. I was doing so well at the beginning of the month too :disappointed:

    Another near-binge experience last night -- my junk food cravings have been out of control lately, and that plus my emotional stress is a recipe for disaster down the road. Going back to eating a low-sugar diet for a while to combat them.
