I'm just now getting over a week long binge from my fiance birthday on Sept 20 th. I did gain 10.8 pounds. today I'm down 6.8 of those pounds. Can't wait to get back in the 150's and keep going down. My birthday is November 14 th and while i will celebrate i will not make it a week long thing! Only that evening thing lol! Good luck everyone0

Today was a great day! Four "No Binge" days for me. Walked 4.32 miles this morning -- half of that with my grandpuppy and then got in 60 minutes of exercise on three different challenges. I only ate what was written down...NOTHING MORE! I was within my calorie allotment and, hopefully, the scale will reflect all this hard work in the morning.
Hope everyone has a grand Monday!

So today I went over my calls. But to be honest I logged an extra subway sandwich just in case! I was mindful while I was eating, work put on a platter for professional development day. There was cake so I had a piece, after I thought about it, the consequences and knowing full well I couldn't make it to the gym this afternoon. I had another piece of cake with lunch, because the first piece tasted so yummy lol.
I know it isn't November but im thinking is it binge eating if I'm mindful? If I way up the consequences of my actions and make a conscience choice to eat it?? To me decision based eating is one of the first steps to recovery and learning... I know I can go to the gym tomorrow and I know I can be under my caps tomorrow as I was yesterday so today becomes evened out???
Or am I thinking like a person who just wants to eat cake???
Inbox me if you like, or feel passionate (about cake?) because I may not read comments until the weekend

Personally I dont think an extra piece of cake is a binge. It probably brought you over your weight loss calories, but not your maintenance cals. So at least you shouldnt be gaining!
Ps. cake rocks! LMAO0 -
I'm happy to say I've been doing good. I didn't go nearly as far over my calories on. My binge day as I usually go so my start has been pretty preductive.0

Survived the weekend with no bingeing (sp?). End of the day on Monday and still doing well. I have been over my calories EVERY DAY but not by a lot (25-75). Not bad for my 1st week back at this. Now to figure out a schedule that will get my butt off the couch and working out.0

Today was a good day! I thought about forgetting my cal goal because my mom took me to go see a movie and I thought about getting a billion calorie bucket of popcorn, but in the end, I decided to ask her to go to lunch with me to a Mexican resturant and I got my 2 Tacos De Carne Asada and 7 tortillia chips. I was so proud of the fact that I didn't cave that I changed my profile pic to the tacos!0

So glad to have found this group! I need it for support.
Today was a very bad day at work. I wanted to eat everything in sight in the cafeteria at lunch....BUT I DIDN'T !!!!
It was really difficult to control the binge.
I had to text my husband for a motivational "you can do this."
Ugh.....November isn't even here yet.0 -
Today was good.
Ate some chocolate but only the amount i wanted to eat and stayed under calories. Ate 3 blocks and threw away the rest!!!
Problem: The dude in my house went grocery shopping with me and bought tons of foods i want to binge on with a HUGE passion.:explode:
I did buy lots of wonderful healthy food though... so helpfully i can stay to my side of the kitchen0 -
Can I join you for 2/3 of november if I start today instead hehe (infact I have been way under cals for 3days yay)
It is my birthday on 21st november so I wanna take the a couple of days around that off. Then back on it, which will help me save for xmas too and get lots of running around the shops in.0 -
Hi everyone! Hope it's okay if I join a bit late. I'm a binger/emotional eater and am working on braking the cycle. At this point, my will is strong outside the home (no cave-ins at work or stopping for fast food) but if there is something naughty my BF brings home, I will eat it.....all of it.....and feel really bad about it after. Jeez that sounds horrible. My weakness is chocolate. I think tracking could save me. Or maybe I just need to get rid of ALL temptations for the time being. It's not even so much about the weight loss but forming a healthy relationship with food. I joined a group for weight loss and it really helped. I think this one could really help kick start my new relationship

Hello everyone!
I'm just checking in to proudly say that I did very well today. No binges or even any cravings. (Obviously it was a MUCH better day at work.)0 -
Just checking in for today before I go to bed.
I felt in control today and I actually didn't have any cravings! I didn't do any exercising, other than some outside work around the house, but all in all.. it was a good day.0 -
No binge but I did have a conversation with some peppermint this evening. Did not go over my calorie allotment, so I'm good. But I'm glad I didn't have anything tempting in the cupboard or pantry. Oh, there were some pumpkin/chocolate chip cookies in the next department at work today...smelled really good...kept walking though. I think that's worth one point!
Hope everyone has control over their cravings tomorrow. Have a great Wednesday.

Yesterday was good, didn't come home until late. Because I was stuck on campus until my fitness class, and I forgot to bring lunch I ended up buying a mediocre, unhealthy sandwich. I need to get my lunches under control! However, today is a short day so I should be able to relax and stay within my goals0

Today I said hello to crispy cream donuts and then I said goodbye... GO ME!!!0

My boss brought in Panera Bread bagels this morning. I had a cinnamon crunch bagel with honey walnut cream cheese and later in the day I had 2 halloween oreo cookies. I did do a Boot Camp class and burned 446 calories. That helped a little bit with the extra calories I took in today. I need to be good tonight. I am planning on some salmon with broccoli and mushrooms. I really need to be good over the weekend.0

Yesterday I was having a horrible day. I was down and stressed and really frustrated. I was so tempted to binge. I was sitting next to a vending machine and had means to get all the candy I could get my hands on. I was tempted by a Carmel iced coffee ( about 500 calories with everything). But I posted here instead and bought a water. After my class I went to the gym and worked out all my stress.. I'm disappointed though because I checked my weight and I gained 3 pounds. I've been working out more so I'm thinking it's just water retention0

I have been doing really well. I think I have gone over calories by 100-200 calories on a couple of days. But not the usual 2000 calorie blowout that I seem to manage once or twice a week. :bigsmile:0

Today was a good day. I felt in control all day and didn't go over my calorie goal and didn't binge.
I'm really looking forward to November! If I can .. No.. WHEN I go a whole month with out binging even once, it will be the first time I have gone a whole month without binges!
Sep was a good month. I only had 3 bad days. This month.. not so good. COME ON NOVEMBER!!!! :drinker:0 -
I am really cranky today. Just completely over everything. The thoughts of sitting down and munching my way through a big bowl of sweet and salty popcorn has been running through my mind all day, but I know if I start I won't stop.
SO I have planned out some light icrecream and a big glass of wine into my diary today for when everyone is in bed and I can just chill out and relax. I haven't gone over my limit so fingers crossed that does the trick and I wake up in a better mood tomorrow!0 -
My office is my big problem because it's filled with junk food and sweets - sometimes I start eating sweets and can't stop (and always feel like I'm hiding what I'm doing, even if I'm alone, which is very weird). I ate less junk food than usual this week, thanks to this group. I made it to Friday, which means better food through the weekend (I don't work on Fridays). Thanks for setting up this group. Everybody, have a good weekend.0

The 3 pounds are probably water from the water you drank before you weighed, or from sodium in food, or water retention from new exercise to heal your muscles. You did really well to walk away from that candy. Posting here in a moment like that is a really good idea.0 -
The last couple of days haven't been as good as I wanted to be. Last night I was at a dinner meeting for work which included a buffet dinner. I tried not to over do it and made better choices except I intended to decline dessert but didn't... Today is my day off so I have a plan. Workout this morning followed by grocery shopping to stock up on good healthy foods!
Have a great day everyone.0 -

Good job for taking back your day!0 -
Its only 5PM where I am, but I have been having cravings like nobodys business since late last night! Around 11PM I was thisclose to binging!! I wanted EVERYTHING! Thank goodness we have like.. nothing in the house to tempt me!! I didn't eat anything but some radishes to fill me up so YAAAAAYYY about that!
So yeah.. I don't know why I'm wanting to just eat everything.. it might be hormone related tho.. sigh. Stinkin time of month!! :grumble:
I've made room in my daily calorie goal to have an Arbys Turkey & Swiss wrap with extra lettuce and onion, ( according to the site its 490 cals) so I still have something to look forward to tonight without going over my cal goal!
I will stay strong and not binge!! Promise! :happy:0
