    Day 1 of the No Binge November-
    Its that TOM an I wanted to have really bad foods all day, but I stood strong! I took a nap in the late afternoon when I was really craving some greasy fast food. (and usually I don't even like greasy foods)
    I made it thru the first day. I felt like since it was officially November I perversely wanted to stuff food in my face because I "couldn't" .. am I the only one who felt like this today??? :noway:

    How did everyone else do?

    Day 1 and I made it
  • What i don't understand is how do binge eaters lose weight? That doesn't add up in my head if you binge, how can you even loose weight? i see people who have lost a large amount of weight say they are food addicts or binge eaters? How can you loose weight while binging?
    eating above your calorie limit once a week or so can actually boost your metabolism, so non-extreme "binge" eating could help people lose weight . In the case of actual binge eaters/ food addicts, I assume they purge or starve themselves afterwards
    For me, I'm used to eating about 800 calories a day, but then I binge on huge quantities of food about once every ten days, which somehow adds up to my having lost 9lbs in the past two months.
    I'm not obese, but am trying to build a steadier, healthier relationship with food (and get over my addiction to sugar). Feel free to add me!

    I made it (yesterday)! I had a really long day, wasn't home until around 9 pm, so between cooking dinner (and realising I had cooked too much chips, and actually not eating them!) and watching netflix with the S.O, I didn't have the time or need to binge.
    I hope today goes just as well.

    Yep, I felt that too.... Only, *Hands up*, I failed! I think because I knew I "couldn't", it was on my mind to binge ALL DAY, arrrrggghhhh.. So I did end up eating quite a bit later on lastnight, but trying to claw it back today by undereating a little. Not healthy, I know, but I'm really trying to get a grip on things and hoping this will do it.

    Ah well, here's to the other 29 days, that I hope are a lot better. :drinker:

    Day 2 of No Binge November-

    I did fine all day, then at about 9:30pm I opened the fridge and looked at what was in there and had to forcefully slam it shut. I wasn't even HUNGRY, but I wanted to eat still!! Sick!
    I took a loooong hot shower and then decided that I still wanted to munch, so I grabbed a large sandwich baggie full of radishes and I'm busily munching on em right now! I WILL not allow myself to get up an go downstairs and raid the fridge! I am the one who controls my body, not the other way around. I have lived too long with being under this sick habit of feeling out of control to binges and food!! I'm taking back my body now!

    Hope everyones day went ok. :flowerforyou:

    I baked brownies and made slow cooker lasagne yesterday. And I didn't go over. I only had a little bit of the brownies, I accidentally skipped lunch and had a slightly large portion of the lasagne. No alcohol, no sweets, no snacking or pecking in between or after meals. Considering that was a SATURDAY I am really very pleased with myself.

    Some times you gotta have that little snack! Good job at keeping it under control!

    Day 3 of No BInge November-

    I had to go to the Slip Ups and post about last night. Sigh. At about 10 last night I gave in and devoured mass amounts of food. I totally had a food hangover all day today.

    Since I was feeling so bad about last night I did good today. Usually when I have a slip up its like.. 2 or 3 days worth, so one positive is it was only one day/night.

    Heres to the rest of the month being better!!!

    How did you all do today??

    so far so good on No Binge November :-)
  • Day 5.
    I've been keeping a few calories until night time in order to eat them then, I've chosen to eat junk, but it's all been within my allowance, so far so good. I'd put on 5lb due to the binging, but put this down to water weight/glycogen etc, 2lb of which came off this morning :drinker: :bigsmile: I've changed my weigh in day from a Monday to a Friday too, just incase I have a treat on the weekend (as this is when it will be most likely) so it'll have time hopefully not to affect my weigh in.

    Yesterday was really not a healthy day. Pizza leftovers for breakfast, a large portion of carbonara for lunch, ice cream and a pint of cider.

    I didn't go over, though. Which surprised me, but I'm not complaining. I've noticed the more junk I consume, the more I crave junk. Need to start picking up healthy habits again.

  • Hello,

    I think it has been 6 days since my last binge. I believe it could be a record.

    I started off my No Binge November and promptly binged for the first 2 days! :mad:

    Anyway, I am having takeaway tonight for dinner. Fish and Chips, I will probably have a crumbed fish and salad burger and I will definitely go over my calories. But it wont be a binge, just an acceptable over calorie day. That doesn't count, right? As long as going over doesn't lead to a stuff my face day tomorrow.

    Yeah I notice that junk = binge for me most of the time too.

    take it easy everyone

    Sandra

    I've discovered poached eggs. Been on the ball, even if grocery shopping after fitness class is one of the stupidest things I do - I only picked up a small fizzy drink. I'm not supposed to be eating back my exercise calories, but today I was so hungry I had to have chips with my burger. It's better than having two burgers, so that's good.

    I've been doing pretty well. No bingeing and tracking everything. I've even managed to workout a couple of times this week. Nothing heavy duty but it's a start.

    Keep it up everyone!

    I don't call eating ice-cream for dinner (last night) binging because it was thought out and planned... I ate more tonight not so thought out and planned but I'm not sad and hating myself, I ate it slowly, I enjoyed every bite, there is none left so I can forget about it and move on.... I'm not proud that I ate it but I'm not going to beat myself up about it either... no gym last week due to work, i still lost this week... went to gym today so my ice-cream feed isn't as huge an impact as maybe it could have been

    Tonight to 'date' night!

    I have a Saturday off with my bf, so we are going out to a local place to eat.

    I got up nice and early and killed it at the gym to make room for some food later!

    WOO for planning ahead. Will let you all know later, what I had, and how it went! =)

    It was thought out and planned. Go for it. I find little treats are helping me from bingeing later! Gotta have some ice cream SOMETIMES!!

    Mmmmmmmmm ice cream. That is my biggest I can't resist food. I have just been on a binge streek, lots of stress, Thursday and Friday little binges , yesterday great, today, struggling, but so far no damage.
  • I am still trying to allow myself to have as much healthy food as I want and to not beat myself up worry about loosing weight till I get more confidence about not binging. Soo... I haven't lost any weight. I'm having a hard time limiting my berry quantity and Plain Greek yogurt and don't know if I'm overdoing it. How much do you think is too much?
  • I dont know if this is where im supposed to check in but today I stayed on goal! Im hungry and about to go to sleep! I incorporated eating a cookie and chex mix in my calories for the day. Tomorrow I should eat more fruits and veges and maybe ill be full at bedtime!

    I havent binged yet. But oh how I have wanted to.

    I also find that Im giving in to smaller temptations.

    Treating myself more, knowing that I dont have any binge days to do so.

    Im finding it hard to control the treats.. even though I am staying within/near my calorie goals.

    And.. its almost TOM..... HELP!
