Congrats to everyone for their small victories today!
Today I am proud of myself for opening a granola bar someone gave me, but throwing it out after tasting it and deciding I didn't like it. I am also proud of myself for learning a new exercise- front squats,0 -
Today I'm proud of myself for all I accomplished yesterday. Laundry? Done. Bread? Made. Dishes? Clean. Vacuuming? Done. Okay, now I'm just patting myself on the back...but that's what this thread is for right?
Happy Friday ya'll! Hope you have a fun, relaxing weekend coming up 0 -
Today I'm proud of myself for having a positive outlook. 6,300 cals over weekly goal be damned HA. Better try next week0

Today I'm proud of myself for stopping my workout when I felt pain, even though I felt guilty about it. Don't want any injuries!0

Today I feel proud of myself for steering myself away from very tempting chocolates and grabbing my bag of healthy snacks instead. I figured if the chocolate was calling my name, it probably was because I actually needed to eat something. But my veggies, apple, and cheese was a much better choice!0

...walking on the treadmill for 20 min, when all I wanted to do was crawl in bed and pull up the covers :-)
Ditto for today0 -
1. Logging my really poor food choices Monday night and logging the marathon binge that happened mostly all day long yesterday.
The logging might not be 100% accurate as I had to 'guesstimate' some of it.
Usually I say "screw it" and don't log it. But I did.
2. I am also proud of myself for starting today with a healthy breakfast.0 -
Today I'm proud of myself for not drowning my grief in chocolates and liquor. I had a healthy dinner with a decent sized dessert and stopped there. I cried too much. My eyes are still swollen and puffy. But at least I didn't make it worse with a terrible binge.0

Today I'm so proud of myself for not binging on cheesecake... and for doing a total of about 3 1/2 hours exercise (including yoga and gentle cycling).0

Mine is a good news/bad news type of thing....
Bad news is: last night I binged after an 8 day streak of being binge free. I ate half a jar of almond butter and an entire box of crackers within about 30-45 minutes. It's not the worst I've ever done, maybe about 1,700 calories on top of my regular meals I had yesterday.
The Good news: This morning when I was making my breakfast and lunch for the day, I emptied the remaining amount of almond butter I had left into the compost (there's no way I will touch it again from in there!!! ewwwww). I have never done this before with almond/peanut butter since this is probably my absolute favoritist thing in the world to eat and almond butter is damn expensive so I justify keeping it around sometimes just because of that even though I know it is my biggest trigger.
I don't even know how it happens...I knew that the almond butter and crackers would inevitibly lead to a binge yet I just went ahead and bought them anyways... I guess in my mind I always tell myself that "maybe this time will be different...maybe I will be able to control it".
In any case, I am proud of myself for getting rid of the trigger food this morning, and also for confessing my binge to the group. I felt gross and ashamed this morning but it's starting to fade away...especially as I write this post Thank you 0 -
Today I am proud of myself for completing my workout. Half way through weights I felt like I just wanted to quit, but I kept on going and finished. Plus I ended the workout with a short spurt of boxing too!0

Love reading all the positive things on here!!
I'm proud today that I have stuck with good eating for 3 days now. I'm usually not good with staying consistent.
Feeling good and even more motivated to keep up the good food coming in!0 -
Today I'm proud of myself for not giving into the binge mindset. I was overly tired yesterday and snacked a little too much. I didn't log in the moment, but knew I had probably gone over my daily allowance. Knowing that, I really just wanted to "give up and start over tomorrow", like always. But I recognized being full and remembered the feeling I would have AFTER the binge, and decided it wasn't worth it.
Slowly but surely I'm working my way towards a healthy mindset. I may not reach my calorie goals for the day, but I'm still taking these days as wins because I'm not just striving towards physical health, but mental health as well. I don't want to reach a number on a scale, but still be battling these monsters. I want to be healthy AND happy.
Have a great Friday ya'll 0 -
Today I am proud of myself that even though i had a binge last night and actually started the day today with half a tub of ice cream I found the strength to go out for a 9 mile run and not carry on the binge.0

Today I'm proud of myself for not binge eating over the weekend. Weekends are tough for me. As a result of staying on track all last week AND the weekend... I'm down 2 pounds! Good feeling!0

Today I'm proud of myself for being 7 days binge-free and FINALLY getting my derrier back in the gym yesterday!0

Woop woop, you go Kerri! 0 -
Today I'm proud of myself for stopping a binge right at the beginning. I started it with a few bites and stopped! That is a huge step for me, I usually can't stop when I'm in the moment of stress. I also stayed within my calorie allowance and even though I had a VERY stressful day, I have stayed binge free since the temptation eight hours ago. Yay for small victories. So thankful there is a place to share, it makes the victory seem bigger 0

Yay!! Congrats!! Keep up the great work 0

Whew!! That is awesome! Stopping is the hardest thing- great job 0 -
Thought about that bad food in the other room and logged on here instead.0

being in a binge-worthy situation (around people eating hotdogs, fries and dessert) and only having a couple bites and WALKING AWAY!0

Today I'm proud of myself for getting outside in the nice weather, enjoying a walk with a few hundred thousand of my buddies, and loving every minute of it (DC cherry blossoms in peak bloom, and I didn't shy away from people, like I usually do).0

Wow, I'm loving these updates! Ya'll are awesome!!
Today I'm proud of myself for having a binge-free weekend. It always seems to be my biggest struggle but I've been successful with keeping myself busy or just plain saying no. Now if only I can have a full weekend under calorie budget...that will be my next challenge! 0 -
Today I'm proud of myself for sticking to my commitment to not be 'in the red' calories at the end of the day.
I was 30 calories in the red, so I went for a walk around the block (with my fitbit on) to lift my exercise calories.
Now its green - I can finish logging my day happily.0 -
Today I am proud of myself for making the decision to stop drinking alcohol. Its a big binge trigger for me at weekends so I am going to give it up completely. I am not saying forever as I don't want to set myself up for a fall but I intend to set the goal of 1 month at first and see how I go after that.0

Today I'm proud of myself for maintaining self control while eating at a restaurant that would normally lead to a binge. I made healthy choices, ate in moderation, drank only water, and came home with leftovers (which are still in the fridge three hours after returning home). I also had one serving of a treat today and stopped after that one serving. I got in a great cardio session and am feeling pumped and proud
I pray everyone else had a great day too!!0 -
This thread hasn't been active in a while, I apologize. It's been a rough few weeks for me.
Today I'm proud of myself for beating the binge and getting in a good calorie burn. I had some of the worst cramps I've had in a while, overate on comfort ice cream and just started to think 'welll, F it.' But I stopped myself!
Later in the day, I had to babysit a coworker's kid who had a 1 hour soccer practice. The fields were surrounded by a circular track and I used it to my advantage! I ended up jogging a little and walking, all in all, over 5 miles! Not only did I feel better, but I worked off the previous ice cream feast
I have to admit though, I still had that mindset of having screwed up the day. My husband was going to be out at his band's practice once I got home from babysitting, so of course my bingey mind is like...hmmmm, maybe we can grab a burrito on the way back...followed by more ice cream eh? and perhaps some winnne? But I said NO. I had done the work to be in a deficit for the day, why would I want to ruin it again? I sipped on water while watching Dexter, and went to bed 0
