    Today I am proud of myself for allowing myself a large slab of cake after a long run and a big bowl of risotto for dinner without it descending into a full on binge. I was in control the whole day and because I properly refuelled after my run I didn't feel as exhausted as I usually do and was able to do the housework too instead of just lying on the sofa too tired to move.

    Yesterday I binge ate which I was disappointed about and when this happens I usually don't log in my calories...but I today I am proud because I went back and logged in EVERYTHING I ate, even though it was way over my calories for the day.

    I am also proud because I did not let that affect my whole weekend and I ate sensibly today, usually when I have a bad binge weekend night I also binge the next day because then I make myself believe that I'm giving myself the weekend to binge and then I'll get back on track.

    It's so wonderful reading through all of these accomplishments. I'm finally coming to the realization that this is going to be a slow process and you all inspire me.

    Today I'm proud of myself for... saying "No" to the Dr Pepper for the 2nd day in a row. Big deal for this addict! LOL

    Today I am proud for two things:

    I have gone a whole week without logging any of my food/exercise (I'm having serious OCD issues with food / portions / weighing / measuring / sharing...enough to drive me and my BF insane). The week didn't start off too great cause I binged a few times, but the last two days have been much better. My mind is starting to feel a little bit clearer.

    But what I am even more proud of is that I went to an OA (over-eaters anonomous) meeting last night. This could be a way for me to come out of hiding from this ED I have, so I'm def gonna give this a shot and make it a weekly thing to attend these meetings. It was so inspiring and maybe al ittle bit comforint too to hear actual people talk about their ED. I didn't talk during the meeting but hope that I will be confident enough to do so one day.

    Hi everyone.

    Today I'm proud of myself for being on my fourth day of no bingeing. I do hope I can make it through tonight though, the binge cravings hit me hard about 15 minutes ago.

    Well done everyone, you're all FABULOUS.

    I am proud that I calmed my pre-interview nerves with a sesh at the gym instead of a sugar binge and half a packet of cigs!

    Today I'm proud of myself for not stopping at the quick stop for the Dr Pepper and Breakfast pizza that blows my whole day. I made breakfast burritos at home for me & my girls then had a crystal light with it. Sounds like an easy thing to not stop but it hasn't gotten to be such a habit that I go even when I'm not hunger.
    YAY ME! LOL

    I understand mine habit was Casey bacon egg an cheese breakfast sandwich an OJ an later in day a can of coke havnt had any for couple days.

    Today I'm proud of myself for logging all of my food over the weekend. It can be a challenge sometimes...

    Today I am proud of myself for going to an exercise class, and not eating all of the chocolate that I have available to me, putting it away and drinking water instead.

    Love this post!

    The day's not over yet, but today I'm really proud of myself that I ate clean and was satisfied.
    It's really a day by day struggle, but today I'm so so proud that I had enough will power to say no to reaching for my trigger foods and even no to over eating in general. Just to say that I got through one day makes me smile and feel so... empowered! This is awesome!

    Best of luck to you all too!

    ...walking on the treadmill for 20 min, when all I wanted to do was crawl in bed and pull up the covers :-)

    I am so proud of myself for eating PROTEIN for breakfast and going to workout first thing in the morning, even though I was 20 minutes late for my class. I let go of the all or nothing mentality and had fun dancing in zumba.

    Wow, ya'll have been doing amazingly! I love seeing all your victories and I'm celebrating in my heart with ya'll. Thanks so much for sharing <3

    I'm so sorry I've been away longer than I expected. Our week long vacation took a rough turn at the end and I haven't been able to get back to normal in RL, let alone have time to come on here. I really missed ya'll though and glad to see you've been doing well :).

    Today I'm proud of myself for re-focusing myself and getting back on a healthy track, not only physically, but mentally and emotionally. It's been a rough couple of weeks but I'm determined to not let it impact me and my family long-term. I am stronger than the circumstances I must overcome.

    not over eating last weekend. The last two have been a total bust! I've been doing the 5:2 for about 3 weeks and the work week has been holding, not the weekend.
    And
    This morning my DH got me out of bed to do a 20 minute yoga session with my 30 minute elliptical walk. Hope I am able to continue this.

    Today I'm proud of myself for getting thru the one of the worst workdays ever without killing or maiming a coworker. Hopefully tonight I can be proud that I didn't take those awful feelings and stuff them down with food.
