Hi! I haven't been proud of myself lately, but I'm trying every damn day to fix that!
Today, I'm proud of myself for continuing to log most of the food everyday.0 -
Today I am proud of not binging last night when I was really feeling the urge to binge. I chewed gum, ate a few items and stopped. Yay!0
-
MadDog, glad to see you back here
Molly, hurray for beating the binge!
Today I'm proud of myself for having purchased a few of my previous binge trigger foods last week and NOT binging on them! In fact, it took a whole 3 days (I know, not THAT long lol) to even open them, and when I did, I had 1 serving of each and was done. I haven't had a serving since 0 -
Today I am proud of bringing myself back here after taking a few weeks to regroup and think real hard about what I wanted from my life.0

Today I'm proud of myself for joining this group to hopefully find the support I need. I'm also proud of myself for packing my lunch and snacks for the day and not giving in to temptation at work!0

Welcome Kriskris! I find this group so helpful not only to share your feelings and gain support, but also to see that you are not alone!
Welcome back Resa Little steps are the key to big changes, just start small.
Today I'm proud of myself for sticking to my plan of an AM workout. Who would've guessed I'd actually wake up before 7 am?!? :laugh:0 -
Thanks for the welcome! I'm also proud to say that even though I was ravenous after getting home from the gym, I stuck to my planned dinner and stopped when I was full instead of bingeing on everything else in my cupboards.0

Today I'm proud of myself for allowing myself a treat at work when my coworkers wanted to splurge and being able to savour it and feel satisfied after it instead of running back for more.0
-
Oh wow, this is now a stickie! Thanks Molly!!
Today I'm proud of myself for measuring and eating only 1 serving of my binge trigger foods. I'm happy to be making small steps to healthy moderation 0 -
....following a "no fast food for a month" challenge, trying to give up pizza (a huge binge trigger for me), and I've only had one night of pizza binge so far this month!! Still going strong so far0
-
Pizza is a tough one, great job with your challenge!
Today I'm proud of myself for dedicating myself so fully to a new challenge. I've stuck to my goals and honestly feel a lot prouder and better about myself than I have in a while. I can't wait to start seeing some physical changes and rewards for this hard work.0 -
Proud Of: Had a very good day yesterday. 1 day after taking a running day off, and having a HORRIFIC binge attack, I had a very good diet day and a strong 8.5 mile run. My wife road her newly purchased bike alongside to keep me company. I hit 2000 calories and 40 grams of fat for the day. Keep in mind, my daily fat intake over the past couple months has been typically under 20 grams. And this has caused health problems and possibly might be behind some concerning results on some recent blood-work.0
-
Proud of myself for starting the day with a healthy, sugar free breakfast, and saying "no thank you" when me and hubby went for a walk and he asked me if I wanted a croissant.. :flowerforyou:0
-
Took family out to eat for dinner. I had already nearly expended calories. While they had meal & ice cream, I had coffee and apples. Didnt cave in even though ice cream was merely a few feet away.0
-
I've also had 3 really good days since my last binge. Hit calories. Was in ballpark for macros. Very pleased. Just need to get through this day, 1 day at a time looking forward, but its always confidence building to be able to look backwards at several consecutive and consistent good days!0
-
There is Ice Cream & Strawberry pie in the house. I've had 1 spoonful of ice cream, and 1 bite of the pie. I did not binge. Ice Cream is my biggest weakness.0
-
great job on the ice cream... i would really struggle with one bite!!0

Today I met with a psychologist / counselor to discuss eating habits. In the hour long discussion, we discussed binging & restrictive eating. We also discussed the compulsion to sustain every pound lost, even though at my current weight, I would be considered too light. And we discussed fear / safe foods, and the overall health effects of a diet heavy in veggies and oatmeal. She wants to continue to meet with me, and I am leaning towards doing that.0
-
Today I'm proud of myself for making my breakfast at home and bringing it with me to eat at work even though I was running late instead of stopping at the caf at work to get some pastry or something that would have set me off on the wrong foot for the day.
I'm also proud for seeking out someone with experience in successfully working to overcome binge eating habits. I know it won't be a quick fix, but I feel better about everything already after working with her for only a couple weeks, so I'm hopeful for what the next couple months might bring.0 -
That's great Ibleedunionblue!
And great job to you Kriskris!
Sounds like you both are on a path to healthy living
Today I'm proud of myself for sticking to my scheduled workouts AND sticking to my scheduled social meetup where I fit a mini-pitcher into my day very nicely. It feels so great when I can fit work and play into my goals, and I need to remember that all it takes is a little planning. Today I ordered 2, not 3 tacos from my favorite breakfast stop and I will fit them into my day just like the mini-pitcher yesterday. 0 -
Got away from it all for a couple days. Didnt weigh self, ran a marathon, took a Niagara Falls vacation. Didnt binge on vacation.0
-
This mornings weigh-in : I was up 1.4 pounds, even though I ate at a deficit yesterday, and my sodium levels were well under. I haven't panicked, and I have restricted. I will try to live with this today.0

I went to a Memorial Day BBQ and overate (not proud of this). But the thing I am proud of is that I got right back on track the next day. I did not do my usual thing of beating myself up because I blew it at the BBQ, then proceeding to get so down in the dumps that I binge for the next several weeks, thereby undoing any progress I had made.0
-
I had my first non-binge day of over a week yesterday. I'd been derailing for the past few weeks, but yesterday was wonderful. Please excuse this, but I'm going to name all the trigger foods that are currently in my house that I managed to avoid and am currently not craving in the slightest - 2 cakes, 1 pie, 2 containers of ice cream, 3 boxes of popsicles, 3 boxes gourmet chocolate, 1 loaf banana bread. I'd done a good job of keeping those things out of the house for ages, and when they started creeping back in, I was strong enough for everything to be fine. When I derailed recently, I had quite the pile of goodies to latch onto. But now, I'm not phased.0
-
Today, I'm proud of myself for allowing myself a higher calorie treat guilt-free in the evening by adjusting my dinner plan. Craving gone and still within my goals for the day 0
-
Its 9 pm and I feel a strong urge to binge on cereal. Right now I feel very low on energy, a general lack of strength. I need to be careful, but I am recognizing a background symptom that triggers binges.0
-
Today I'm proud of myself for eating two of my trigger foods without bingeing.0
