This morning I went to a brunch. This evening I went to a dinner party. I did not overeat at either of them. (I usually overeat at social occasions. )
This afternoon I wanted to eat, but I had just eaten. I thought about it and realized I was tired, not hungry. So I took a short nap and felt better. Before when I was tired, I would often eat a bunch of sugary treats.
It is very helpful and inspiring to read your posts.0 -
Today I'm proud of myself for not being TOO embarrassed about having my pic taken recently. Profile pic is me at my heaviest, and yesterday - a bit of loss is noticeable, and I feel much better, as well. Good luck to all!0

Today I'm proud that I had the opportunity to binge, but was able to talk back to ED and get through it. I feel like my recovery is really sticking, and I'm the one who is in control

Today I'm proud of myself for NOT eating a yogurt I didn't really want, and instead, opting for one handful of trail mix. Along with bingeing comes this unnecessary impulse to finish everything in front of me, whether I like it or not. For this, I am proud :happy:0

Ya'll are so inspiring! I just love popping in here and seeing all these amazing wins from each of you. Ya'll ROCK!
Today I'm proud of myself for sticking to my plan of biking to work. I was sooo close to talking myself out of it, but I'm so glad I didn't. Biking to/from work for the whole week!0 -

That's a great goal! Pretty beneficial for your health, and probably a great way to enjoy alone-time.
I'm proud that yesterday, I ate a moderate amount of fast food and tracked it beforehand. This would be one of the instances where I'd rationalize and say that if I was already eating something "bad", that I might as well go full in because who knows when I'd allow myself that splurge next time (then of course I'd do it again the next day). What would have originally been a normal portion size so often becomes a bag full of burgers and fries, with a stop at the doughnut shop for multiple desserts, because why the heck not. Instead, I was able to enjoy a normal meal and stay within my calorie goal!0 -
Happy Friday!
I am proud of myself for making myself weigh at WW and was pleasantly surprised I lost 0.6 pounds.
I am going to try to pop in here most days and post one thing I did in the day that I am proud of.
Keep rocking and thanks again for an awesome thread!:flowerforyou:0 -
for not binging after having car issues and had car towed, etc. and the drama is not over with my car either but I am determined not to emotional eat or binge.0

Today I'm proud of myself for
resisting the urge to go to a fast food restaurant
walked around the block after eating a large meal and saved half of the meal for later0 -
For crawling out of bed (at 6 pm today) and a pool of self pity and went out and ran 11 miles. Running is my way I purge. But I feel so much better during and after a run.0

So pleased that I did not get up and eat last night. I got up twice to use restroom, but walked right by the kitchen both times without stopping to graze.0

Accountability Post: Today is a new day. I will start this day by committing to being healthier. I will hit my appointed percentages of both protein and healthy fats. And I will eat something besides oatmeal and raw vegetables. And the reason I post this is because I did some analysis of my macros and seen in 22 / 23 of the last 30 days, I was well under on both protein and fats respectively.0

Today I'm proud of myself for filling my weekend with fun activities that balanced out the celebratory foods and drinks. I'm also proud that I logged everything, and only had one over-calorie day! I still need to work on logging everything the day of, but I'm proud that I still logged accurately, even a day later 0

Molly, so sorry for the car troubles. I hope your week is looking up!
Ibleed, that's a great goal! I find that I feel more satiated with adequate protein and fats in my diet 0 -
Today I'm proud of myself for...joining this group and posting! My problem with binging is something that literally not a single person in my life knows about. This is the first time I've admitted it "out loud" to anyone. Even to myself, I've always denied the severity of it. But I'm realizing that I can't reach my weight loss goals if I don't accept this is an issue, and work to fix it. So here I am!0

Welcome! I had a similar realization not too long ago and it's definitely helped, even though I still have a long way to go.Today I'm proud of myself for...joining this group and posting!

Today, I'm proud of myself for saying no to buying a chocolate bar at work when my colleagues did because I recognized that I wasn't hungry.0 -
This is awesome! I struggle with this one too. Especially when I binge.

I am proud that yesterday I managed a day without bingeing - this is quite an achievement for me! I am proud that today I feel strong and love myself enough to remember that I am in control.0

Welcome Moxie. glad to have you! I totally understand where you're coming from. Acknowledging that there is a problem is a huge step. Congrats and keep your head up
That's great Clare! What a victory to love yourself
Today I'm proud of myself for living life. I may not be busting down goals one day after another, but I'm enjoying my life with my husband, staying active, and generally feeling great about where I am right now.0 -
Today I'm proud of myself because I haven't binged even after I ate a trigger food (bread).0
-
Thanks you guys! It feels great to be part of a group of people who truly understand!
Today I'm proud of myself for going to the gym for the 3rd day in a row! I haven't done that since December. It really is the best therapy for a bad day at work. It's kinda funny, considering being drained from work stress was always my excuse for "not bothering" with the gym.0 -
Today I am proud of myself for eating 2 of my trigger foods and still managing to STOP myself before the binge took over!!!! I'm so excited for myself! 0

Today was a better day. 152 grams of protein - primarily from 3 scoops of cellucor that I added to oatmeal. Only the 5th time in the last month I hit my protein target, but I have hit it 2 days in a row. And I must admit - I feel better. Placebo / imagined / or legit, I do feel better. Also, 42 grams of fat hit today. The goal is 45, so I was close. And the fats I got in my diet came from flaxseed, oatmeal and cellucor. So these were healthier fats.
Pluses: I'm not experiencing the fear & anxiety issues I had yesterday and this morning from eating. And I was able to go out and enjoy a 9 mile jog today. Praise God! It felt wonderful.
Minuses: My diet consisted of several servings of broccoli and 3 bowls of oatmeal again today. I've got to get away from this short list of safe foods. These restrictions lead to eventual binges.0 -
What great successes!
Maica & Queen, it is such an awesome feeling to moderate a trigger. Great work!
Moxie, I agree. A gym sesh is the perfect de-stresser. It can be hard to get out and do it, but you never regret it once you do
Ibleed, wowza great protein! Imagined or not (and I'd lean towards not), I'm glad you're feeling better from those awesome macros.
Today I'm proud of myself for biking to work despite the 92% humidity :sick:0 -
Awesome!!Today I'm proud of myself for living life. I may not be busting down goals one day after another, but I'm enjoying my life with my husband, staying active, and generally feeling great about where I am right now.0 -
Great job everyone!!
Today I am proud that I have gotten back on track despite life issues and challenges.
Be proud everyone and keep checking in! I love this tread because too many times we do not pat ourselves on the back for what we do good and so much positive to focus on the positives. It may not take away the negatives going on with us but it is less stressful than focusing on them only and not on the positives.,
Sending you all positive vibes......,!!:flowerforyou:
Yay! 0 -

Running my farthest ever (11.25km)!!!!!
That's awesome! Congrats on the great accomplishment.
I had 400 calories worth of something I would normally eat 1400 of. I ate to fit my daily calorie goal and saved the rest for the following day. I'm trying to train myself, slowly, that I can still eat the foods I want to eat, but only as long as I practice moderation. It's been tricky, but I'm sure this is the right step for me.0 -
Today I'm proud of myself for planning out my meals and eating well.
I'm proud of myself for reaching for a cup of tea instead of chocolate.
Most importantly, I'm proud of forgiving myself for binges past, and proud of myself for realizing my problem and working to fix it.
Keep going everyone! I'm so glad I joined this group - I love seeing everyone's accomplishments and support for one another. :flowerforyou:0
