    Today is such a fitting day that I stumble across this post. I only started MFP yesterday at the recommendation of my BF that said it was very helpful and user-friendly, and I've done great all day. As I was out running errands, I suddenly got this bad urge to binge, but i didn't. I remember my mind running through any justification i could make, one of them being, "it's only your first day" but i didn't. I didn't do it. I did not. So there, i may be joining late but better late than never!

    The Binge: 1

    This month has been going well so far. Only one binge in over three weeks is a gigantic improvement over the way things have been in the past.

    I feel really vulnerable today, though. My relationship of nearly 10 years is going through a very difficult patch and I don't know if we'll pull through. I am fully aware that binge eating will not in any way, shape, or form, help me, but of course somehow I still seek that numbness that only it can achieve.

    I am proud of the progress I've made recently and I need to fight the urge.

    Though I'm beginning to worry and wonder how long my winning streak can last. Today for some reason it was very hard to avoid the binge and I was afraid I almost wouldn't make it. Part of my mind was already at the 'because I'm already realllly thinking about it then i'm already screwed' stage, where you just say **** it and you give in, and I was able to NOT fall into the trap but only barely. Im sad that i feel disappointed in myself just for thinking it. Being at home alone when it happened made it even harder. And although I fought it and told myself no, the craving is still sorta there just below the surface...
