    Well...I tested myself. It was 27 days ago that I last binged and today, I made to conscious decision to plan out a little binge just to see how it felt. That sounds odd but its something that the author of Brain Over Binge did, in a sense, and I've read her book. I was in control of it. And stopped it long before I would have in the past, and I learned that I have made huge strides. I've learned I no longer need to act on urges to binge. I learned that I can ignore that voice telling me go overeat. I know that tomorrow I am getting right back on track because, even though it was a "controlled experience," I still feel icky about it. I feel so much better when I don't binge and I like myself a hell of a lot better too. I am a happier and more energetic person. I'm a better mother and wife. I enjoy life and day to day stuff more, and get more done. I can't say with 100% certainty that I will never binge again but...I am pretty sure I won't in the way that I did today, and have before. Overeat, yes, cause I love food and sometimes that's just the way life goes. But I've lost pounds and inches and received so many compliments and felt 100% better about myself over the last 27 days, and I can't wait to see what things are in store for the next weeks and months and years.

    Sorry that was so long...I wanted to be honest and get that out. So...

    Pudding1980 - Congrats with the experiment and the feeling of control. It has shown how much stronger you are and it adds confidence to being able to control the binge-beasts urges. Congrats on 27 days, on staying positive, and congrats on moving forward! So happy for you this morning!

    Pudding - Congrats! I think there comes a point when a binge can truly be a learning experience. You learn that you can control the urge, and that in the end you feel so much better when you don't listen to that voice. Weight is only one facet of it. Like you, I feel that I am a better person to be around when I don't binge.
