    I am at my parents for the weekend for my mom's birthday. I am not going to stay under my calorie goal, but I am vowing not to binge. I will try to stay within my BMR.

    You can do it, Pamelazee. Just put it off as long as you can, then if it happens, just let it go and start over tomorrow. I know it's hard. I've been stressing at work and with a surgery coming up, I feel my will is weakening. I just keep telling myself to put it off and if it happens, it happens.

    Today will be three days. Friday sucked, I totally stuffed myself and felt like crap. I went over on my calories during the weekend but I wouldn't call it a binge. There's definitely a difference for me.

    Congrats to all of you!! Let's keep up the good work!

    You all inspire me! Hopefully tomorrow will be my first binge free day. These posts give me hope to believe that this can be done!

    2 days.... in the last 2 months I've had 2 stretches of 10 days and then a bunch of 4 day stretches.

    The first day is horrible to get through and after that it takes an actual trigger.

    35 days. My longest stretch ever, I think.

    Yesterday was very hard. I had a high calorie day, and the temptation/compulsion to just say screw it, go all out was almost unbearable. I kept finding myself wandering to the kitchen for no reason, just standing there thinking of all the things I could eat. But I made it through, and today it is a little better. I think it gets a little easier the longer you go without binging.

    Sunday was my last binge. I may be over my calorie goal this weekend, since we have family in town and we will be eating out a lot, but I'm really going to try not to binge. Going to keep that idea of moderate portion sizes and not "giving up" when I'm over my calorie goal!

    A full week if I make it through tonight :)
    Last time I made 2 days in a row was over a year ago. So this is huge for me. I'm very grateful for everyone on MFP.
    Having a tough time tonight with some emotions I'd rather drown out, but I'm holding tight.

    Last night was the first night in awhile that I didnt binge. I was also home alone and had complete freedom to do whatever damage I wanted without anyone noticing. I didnt do it though!

    Thursday was my last binge. I really felt sick on Friday morning, worse than usual. It was horrible.

    I feel much better now after a few days...there's always a new day to start fresh! Let's make it a good one!

    THANK YOU to ALL of you for being here!!! :happy:
