challenging myself this month, who's with me? (:

kelbelzz

I've had a really bad week of binging. Probably an entire week of going over my calorie goal by 1,000+. I've struggled with an eating disorder for around nine years. I'm trying to find the balance between restricting and binging. Well today, I consumed a hotdog, 5 oatmeal cookies, two handfuls of m&m's, two chocolate chip granola bars, and two reese's peanut butter cups. Clearly craving chocolate.... I ate all of that in a matter of ten minutes. And I had eaten three meals throughout the day. And panicked because of the binge and the amount of food I had eaten, and I purged. For the first time in years.
It was really an eye opener. I need to recover, and I need to stop binging. I want to be healthy. As I'm sure y'all do too. So I was thinking since tomorrow is the first of the month, to start a challenge. For anyone to join, or just for myself.

In the month of May, I will complete the 30 Day Shred/Ripped in 30 Days & running at least a mile a day. (I can't decide which one yet.) I will eat healthy for the entire month. And most importantly, I will be BINGE FREE for 30 DAYS.
So if any of y'all want to take this challenge with me, let me know Obviously the 30 Day Shred/Ripped in 30 can be replaced for whatever.

Im new to this but am up for trying out the binge-free month i hit an all time low and realised i need to change after i had lost weight and managed to fit into my old coat from last year to find after almost two weeks of bingeing i now cannot do it up sad times!!

i power walk three miles a week to work, so its a good start to exercise

I'm in. the amount of times I've lost and then regained due to a binge is depressing.

Since March the longest I've gone is 10 days but most if the time is 4-5 days.

This for me too. A month seems so overwhelming. I can do anything for one day, right?

kelbelzz

Yay, I'm glad some of y'all wanna join!
One day is good too! Because if you can go one day, you can challenge yourself to go another, and hopefully you'll make it to a month. That's what I'm doing. Each day is a new struggle, but I want to challenge myself.

We can do this

hmm. i guess i forgot about this challenge tuesday night around 10 pm.
well anyways wednesday night= SUCCESS!. Probably overdid it with the peanutbutter during the day, but i stayed under my calorie limit and i made it through the night hours. (major accomplishment at this point.)
I have high hopes for tonight as well.

I'm in..my last binge was on April 30. My cycle lasted for the last 1/2 of that month. I gained 5lbs. I'm thinking this month a more recovery month, to lose what I gained. So please add me so we can continue to support and encourage one another, I need it. I'm a big binge eater and a constant one too. It's still tough, but so far I'm making it. I'm learning for comfort foods, veggies are the way to go.

I'm SO in! I've gained back everything I lost because of binging. I also struggled with an ed.

WalkingGirl1985

I lost last night and went on a big binge..(I was like 3500 calories over) I felt sick in the early morning hours..my binge went on from like 5-9pm on and off. 330-4am..I felt nausious and threw up. Got on the scale this morning, looks like there was hardly any damage there..maybe .4lb Not the way i wanted to get rid of it, it was very discomforting..but this is a lesson learned.

binge free days ; two!
i've been eating healthy foods & i think i gained weight. i'm not weighing in today. feelin' kind of fat ha. SO, i've got a week to be binge free & a week to weigh in.
