The Binge - 1 (Sun 7/1)
I had to really think about if I was going to count yesterday as a binge or not. I decided not to. Although my food choices were not the best and I went way over my calories, I did not have that "stand in the kitchen, lost all control, deciding what else I can shove in my face" feeling.0 -

Binge: 2 (7/1; 7/4)
I don't know if I can really count Tuesday (7/3) as I got food poisoning Monday evening and couldn't keep anything down until Tuesday evening. Yesterday was what I call a "controlled binge"; I personally chose everything I ate and I just chose to eat crap that put my total at 4600 (ish) for the day. I did try to way overestimate some of my choices.0 -

I made it throuh the 4th and planned my eating very well. I even had enough calories set aside to go out for ice cream. The best thing...I didn't beat myself up over ice cream and so far, today I am doing pretty well. Usually I beat myself up and say, "if I screwed up a little, I might as well screw up a lot." Didn't do that today. Whew!0 -

Binge=2 (7/4, 7/7-both in social/party situations). I can't handle this type of open/free for all food at get togethers! Even trying to eat before going doesn't help.0 -
I definitely can identify with you and certianly have the same problem with social events. I also struggle with it at work when people bring free food. Sometimes I plan and I do well and others I don't. I have also tried eating before too. Just keep trying.Me=5

I also chew gum and socialize more to take mind off food. I also tell one of my friends who know about my struggles with binging and just them knowing keeps me accountable. I will just say tonight I don't want to get more than one plate. Just saying it to them keeps me from doing contrary.0 -

The weekends are tough!! One more day to go everyone!! One day at a time. How many of you count Friday night as the weekend? I do, Friday night actually is the worst for me. Saturday night too if I have nothing social planned. Sunday too because I am usually just slumming and relaxing at home.0

I went over my calorie limit yesterday by 350 calories or so but that was due to having a treat for breakfast after berry picking in the morning and it being too darned hot to get any sort of exercise. I don't think the 5 gallons of sweat I produced picking berries for two hours counts as working up a sweat. Even though I went over my calories, I would not consider it a binge. There was not that feeling of finally being alone in the kitchen so I can gobble up all the different foods that I have been thinking about all day long. There were a few touch and go moments right before I went to bed but I walked away and went to on to bed. 0 -

The binge hit me hard on Friday. Not very happy.0 -

Friday night is totally the weekend! It's the time in the weekend that Monday is the farthest away.
Weekends can go either way for me. During the week, I feel like snacking ALL THE TIME while sitting at my desk with my mind only halfway occupied. However, there is only so much that I can eat as I pack my own lunch. Weekends, there is a better chance that I will be busy doing something and not spend my time snacking the day away. However, on weekends, I have a whole kitchen at my beck and call and any eating out that my family does usually happens on a weekend and that in itself is a challenge.
My best defense on the weekend is to work in some exercise. It's a little easier because I don't have to rush out the door to work by 7am. If I want to do something that I consider fun like a bike ride or a hike, it allows me to burn some extra calories. Knowing that I've made that effort helps a little with self-control. I also try to find ways to occupy my time...that gives my brain less time to think about all that food.0 -

I was hoping for a clean sheet until Tuesday but a packet of gluten free cookies messed me up today.0 -

I will start as of today. - July 8th - Out of the 90 days I have been using MFP I have averaged about 45% binge days. I have lost 25 of the 60 lbs I want to lose however. I will give exercise the credit for that.
I am an emotional eater, so it will be tough.

Catching up! I was on vacation most of last week and was still able to stay tough for the most part.

Last night was a close call! Family baked brownies for a work function today and there were some left after everything had been packed up for work. I had one but it took every ounce of my being to not hang around until everyone had gone to bed and then eat the leftovers. It was hard but I definitely feel better about myself today because I didn't binge last night. Whew, a close call but a success nonetheless.0 -
Last week turned into a disaster. I took the week off from exercise and my eating was willy-nilly, eat-whatever-i-can-fit-in-my-mouth. I didn't log my food this weekend and I know it was bad. I'm not feeling discouraged. I went to the gym this morning and that always helps with my outlook.
