Hello everyone,
I'm new to the group but I'm in!

Yesterday I had a mini-binge, not even comparable to those I used to do earlier - but it still was a binge. 3 pancakes. I didn't eat much that day because I didn't really have the time, so maybe it didn't do much of a harm, but I want to eliminate everthing that's bad for me. My bloodwork gives a quite great motivation - it shows that I REALLY have to pull myself together if I want to get healthy!0 -

Was super busy today, lots of physical activity so not much down time to wander aimlessly in the kitchen thinking of food.0 -

Hi, I read about this the other day, but then came down with tonsillitis so haven't really felt like posting - just trying to get some rest! Anyway, this is a marvellous tool so I'm in. Before joining MFP two months ago I used to binge every 4 days. I'm now down to around every 7-8, but am determined to improve. Any fellow binge-conquerors (think positive!!) can add me as a friend but please post a brief comment with your friend request as I can never keep track of who I've spoken to/read in topic forums!!

I'm using "binge" loosely here - my daily intake hasn't exceeded 3000 and my daily burns are generally between 2300 and 2900 because of work (I'm a waitress and live in NYC) - but it's the mindset that makes them binges. So, I'm not doing too well so far. But tomorrow is a new day.0 -

Good morning,
Finally got back on track yesterday. Friday was not too bad but still binging and Saturday did not have control at a party that evening but still all in all not the worst. I did have some control at times.
Have a good week everyone!!

.......and I was doing so well. Saturday, I had a baby shower to go to where there was food (nachos), cookies, and cake. I did pretty good there and did not have a bite of cookies and cake, BUT the shower was in the same city as my bf's gig (he plays in a band), so I decided to go see him play where there was an abundance of alcohol (byob) and food. I had a couple of drinks and then just ate, and ate, and ate
. I went over my cal. count by almost 1300 cals and was so upset at my self yesterday, but like ya'll always say: Learn from the binges and move on. 0 -

The last 3 days are a perfect example of how this thread AND logging all food is really helping me. I had 3 fairly high calorie counts (I like to stay closer to 2000) each day due to eating out & dense caloric items. BUT I did not binge. My behavior with the food this weekend was what I paid close attention to and not how I felt about the food itself (other than enjoying its deliciousness). I did not allow myself to feel bad about the food I did eat even though it wasn't very healthy. I paid attention to my hunger. Fri night I went out to dinner which is usually a trigger for me - but I did well. I avoided empty calories by drinking water, I ordered exactly what I wanted and enjoyed every bite, I didn't order dessert, I didn't stop anywhere afterwards for dessert, and I didn't binge when I got home.0 -
Good job Diane!! That is exactly what is recommended by most professionals for binge eaters. It is defintiely what Geneen Roth is recommending in the book I am listening to by her. Actually I feel that this could be why it has taken me a few days to get back off binge spree.0

Getting nervous now about relapsing. Really questioning every little craving and asking whether it is truly hunger.0
