Aug 1 mainly Oreos and home made bread. related to stress from crazy kids/lack of sleep due to kids and screwing up a job application deadline.
I'm feeling like I could just eat but I keep telling myself it is boredom because the kids are eating so slow. I just need out of the kitchen!0 -
Yay -, my belt and I agreed on the 6th hole today! I was at 6 holes last January when I got down to the lowest I've been at 234 and although I'm not down to that weight yet again, I'm pleased about the belt. All this strength training is making a difference on my body shape!
Yay! That's awesome!!0 -

I'm a little over today but not sweating it too much since I'm under for the week. I like seeing all of the green bars on the phone app graph.
I'm a little worried about the upcoming weekend. I have the "It's Friday, time to eat!" mindset that I need to break.0 -

Had a strong urge to binge yesterday at 8pm. I warmed up three mini vegetable egg rolls in the microwave. Ate HALF OF ONE and threw the rest. I know, I know, I shouldn't be throwing food away but that was the only way I was able to overcome the feeling and it has been really strong lately. I can't figure out why I'm having that strong urge almost every day. Maybe it's because I binged last Saturday and it takes a while for the feeling to decrease. I don't know, but yesturday was success for me!!
Well, here comes the weekend.
Love the weekends but hate that my chances of binging increases and to top it off, my friend is having a gathering for his bday at his house Sat night which will include food and alcohol. Good luck to you all! Here we go...........

DOn't even know what the deal was today, just trying to reboot and not keep eating the remainder of the day. What a vicious cycle but I feel so much better b/c I am not alone. This group is helping me so much! 0 -

The binge keeps winning. I am realllllly struggling right now emotionally and know I'm just numbing it and punishing myself, but it just makes me feel worse. Tomorrow I will break the cycle.

I'm not counting last night as a binge because I wasn't in that mindset. We went to a cookout and there was just food everywhere. It was more of an overeating/making bad choices kind of deal. I sort of feel like I should log it as a binge because I was so far over my calories.0 -

So stressed yesterday (darling autistic son had a bit of a bad day while I was struggling with time of the month and enormously crowded places (I hate crowds!) but it actually didn't even cross my mind to binge. Perhaps the bloated stomach helped!
Come on people, we can do this!!!

I am reading the book Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat and it makes so much sense to me!! I have been so over-focued on a number on the scale, dietary restrictions, weighing and measuring food, logging and counting calories and I am driving myself crazy. I haven't been able to lose these 10 pounds, since Jan just up and down a few pounds then back up and down. I am trying this week to eat intuitively and really listen to my body and not log or count calories. Eating good whole foods and letting myself know I am IN CHARGE. And if I am standing in front of the fridge or pantry and not really hungry to listen to my body instead of putting food in my mouth b/c I keep thinking I am craving something when that is not it at all! YEsterday was the first day I did that and I must say I had a great eating day and feeling really good.0 -
I Did It! I was so nervous because I was going to a birthday get together and knew there'd be lots of food and alcohol. I had two drinks (rum and diet coke) and 2 beef kabobs. I ate all the veggies and gave most of the beef to my sis. I guess it helped that the birthday boy is also trying to lose weight, so there was diet friendly food available. But anyways, I did not binge!!
