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'm going back to tracking. I eat to maintain without tracking so I need to keep tracking to lose!0 -

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!!

@eschorre:
I'm glad you found a book that makes sense to you and is helping. I think I need to take a change my focus, too. I have tunnel vision with numbers lately, and it's really tripping me up...even leading to some self-sabotage, it seems. (My goal this week is not to weigh myself until Saturday.)
Congrats on your great eating day. 0 -

I stayed within my calorie goal today but had a post-midnight binge session, so today counts as a binge day.0 -

I feel the need to log a binge whenever I go over my calories. I feel like I'm cheating myself somehow. I was over yesterday but I wasn't in the binge mindset. I got home from work around 7 and started dinner. I was super hungry but only ate a piece of string cheese. Usually, I'll eat something small and that will set off a binge; by the time dinner is ready, I've eaten 1000 calories. I didn't do that last night. My fiance ordered pizza (I started dinner before he told me) so I ate that instead of what I made. I ate a lot but it wasn't the absent-minded-random-food-shoveling that I do during a binge.0 -

As of today 8/14:
Me: 8
Binge: 4 (up to and including today 8/14)
My do I have a very strong need for pleasure and comfort. Coupled with a larger than average mistrust of people and shyness, makes food so perfect for me. I really need to find a different way.0
