I am kinda worried about tomorrow. I am having a colonoscopy so half day yesterday and all day today has been clear liquid only diet. Afraid that may trigger something once I can eat again.0 -

And I went back this morning and logged it all!! YAY!!! Not too bad and not sure a real binge but calories were way over and there were some control issues going on. I don't know what it is when I take my car in for an oil change I have to get junk from vending machine. :grumble: Then I was like why not and hit Panda Express and instead of getting the bowl like I normally do I got 3 plus a side. One good thing is I save a side to eat with my salad and it was not as bad as I thought

Hopefully I've got it out of my system.
Positives are it was a super long binge free stretch for me and the binges weren't as much as normal.
I hope to make it until the end of the month binge free!0 -
You are all so inspiring!!! I'm just joining, and my goal is to not binge for the rest of September! I did well for the first 2 weeks of the months, and this week hasn't been very good. I'm starting now and hope to have 8 days without binging!

My days were off, but I know I am very careful to track binge days so now I am caught up!!
I just went back and logged every morsel of my binge yesterday. It was not pretty but I thought I had went over 5000 calories and I had not. I had said last night I can't log all of this. So I posted here and saw my own words to LOG IT ALL and it is something liberating about logging it all. I can't explain it but I see the bad and ugly but I can see many positives compared to past experiences and see yes it was aweful but surely not as bad as I thought last night. All is good, getting back on stick today and like I have seen many others post I am shooting for the rest of the week being binge free. I also did analyze the why of yesterdays binge too. I am glad I made my goal this time an action(s) because this is so much better than a numeric goal for me. It helps me to be more mindful of the behaviors and not trying for perfection or to hit a certian number.
BTW AND THIS MAY BE TMI, but I am sharing it anyways because many of you may relate. In order to log my calories as correctly as possible I went in garbage to retrieve junk food wrappers this morning.

Happy Sunday to you too Mollie!!! That little dancing cat is adorable btw Thank you for your detailed post.
It really is helpful to me too to log it all. This was something I feared for a long time - it seemed to give me too much anxiety to go back and face what I had done again and there was no way I'd leave my diary open for others to see. So I just wouldn't log anything and sometimes it would even take me a while to get back to logging if I wasn't proud of my diaries. Since May I've been logging it all, the good, bad and ugly and it has been helping me tremendously. On the days that I just can't seem to find the willpower to go and do that - I remind myself that it isn't going to hurt me and that it will help me in the long run. Awareness has been a huge key to my success. As silly as this may sound, I often will pretend I am a research scientist and I'm merely documenting my subject's behavior. Maybe this will help you too. Thinking of it in a scientific nature also allows me to take away the emotion I would have normally associated with it. A binge isn't something I can undo so why bother dwelling - but it is something I can learn from so that I am better prepared in the future.0 -

Mollie, I do better when I track but sometimes I rebel about tracking. I try to get my binges. they might not be accurate because I don't do it at the time but I get the idea and there is no pretending that it is a normal amount of food.0 -

I like the science project example Diane. We are doing research so I will keep that in mind for sure. If we analyze binges and learn from them it is like we are doing research on ourselves and learning from ourselves. They are very educational if we examine them carefully and once the research is done, move forward to the next project. I love it! Thanks!! Today was a much better day too!0 -
