I had the calories to have a few nibbles on the snacks I wanted, and I felt full and then stopped. I say this is a win. :bigsmile:0 -

Binge 1 (10/3)
So it seems that every Wed. I end up bingeing. I do get a lot of exercise on Wednesday's, my fit bit calculated almost 600 calories burned. I find myself very hungry and start eating something that looks good in the pantry and end up binging. Last night was after dinner and I was still hungry. Instead of just making something else to eat I started snacking and before I knew it had eaten 5 cookies that I had made and then some nutella and then got into the kids snack cabinet. Today is a new day and I am really trying to break the cycle. I think I need to come up with an eating plan on days I burn more calories than other days b/c I tend to eat close to the same foods all the time...or maybe that is the problem?0 -
After an 'okay' September, I was even more motivated for October, until I gave in to the binge monster yesterday. I noticed I can go a few days at a time, sometimes even a week, but then I give in. I'd like to try to go at least the next 7 days, and ideally much further. I hope to check in regularly too! Thanks for being here everyone!

October Goal: Read Geneen Roth's "eating guidelines" early in the day each day to remind myself how to approach food and eating.

analysis: I'm trying to eat a few more vegetables, and I have been making an effort to eat slowly. (I've been a fast chewer for...ever! Over time, I'm hoping to develop a slow-eating habit.)
Daily Reminders--Geneen Roth's Eating Guidelines
1. Eat when you are hungry. (Truly hungry, body hungry not mind hungry)
2. Eat sitting down in a calm environment. This does not include the car.
3.Eat without distractions. Distractions include radio, television, newspaper, books, intense or anxiety producing conversation and music.
4. Eat only what your body wants. (Big difference from what your MIND wants!)
5. Eat until you are satisfied. (This is different than full.)
6. Eat (with the intention of being) in full view of others.
7. Eat with enjoyment, gusto and pleasure.
❤ and...❤
8. Eat slowly.0 -

Managed to put on 4lbs from Wednesday's binge. Hoping it's just water weight and will level out. Feel pretty gross.0 -

Oh, the scale does that to me after a binge. It may be due to high consumption of salt that resulted in temporary weight gain as it caused your body to retain water. Therefore, try drinking lots of water to flush it out. I've learned to weigh myself ONCE a week and not after a binge. Give yourself a few days and try again. I guarantee that scale will be a little nicer.0 -

So disappointed with myself. The binge wasn't as bad as it could have been but I was doing well this week. I talked myself out of going to the gym earlier; a mistake. It would have been a better way to get out my frustrations. I purged a little bit, but not everything. I hate vomiting more than anything so I guess it's a sign of how desperate I felt in the moment. I'm still under my weekly calorie goal, but I feel gross, fat, and my stomach hurts. Blech.0
