Replies
-
As of October 1, 2012: - Goal to remain mindful of not binging and when I do binge figure out why and what was going on when I binged. I also want to log it all. (25 or more days binge free)
Mollie - 7 :happy:
The Binge - 2 (6, 8)
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.
8. Eat slowly.

The Binge: 1
(though I don't know if I should count it as one, I *almost* binged like.. 5 times during one day and stopped myself after one spoonful of whipped cream or cracker with peanut butter or handful of yogurt covered raisins. So far it's been... pretty manageable)
Mostly for me it's keeping a good relationship with food at all times so I don't lose control suddenly.0 -
As of October 9, 2012--goal: to binge no more than 7 days
Me: 7
Binge: 2 (10/5; 10/7)
I ate a lot of Chinese food last night and was way over my goal, but it wasn't a binge. It's getting easier to determine what is a ninge and what isn't. I still need to work on controlling both my binges and overeating habits.0 -

Must pull myself together. I know it is stress over starting my new job Monday after being a SAHM for the last 1.5 years. I also have lots of apprehension over the kids being in daycare and the logistics of it.0 -

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

The Binge: 2 :frown: :frown:
● Yesterday I did well until the end of the day and into late evening.
● I did not think about my food choices at all today, did not monitor my time eating...just ate. This is why I need the goal to read Roth's guidelines _every_ day.
● I have been sleep deprived for a couple of weeks now. I think the sleep deprivation is now affecting how well I cope with stress overall. Therefore, I'm going to really work on establishing good sleep time and quality for the rest of the month.
Edited to add: I did log yesterday and today, and I consider that a good thing. Daily Reminders--Geneen Roth's Eating Guidelines

Face New Challenges with Ease
“When facing something new, act like a child.”
When children try something new, they practice over and over until they master it. They make the challenge of learning fun and the work of training turns into play.
Unlike children, adults resist the unknown. We turn back to our old ways, to comfort zones that have nothing new to offer. Imagine yourself as a child. Now, how do you feel about that new project?
Next time you tackle something new, adopt the mindset of a child. Remain open and try not to place expectations on the outcome. Before you know it, you will be immersed in continual positive reinforcement. Success will come easily because you are thinking like a child!

Food for Thought…..
What will you think?
I've learned that negative thoughts are inevitable.. the negative thoughts
about myself will always come and try to scream louder than the Truth that
is in all the positive things about Me.. So I write down my attributes, my
accomplishments, my victories great and small, and I Speak them aloud.
I give them a Voice, I give them MY VOICE, the only voice I will
not reject and something stirs in me as I continue to read and speak about
Myself. A power rises up in me, a realization, a strong assurance and
boldness now carries the sound of Truth about who I am and what good I
have done and continue to do, it shouts back at those negative thoughts and
words that might circle in my mind attempting to belittle me, trying to chip
away at my worth, my ability, my reasons for striving. My Voice is the
weapon that is cutting away and drowning out the lies, the half truths
and the distorted images, My Voice speaking about Myself to Myself in a
Positive way renders those negative thoughts powerless. It is said, there are
at least ten negative thoughts per one positive thought, but I have learned
One Positive Thought can birth a Hope that creates a Visions that breeds a
Plan that Produces the Results of a Dream that was once just a Thought...
All I need is ONE.

I hope you don't mind me hopping in here. I just found your group. I keep track of my binges on a large wall calendar.
