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.

MamaDee's got me wondering. Do we ever get over the binging or are we just able to go for longer between them or not binge as bad but the compulsion is still there?
New job is going good. The commute is hard (1 hr there, 1.5 hr home) but they are moving in November to being 30 minutes away. I can't wait.0 -
October Goal: Read Geneen Roth's "eating guidelines" early in the day each day to remind myself how to approach food and eating.

I'm wondering the same thing. Will I ever be able to get to the point of not having to enter every single thing I put in my mouth and just be able to eat healthy? Will I ever get over binging? It seems for me Anorexia (even though it was a slow process) was easier to overcome than binging. I no longer feel the need to starve myself but still have the urge to stuff all foods in my mouth. Like you said, I'm able to go longer periods without binging and it seems that my binges are not as bad, but it still happens about 2-4 times a month for me. It would probably happen a lot more if it wasn't for this blog.As of October 18 2012:

Jumping in mid-month (starting October 12th):
Me: 7

My hardest day was 10/13 because I went to a dinner party (it was my first day actually logging food for a social event). I ate light but regularly during the day - breakfast, lunch, and snacks. When I got to the dinner party, I ate veggies first, picked out the "dinner" options (heavier foods I would have more of), sampled a few treats, and 1 true serving of chocolate cake (no extra crumbs). All in all turned out not bad and I was able to stop eating when I wanted too rather than till I was sick to my stomach.0 -
As of October 18, 2012--goal: to binge no more than 7 days
Me: 12
Binge: 6 (10/5; 10/7; 10/12; 10/15; 10/17; 10/18)
Having a tough time this week, mentally. I think I know the reasons. I haven't been exercising this week and that combined with the binges, is making me feel all fat, bloated, jiggly, and gross.0 -

Had a good week/weekend. I only worked out 4 days last week but still did well when it came to eating. I even baked cookies but only ate 4, (2 Sat and 2 Sunday). As long as it fits within my macros, right?

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." ~ Michael Jordan
I see some new faces -- Welcome to our little challenge![/b]
This month went really fast to me -- I can't believe it is almost November already.
Keep up the good work and have a good week!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Even if you are struggling you are checking in so that is helpful in itself and keeps you accountable and mindful at the same time.0 -
