    Not sure if it is classified as a binge or just massive overeating trying to find something that tastes!! I am sick and my taste buds are shot so I am just eating trying to find flavor. Not good right here before Thanksgiving!

    Starting 11/14:

    Me: 5
    Binge:3

    That is good for me! I've avoided a few binges because I knew I want to stay ahead and I will post on here and I've stopped a couple of binges sooner than I would have normally. Got my copy of Overcoming Binge Eating and really finding it useful. My first goal toward getting to a healthy weight is to address my binge eating!

    Another bad day. Have a hard time getting back on track after one binge so now I am 2 days of binges. Yuck :( I seem to have a good week followed by a bad week. This cycle has gone on for quite some time. All this year I have been trying to lose weight and sad to say I have only ended up gaining 15 pounds!!! My bingeing is definitely causing this and I don't understand why this year it has gotten so bad.

    I have been there Elizebeth, just find your way. If you can't figure out on your own I recommend professional help. It really is helpful. Just be determined to keep trying and so far this month you are still 10 points ahead so you are winning the war. Sending positive vibes your way!:flowerforyou:

    Be mindful of real hunger by asking "Am I really hungry?" before eating.

    Mollie - 13
    The Binge - 7 (1, 2,4, 6, 10, 11, 18)

    Did not log it all - 3 (Less than 6 days)

    Yesterday had the munchies but I still stayed under my calorie range of under 2000 so I am not counting it as a binge. It is in between :) I was proud of logging it all. I am trying to stick to this. I want to log it all because I do think this stops a mindless episode for sure.

    Well, so far I have done pretty well this week. I only work 1/2 day today and will be using most of that free time at the gym today. I don't know if I'll have a chance to go to the gym the rest of the week because I might go out of town Fri. My goal for Thanksgiving and the rest of the weekend is to eat at maintenance and enjoy my meals but to not eat when I'm not hungry. I want to wait until I feel hunger to eat again. I hope to make this the first year that I do not binge on Thanksgiving Day and the weekend after. Good luck to the rest of you!

    Me: 19
    Binge: 1 (11/3)

    I made it through Greek Restaurant night and even brought leftovers home which are now in my freezer. Even better, I made it through pre-Chemo week without binging; that's a first! I am SO happy to say that today I go for my last chemo treatment. I'll get a break and then start radiation therapy in January. I'm going to continue to beat the Big C AND the Big B together! BAM!

    That's an awesome feat to be able to go out to eat and take leftovers home! You can and will beat both! My thoughts and prayers are with you as you continue to fight the Big C and Big B. :flowerforyou:

    @Wilma: BAM is right!!! Congrats on betting the both demons..... Keep up the good work!!

    @Stephs0214: You can do it! One day at a time. Excellent plan on going to the gym this afternoon. I bet you will have the machines to yourself today.

    I plan on hitting the gym Friday morning myself. And exercising everyday this weekend if nothing but 15 min.

    The Binge: 6 (11/1, 11/2, 11/16, 11/17, 11/19, 11/20)

    I logged yesterday as a binge because I was unsure. It was DEFINITELY a small one for me, but I felt like I lost control. The day tipped off at 3,000 calories total.

    I'm determined to win today! No more feeling sick from overeating rich foods. I'm not letting the binge stomp on me!

    Did not log - 11/16, 11/20

    UGHHHHHH I had a feeling yesterday would be bad...seems I start to feel better after a few days and then I cave. I'm not feeling too great about today either...but I really want to make it a good no-binge day because I'm pretty sure I'll be over calorie goal tomorrow.

    Binge - 7 (11/1, 11/4, 11/8, 11/9, 11/11, 11/17, 11/20)

    Counting today as a NO BINGE. It's a little early but I'm planning on it and should be fine. I think I've gained weight but haven't been weighing myself, just too scared to do that. Plan on weighing myself after next week..I know it's inevitable.

    Same here, I'll weigh in sometime the start of December. Don't let that scale stress you out too much!

    Good job on beating the binge today. =)

    I'm feeling great sfter my last chemo; I went for a 3.5 mile walk/run this morning. I'm going to celebrate Thanksgiving with my nephew and family - Binge Monster is NOT invited. I'm sticking to my plan - no seconds and only foods that have some nutritional worth.
