Yesterday was the worst day I think I've had all year. Very depressing holiday. Took sleepy meds to put my butt to sleep at about 8pm so I'd stop eating. I could not stop.0 -
I did not binge on Thanksgiving! That's the first time in who knows how long. I did go over my calories for maintenance but I was mindful about what I was eating. There was even a pt in the day where my bf got a 2nd full plate of food and asked me if i wanted some. That is where I've always given in and eaten about 500-700 more cals before. I was not hungry so I said no and didn't have one bite of his plate. That's a huge accomplishment because I've always eaten food that was readily avail. It was sooo nice to not feel miserable all day! Thank you guys for your support. I know this challenge & you guys are what have helped me decrease my binges thus far for the month.

I don't know why I binged yesterday other than my usual home alone and urges to much. I delay it for a while and then I caved. I had an awesome day yesterday too. We saw a good Musical yesterday and my eating was going good and in total control. Then afterwards bam. I am even pre-logged the binge as I went to make sure I got it all logged.
Today is a new day for me!!
Good job to those of you who had a binge free holiday and for those who did not TODAY is a NEW day.
Put yesterday behind you.:flowerforyou: I don't celebrate holidays but the holidays are not happy days for many so in this you are not alone.

I went over my MFP calories a little yesterday, and Binge was trying to convince me that was a good reason to give him free reign. Why not REALLY blow it??I didn't give in to him though; this thread kept me from doing it. I didn't want to have to post a point for him this morning!0 -

Thanksgiving and the two days before sucked. Big binges. Grateful to be back on track. Yesterday I was barely even hungry. Today I'm feeling much better and I'm so glad. I think I'm still a day ahead - I'm hoping I'm keeping track correctly.
I'm staying off the scale at least until Tuesday. I know it won't help me to weigh. I have an idea of what the scale will say anyway so I don't need to see the number and obsess about it all day.
Congrats to those who didn't binge on Thanksgiving. I have to admit I'm a bit jealous. I also must say that the holidays are not a happy time for me (that's another story) so I'm not surprised that I am having difficulty right now. I'm just going to keep moving forward no matter what.
I'm confident I can make it through this weekend without bingeing. Wait, I *will* make it through this weekend without bingeing.
Thanks as always for your continued support.0 -

Well, what can I say about yesterday...:/. I was doing so well until dinner. It wasn't the worst binge but I was in the binge mindset. I'm upset that I ate that way but I'm glad it was only during one meal and then I told myself no more food! I even went out last night and after, my friends and I went to a restaurant. I was not hungry so I asked for a water and that was it! It's an accomplishment to stop the binge in his tracks.
The one good thing about the binge yesterday is realizing it was not as bad as they used to be. I was about 700 cals over maintenance for the day as opposed to the damage I used to do which would be about at least 1000 or more over maintenance.

I feel sick. I knew I shouldn't have taken the first compulsive bite, but I craved the indulging. I wanted to eat a lot of food. It sounds silly, but I am to blame. I didn't fight it. I let the urge win - even when I knew the overeating would lead to a binge, always does!!
I can relate to this poem:
There's a hole in my sidewalk ~ by Portia Nelson
Chapter One
I walk down the street
There's a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in
I'm lost. . . I'm helpless
It isn't my fault
It takes me forever to find a way out
Chapter 2
I walk down the same street
There's a deep hole in the sidewalk
I pretend I don't see it
I fall in again
I can't believe I'm in the same place
But it isn't my fault
It still takes a long time to get out
Chapter 3
I walk down the same street
There's a deep hole in the sidewalk
I see it there
I still fall in. . . it's a habit
My eyes are open
I know where I am
It is my fault
I get out immediately
Chapter 4
I walk down the same street
There's a deep hole in the sidewalk
I walk around it
Chapter 5
I walk down another street0 -

I'm ahead of the binge...I am actually beginning to think about a whole month binge free (what!?) as a real possibility next month. I have real momentum and that is awesome. I will keep taking it day by day and not judging myself though. Each day binge free is a victory.
It's crazy to me that when I saw this challenge in October I felt so frustrated because I saw so many people with binge free days and I felt so stuck in the binge cycle. I decided to go for it half way through November and now I am actually able to see a future that is not ruled by binging.0 -

Really feeling better today, much more back to normal and feeling so grateful. The last two days haven't been difficult, as I have barely been hungry but that's what happens to me when I eat 3000+ calories for three days in a row (thanksgiving and the two days before, ugh). Definitely not complaining though! I'm still not weighing, I think I will weigh on Friday - that will give me incentive to do my best during the work week (which is the most difficult for me).
It's crazy how much my ED rules my attitude and outlook on life...I'm so depressed and hating everything when I'm bingeing and when I'm not I'm so much happier. I hate how "Ed" tricks me and I go back to the food for whatever reason...it always makes things worse, never better. Today "Ed" will not get me.
Thanks for being here and doing this with me, I can't do it alone. Here's to another binge-free day! Let's have a good one, my friends!

You hit the nail on the head with this one! I find myself being depressed and ashamed and don't even want to go out and see people. When I eat well I am proud of myself and in such a better mood. Now if I can go on a streak of fueling my body with good food....that is my goal this week. I hope you are having a good day!

Starting a detox tomorrow with enough cals and fat to keep me full. There are no added sugars so I'm hoping to get rid of my cravings for junk! Back to my normal schedule : )0 -

The binge just started today by eating ALL of my calorie goal in the morning, going to church...going to lunch with friends and eating light....then going home after eating "healthy" in front of people.... I binge at home . Then I go to dinner later, not even hungry at all. Now I'm home and it's late... I don't need food. I feel so sluggish from binges today -- I hate this. I despise the attitude the binge gives me, my optimism and confidence goes down the drain whenever I let the binge win. I don't know who else to talk to about this so it helps to write it out here.
My goal next month is to binge no more than 3 times.... and to stay in a good calorie range... I can't bear to look at the scale
