November Challenge - Me vs. The Binge

Doing better since the 25th. However, I can't take the binge out of my head. I keep thinking it's not fair that I can't eat what I want like I did over the weekend, which was over 2000cals/day. Once I've binged, it's hard to get it out of my mind! I've been trying to tell myself that it IS fair to be trying to eat healthy because that is the way we are supposed to be eating! I'm doing myself a favor by trying to eat this way and exercise. In the long run, I'll be thankful. I can't let the binge take me over......

Ahh, I get that mind set a lot. Just tell yourself that food is energy, not a reward . You deserve to energize your body, not over eat.
Good luck!0 -

Broke the cycle yesterday but for dinner didn't make the best choices, oh well, it didn't turn into a binge. Back at in another day! I find this disease consumes the majority of my thoughts--if it isn't binge eating it is over eating, what I should or shouldn't be eating, those stupid "rules" I can't seem to stop telling myself, or how I am feeling about my size, how I feel I look, etc. I am tired of it. Yesterday I was trying to tell myself that I am perfect JUST the way I am and that seemed to work for a bit and then I had to get dressed in something other than spandex pants and the negative thoughts came pouring back in about how fat I am and even my fat jeans are tight. I need to just love myself for who I am right now...man that is hard!
This is totally me too. It consumes my life...either it's about what I'm going to eat, what I'm not going to eat, how I'm going to stop bingeing, how I'm going to lose weight, on and on and on. I have just noticed it's WAY worse when I'm bingeing or trying to stop. Since I've had six days without bingeing I've noticed the "voices" in my head have stopped, for the most part.
This may sound pathetic, but I can't remember the last time I had six consecutive binge-free days....I think back in August before my vacation. You have no idea how grateful I am to have all your support. Thank you.0 -

No problem! I appreciate the support from everyone on here - it really does help me and the binge eating issues.0 -

Strange how they were all at the beginning of the month......I am going to have to start looking for patterns.....the only one I have seen so far, is that once I have a binge, sometimes I will binge for several days before I can get it back under control....0 -

I had a really good eating day. I got some disappointing news and was very aware that it could lead to a binge but the binge did not win. I need to stay very mindful tomorrow and over the weekend. I really want to end this month feeling good and fueling my body with foods it needs or things I want in moderation!0 -

Today is the last day of the month? Wow! I'm both ELATED I'm almost at a month binge-free and STRESSED OUT by how behind I am at work! Deadlines!! (Telling myself that over-eating won't won't help get the work done.)0 -
Soooo, I've made a decision...........I turn 30 in two and a half months :grumble:
I've NEVER been able to reach my goal weight due to my binging. I always seem to be gaining and losing the same few lbs, but I want to challenge myself and use my birth date as the motivation and impetus I need to stop the binge in its track. I will finally make my goal weight on or before my 30th bday, which will be celebrated in VEGAS! I'm announcing this to you guys because I'm hoping this will push me to work a lot harder. So here's to a great Dec! :flowerforyou:

My breakfast was larger calorie than I planned. I had too much sugar, now I need to watch my sugar intake the rest of the day.
I will not let a higher calorie meal tell me I should binge... I could easily fit in this meal to my daily goal -- PLUS I'm going to exercise later anyways!

That's great! Planning my meals have helped me too. Of course, sometimes those meals don't go as planned, but once I've estimated the number of cals to consume, I try not to deviate too much from that amt.November 2012:

I had seven consecutive days binge-free! I blew it today. I knew I would. Sometimes I just know. I told myself earlier in the week when I wanted to eat that I could eat whatever I want after I weigh on Friday morning....so, honestly, in the back of my head I had it planned to eat junk. Plus I think I got too hungry for lunch. Whatever, after lunch I ended up eating chocolate and after that it went downhill. I feel like crap, of course, but I am learning from this and moving on. I will have a good weekend. Typically Fridays are difficult and weekends aren't, so that's the goal. I think for now I am going to weigh once a week on Fridays. I think that really helped me eat well this week.
Anyway, I am looking forward to continuing this in December. This sounds sad, but I am actually impressed that I got 18 binge-free days this month! That seems like a lot for me!
Congrats to all of us who continued with the challenge this month, let's keep it up! My goal for December is to have seven or less binge days. I can do that!0 -
