Thanks everyone for your support. I like that term too and I can't take credit for it - I got it from beatrixia.
No binges today so that makes it a good day. I went a little over calories but that's because I didn't exercise. Today did turn out to be rest day. I feel guilty and lazy when I don't exercise but I think it's probably good to let my body rest for a day so I try not to worry about it.0 -
You are doing fine. You are still ahead!Me - 9.

Not doing so well now.
I really hate food right now.
I know, I have the same numbers and I was thinking I was still doing ok! :indifferent:0 -

But still, you had some binge-free days. Breaking the cycle is the hardest part but once you manage to do it, every day will be better. We all struggle. You have problems in the evenings, don't you? Try to focus on something else, something you love. Talk to someone. Talk to us.0 -

Mollie - 11
The Binge - 4 (1st, 2nd, 11th, 15th)
Days I did not log it all - 2 (Goal to be no more than 4 days)
I don't think yesterday was really a binge but since calories was so high and it was within 2 to 3 hour range too much food and was not hungry at all I am counting it as a binge. The positives for me is overal cal not over 3500 and net calories was under 3000! Thank goodness I had a good workout because I knew I was going to have temptations yesterday. I mindfully indulged too but overall yesterday could have been so much worse for me and I was in control most of the day for sure. I also relax a bit when I have had a good week in weight loss. Not sure what to do about this but I am getting back on it today for sure. I have a big challenge today so I hope I am mindful and in control like I was yesterday.0 -
Me: 7....at least I've won one week this month. (not straight in a row, though...)

Too many holiday festivities to keep track, just counting this weekend as a binge one and moving on. I need my me score to go up. This week will be so much better as I prepare to tackle home. I haven't been home so I miss working out, too! phewf.0 -
I'm not sure what my total count is, but I know the binge has been winning for a while. I went on a streak. I'm going to try and gain back control again, one day at a time. I think the closest count would be like this as of yesterday (12/15)

Good job of finding the positives in your score. There is always a positive or 2 if you look for them instead of focusing too much on the negatives and most of all beating yourself up for imperfections.Me: 7....at least I've won one week this month. (not straight in a row, though...)

I will not binge today.

Sort of minor binge on dark chocolate I suppose but still under calorie goal anyway so not counting it.0 -

Much better day today but I was tempted not to log it all and I did it. I took a page from Bea and went ahead and made my diary private. If I feel this is not hurting me I am going to go with a private diary for a while. It is probably just me but some how even if a persom compliments me for a good day for my diary is not good because they only comment on a good diary IF my calories are under 1500 or in the green. So that means they feel all the other days are bad days or not good because over 1500 calories. They not knowing that my goal is 2000 not 1500. I set it at 1500 for my own purposes. So since my goal is to eventually set it at 1200 I know people will not get it. Yes some days I try to have calories low but overall not my daily goal. My ultimate goal is to eat between 1600 to 1800 each day and weekends under 2200. So I closed it for now. If anyone wants the key to my diary from this thread please let me know and I will give you the key to my diary and change from private to key.
Good night and thanks for support and keep checking in. The holiday's are almost here and gone so the hardest time of the year will be over and on to 2013!! YAY!! Have a good week!0 -

Good for you!! I think I might try this myself. This is the one thing I haven't done, turn my diary to private. I have not recently been logging my binges b/c I don't want people to see how I have been eating. I think if I only had friends from this group, I would be fine with it, but I don't and those people just don't understand!!!0 -

Like I just said, maybe having a private diary will keep me in check to log binges. I am embarrassed and don't want people to see---now this group I am fine with but not any one else. Need to keep something in check through the end of the year so I don't go completely crazy over these holidays! Part of me is saying I will just start up in the new year again--ah my negative self talk again. I find I am always looking for some sort of excuse instead of taking responsibility. Here is to a great week everyone!!!0 -
Sorry I've been AWOL for the past week but have been sick with a bad cold and am still coughing. As a result, I'm going to restart my monthly binge count.
Restarted 12/17

The weekends are so tough for me. I did ok Saturday night at my sis' graduation party with all the food available, but Sunday was another story. I've noticed a little pattern forming. I work so hard to keep from binging on a certain day and usually succeed on that day, but sometimes the next day becomes the binge day. If there'd been more food available yesterday, I would've kept on eating. I had to go to sleep early because I couldn't keep the binge out of my head!

Binged all weekend. I logged everything (well some was estimated because none of my portions were carefully measured, but I assume I was pretty close) I ate enough to put on three lbs of fat. I will not avoid the scale. I have to face the consequences, I'll try and do well this week.0 -

Had a mammoth 2 and a half hour bike ride today, over lots of hilly terrain, but not felt like binging though I did crave chocolate a bit.
I wont be able to binge over xmas as I usually do because my bf will be with me, and hardly going to be able to sit binging before bed when sharing a room. One plus to it, I suppose (he is skinny and normal eater which tends to trigger me and make me feel very negative),0
