Need to vent about something small..
I was telling someone face to face about how this one girl has the perfect figure - then the lady said "No... not really; that girl could lose atleast "x" ammount of weight in her stomach. " O_O.... She looked great to me... why do people judge others so much on appearance.
I walked away curious about what she thought of me - I have a lot of chubby areas. I feel self conscious around people who judge by looks so much.
This makes me feel a bit down. When I was home I wanted to say "screw it, theres no hope , I'm not losing anything right now... I should just indulge today - I'll never look slim, I love food too much. I can't cut calories... I'll probably just always be a big person."
Truth to challenge my negative/depressive thoughts - I can lose weight, anyone can do it. I just have to keep my mind focused on whats important and stop drowning my sorrows/stresses in food. I need to learn balance, even if I don't see the scale move I'm doing something right... I know continuous binges are NOT good on my health at all.
Ugh. I feel like I'm constantly arguing with my inner critic.
I won't binge...exercise sounds good right now. and tea. I already had lunch; no physical hunger at the moment for food.
Icey, that's a great example of how to counter your inner critic with the TRUTH! Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, it helped!
I just noticed my binge count is wrong. We haven't even got to the 22nd, there is no way I can have that count! I'm lost, I dont even know where my count is. I don't think I'm over the binge days, though.
Maybe

Well, I don't want to purge. So I have to keep that in mind. If I don't binge, I won't have to. So I guess that's motivation to me. Probably doesn't hep y'all 0 -

So, I ended the day defeating the binge!! I had to eat a small meal at dinner since I ate so much at the beginning of the day. I finally grabbed all the goodies co-workers gave as gifts and handed it all to the bf instead of leaving it at my desk. I know that'll help a little while I'm at work. I plan and will force myself to go to the gym as much as possible too. Thank you all for the support. Hope ya'll have a good weekend!

I can't honestly log my binge stats anymore because I forgot where I was at and found out yesterday my logging was way off because the date was the 20th and I had over 20 days .
I went to bed at midnight, woke up at 6:30 AM. I ate breakfast... a good balance of calories. Did an ab workout, layed around being lazy after.... ate another mid morning snack. Had a warm beverage. (it's so freezing outside.. I would have felt great if I went out and ran....too bad the weather sucks)
10AM -- I ate a few servings of this and that, adding my calories up to 1,300 . That doesn't sound bad to some but my calorie goal is 1,600 if I want to slowly lose weight... I shall either stretch out 300 calories today or I will eat my maintaince (2,000)
I feel like I punish myself sometimes by just eating all those calories. I know I'll either go to bed hungry or I will eat too much and feel guilty, or worse...binge . I don't want to consider that, though!!! I went to bed semi hungry last night because I ate too many calories too early and didn't save more than 100 for dinner.
I wasn't hungry . I just started shoving more food in my mouth, and I was thinking of the negative effects...and I didn't care too much. It's like I don't care about myself and sometimes I feel like I deserve to punish my body. It's so crazy I don't even know why I feel this way. I think it might be because I am overweight and I don't like that. If there was X food in the house right now I'd be tempted to eat a whole thing of it. It's like I want to eat and eat and feel numb and then go to sleep. I think I feel lonely today. A bit stressed over the holidays. Annoyed that the weather sucks so I'm inside more often. I don't feel normal with all these binge urges .
On the positive side, it wasn't a bad overeating session... I didn't even go over 3,000 + calories.
Cons; I feel binge-y. I ate outside of my hunger cues. I feel really negative today.0 -
Just thinking today. Can I really blame these emotions and urges on the holiday season? The temptation is literally everywhere, home, work, family gatherings, etc. I know it is up to ME to say no, but at no other time am I surrounded by this much stuff! I am hoping that as soon as I leave work today I can go back to my 'normal' diet and avoid all these treats. Does anyone feel this way? I almost feel like I've made an unhealthy lifestyle switch, but I refuse to believe that. I was feeling so good at the end of November, it's time to start that up again. I hate blaming outside factors, but I really think it's the problem. Sigh.0

Me - 12.
Binge - 9.
Binged again before bed, in the early hours, obviously a continuation of the evening before.
Didn't go over my day's goal, however, due to doing 2 hours of cycling.0
