Yesterday was so unnecessary....there were the same circumstances that cause me to binge over and over again. I just have to learn from them.0 -

Thanks!! I just have to keep pressing on. I am making some changes to save time and make my life a little less stressful, and that has been helping tremendously.

The eating BEHAVIOR wasn't too out of control yesterday, just large and very calorically dense meals. But there's really no excuse for being 1100 calories over a half-pound per week weight loss goal. So I gotta log it as a binge to keep myself accountable. However, I am proud to say I finished my journal to the best of my ability!!!
Wishing everyone a great week! :flowerforyou:0 -

Everyone here is doing amazing!! I haven't been stopping to reply to people often, but I've read the posts. So proud of you all!
Just thought I'd share this... I really liked it... I know this is a topic post for the binge vs us challenge so I hope you don't mind when I post long replies with off topic things... haha.
Declaration of Self Esteem:
“I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it — I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know — but as long as I am good and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to make me a better me.
However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded. I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do.
I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.
I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.”0 -

Tempted, but I'm stronger than the urge.0 -
Struggling and fighting the urge. I will not let the Binge defeat me......
After doing so well for 2 weeks, the urge hits me hard. It's a pattern I've noticed for the past few months. I don't know why it occurs, but it's around every 2 weeks. It used to be every week before doing these challenges, so I know it's gotten better. Does that urge ever go away? Will I ever get to the pt of not having to worry whether I'll binge?

I've been repeating to myself "I do not binge" and other positive saying, in the mirror daily - based off of what I have heard that saying positive things over and over dialy your brain will start to believe it.
The 18th's activity was non existent. Horrid. But I made up for it on the 20th with 19,000 steps and over 14000 on Sunday. Yesterday about 12000. Monday could have been a better day. I felt I ate more than I should have so I counted it.0 -

I think I logged every day this month except for two, I don't remember which two and don't feel like going back to look, lol.
Haven't checked in since Sunday but Monday and Tuesday were great, no binges and under calorie goal. :happy:
My goal is to get through the workweek with no binges. Sounds simple enough, sometimes it's easier said than done. I will do it this week though, and I am taking Friday off so I only have two days to get through .
I can and will do this!!0 -

At least you get two weeks! For me it's more like three or four days! I don't know if the urge ever completely goes away but you are doing great!0 -
OMG! I am here at work and I just had some instant oatmeal with granola sprinkled on top, I am not hungry but i WANT TO EAT. I cant stand these habits. I am drinking water instead. Yesterday I did good until I went home, and RAAWWRRR, any advice or words of encouragement? i really want to be in shape, so bad you would think that it should be easy then to avoid the extra calories but it is not.0

Yesterday was great. I felt like I had a lot more energy than usual. I also took a cue from a few of my friends and started giving myself just a calorie for exercise...I always use exercising as an excuse to overeat. I believe in eating workout calories if you are truly hungry, but my workouts aren't overly strenuous. So we'll see how this goes.0 -
