    Happy Friday!

    I am hoping I can have another binge free weekend!! That is the plan -- What is your plan if any? I think weekends are tough for us all. So just do your best and plan if you can and be mindful of what has worked before and what is not working now.

    This weekend is going to be especially tough for me because I have Monday off too. :noway: I love having days off but when it comes to binges not so happy and I am sure you all understand.

    Welcome new ones! keep on checking in and supporting one another. You all rock!! I don't have time to read all the post but what I do read is very supportive and encouraging.

    Have a good weekend!!:flowerforyou:
  • Haha, oh yes. I think I just may love it too much most days. ;p


    Michelle - 10

    Heavy overeating tonight. Sweets in the house from Valentines Day.
    Able to stop as soon as I got on here and logged. I don't feel very good physically, but my attitude is postitive. It's an isolated event.

    Binge: 1

    It would have been very different without my support system on here.,

    The Binge: 5 (2/5, 2/6,2/11, 2/12, 2/15)


    Meh... I binged yesterday, it was at most 3,500 calories - so not the worst. But, this morning I overate. Within an hour and I have 1,400 calories. I wasn't even that hungry but I ate high calorie foods - plus breakfast. I don't know, I don't feel sick.. but it wasn't all eating for hunger either. It DID NOT turn into a 3,000 calorie -in 1-2 hours- sort of thing... so..

    Dunno. I have a 5 day binge count at the moment - but maybe its more, maybe it's 7 days actually. If I counted days like this

    The non binge days haven't even been too low calorie, I expect weight gain this month :I If I'd get the guts to weigh in and stop allowing myself to get bloated.

    Sorry for the negativity. My food choices should not effect my mood and esteem so much. I give them way too much control.

    Quoting myself - it is not an "isolated event". Wishful thinking...fake it til you make it.......... 2nd day of overeating including sweets.

    Hi everyone!

    me 9
    binge 8

    Now I see where my problem is.
  • Me-12
    Food- 4

    Realized I don't care for the word binge. It is like submitting to my weaknesses, has a poor connotation. Instead, I am just using food....I just ate too much food. Helps me feel a little more empowered to know I can be in control over food versus such a strong action of binging.
  • The day after eating items that aren't as Heath for you tend to be hard.... Your body is unbalanced and trying to resolve itself and purify itself. It's easy to mistake those unsettling feelings for the urge to eat more, I know I do. Stay strong.... You got this!

    Yesterday I enjoyed a delicious meal that I may have been scared of eating in the past, since it used to trigger a binge. I enjoyed it and was able to stop. So proud of myself! Maybe I can actually go out and enjoy weekends now!

    I agree the day after a binge is hard. It is like my body is in withdrawl.


    Yesterday was great!!!

    No binges since my NYE resolution!

    I'm happy because I'm visiting my sister in Boston this weekend and her idea of a healthy meal is an egg, cheese and bacon sandwhich..loads of processed food here..normally I binge my whole visit! It's amazing that she's skinny..

    Binge 4

    Binged the past 2 days bad. I feel in such a bad place right now. I am disgusted with myself but trying to forgive and love me all at the same time. I am so sick of this cycle. It is hard to love yourself when you self destruct it with food and wonder what the hell you are doing to yourself. I look at my children and know they deserve better than this. I have got to beat this. I don't know what the answer is..logging food or not, I was becoming so obsessive with counting calories and now I am the point I just don't want to do it. There has to be a happy medium and just haven't found it. Hopefully tonight when I check in I will be in a better place, mentally, and beaten the binge for today.

    I have been there. I had a binge a few days in a row. The first couple days after are the hardest. Hang in there!!!
