Kge0891 - yep, I'd count that as a win too! I essentially did the same yesterday
Chibea - wonderful analogy! My boat needs pulling out too! I can find myself going along swimmingly for ages then things happen and suddenly *poof* I'm in that rough water trying not to drown - again!

Hello everyone!
I am doing okay now. My therapist changed my medication for anxiety. The thought is my anxiety might make my binge eating worse. Interesting thought but I don’t think so. Lol I have been fighting for 3 days with my insurance so they would cover it (and the stupid Dr’s receptionist that was in no hurry to get my insurance form signed by the doctor).
I have had a few good days. I cannot wait until grocery shopping day so I can get some more healthy snacks. I am running low. That is a big binge trigger for me (lack of good food choices). I need a variety of options to keep my snacking interesting so I don’t get tempted to eat crap.
:happy: :happy: :happy:
Jul158, You can do it!!! Keep trying.
Chibea, it takes me a while to get back on track. Check out my binge days. You can see one day can turn into 3 for me easily!
StrongerThanY, We can do this!
Mollie, those were neat stats about water!
MadDogManor, Have you done any hard workouts? Or heavy Strength training? I heard recently that you can be hungry even the next day after a harder workout.
kge0891, I don’t think that was a “real” binge. You went over your calories but you were thinking about each food item and made pretty good choices. Even if over I think that was a success!
SarahRea32, thanks!! Nice to know I am not the only one that has a hard time the day after a binge!

karendee, are you being sarcastic?
I totally know that anxiety is a big trigger for me. It's the desire to find something to make the feelings go away. Sometimes I catch myself looking and looking for the food that will do it and realize that there isn't a food that will. Even so, I often eat something anyway
I'm trying to meditate,,,funny how that rhymes with medicate... but if something unexpected comes up, I still fall out of the boat
Anyway, I hope it helps your eating and who needs to live with too much anxiety? Yuck!0 -

You might be right anxiety could be a big problem. I know I am an emotional eater and it seems that each binge this month has been in reaction to some extra stress.
I am learning relaxation methods too. They seem to be working. It is a method where you first tense the muscle then relax it. I can feel tenstion leaving my body.
I started the new medicine last night. i was hoping to deal with my anxity with only therapy but for now I may need some medicine for help. My binges increased when my other doctor weaned me off my other medicine. Maybe there is something to this.
I can still bige when my anxiety is low but it seems to be easier to handle.
I am also trying to re-train my reaction to stress. Yesterday so stressed dealing with my Insurance and the pharmacy. I could have easily bought junk food at the pharmacy but I walked right by it and did not binge. Big success for me!! That place is full of crap food!!0 -

I'm leaving for vacation today but have high hopes that I'll be able to avoid all binging. Weirdly, vacations aren't too hard for me since I'm with friends the whole time. This will be great practice. I'm going keep track though and I'll be back on 3-27-13! Love and strength to each one of you. Xxoo.0 -

It was great to have moderation this past week. I kept under my calories and I doubled up on my exercise each day, so that I didn't have to exercise excessively on accountability day. I then showed a 3.75 pound loss. This was great after three weeks of plateauing. Patience is a real necessity in this binge contest. I'm glad I didn't give up when my weight kept staying the same.
Tonight, I had a strong urge for a particular snack. I tried to see if I could make myself wait for it for tomorrow, but I didn't think I could. So I looked at what food I had left on my plan and I deleted it in order to add the snack calories. Then, I realized that if I so strongly "needed" this snack, I better not eat it too early in the evening. So I exercised a half hour longer than planned and sat at my computer to do some tasks for work that I didn't feel like doing. Now my snack will feel like a reward instead of a step down the slippery slope.0 -
