Well yesterday wasn't great. I made some not so smart food choices. I went to a concert and was starving by the end and couldn't resist passing up the tradition of getting a late night dinner. Oh well I went over by a few hundred calories, but I won't beat myself up about it. Today is a new day and at least yesterday didn't turn into a binge!0 -

Being honest, sigh. Today I'm sticking with produce..I have four weeks until I have to fit into this bridemaids dress, I need to be very serious. New motto: NO EXCEPTIONS. It is enough time to be healthy and make good choices.0 -

Today my daughter asked "mom, why is there no food in the house". My reply " because I don't want to eat it all". Which is how I feel today and pretty much all week long. Lets hope for a successful weekend. I have to work, so I'll stay busy

I actually lost some weight this week..it's been a long binge cycle and I am only losing weight that I recently gained. Still, I am better off than I would be if I wasn't on here struggling with the Monster.
One of my big triggers is lack of sleep and I have been working really hard on that one. I think it makes a huge difference. I actually track my sleep in the check-in section on here so I can use the reports to see my progress. I'm tracking HOC - hours on the computer, too. One of the best features of this site is the fact that everything I do gets logged and I can go back and look at what I actually do. I tend to pretend it isn't that bad:laugh:
Today makes 8 days binge free.
I am with you on this. Lack of sleep and stress cause the binging. Lack of planning too (which sort of follows after lack of sleep and stress!!!) I think if we identify what is doing it to us, then it won't be so bad of an issue. Will we ever be perfect? NO. . . but we're getting there :drinker:0 -

A curious thing happened last night. Prior to the March challenge, Thursday nights have been my binge nights (and Friday and Saturday). This is because I have my accountability weigh-in and meeting early that evening. In March, I still looked forward to my food on Thursday nights, but last night I didn't. It wasn't due to what I had planned to eat, but rather eating in general. As it now stands, my easier times are when I am not eating.
This is odd for me. That not eating is easier. I've been planning my food so that each meal I have something to look forward to, but I have been repeating my snacks with items we have on hand that are low triggers for me. Perhaps I am bored with them. I denied myself traditional Christmas and Valentine's snacks, but I'm considering budgeting in Easter snacks. This is a bit scary. I hope to find a single portion to purchase, so that I am not tempted with multiple portions of a snack we don't normally have in the house.
The other strange thing that is happening is that my anxiety and depression have lessened during these 4 weeks of no bingeing. I had thought that taking away my food-crutch that I used to avoid painful feelings, would make me more irritable, anxious, and depressed. Instead, I have more confidence. This confidence is not due to weight loss. I've lost a moderate amount of weight (considering how much I was eating while bingeing I would have thought I'd have lost a lot more) and am realizing that I need to learn patience regarding the slow way I am losing weight. It was explained to me that my confidence has grown because I have a plan and I am in control. Instead of reacting to situations and stuffing myself, I am being proactive and planning ahead.0
