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 used to have great difficulty with sleeping when I had a very stressful job. I compounded it by staying up late so that I could binge after my husband went to bed. I have since changed jobs and live a simpler life. In addition, I've been training myself out of being a night owl. One of the perks of more sleep is that I wake up weighing less than the night before. I couldn't believe that I burned calories while sleeping. Now, if I am having trouble with my food, I go to bed early and I am able to get to sleep.0 -

Two of those days happened while I was on vacation in England, so I'm willing to forgive myself for that. Also, the 24th was my birthday so what the hell. Today was mostly due to being sick and having candy in the house. A devastating combination. Tomorrow is a holiday and all the stores are closed, so I should be good ^^0 -

Binge-free for: 1 day
Well I guess it is time for me to check in. I'm not sure why but Thursday just took me by surprise and I wanted to binge and couldn't fight it off. It was quite bad, I can only guess it was 5000 or more over my daily goal. Unfortunately, Thursday night while driving to a friends house in Jersey (I go to school in Philly) I got a flat tire, and had to get triple A come and put on my donut. However the worker told me I could only drive 20 miles with the tire so I would not make it back to Philly. With the time of night considered I could not go to a shop to get a new tire, so I called my boyfriend to pick me up and had to leave my car in Jersey. The next day I desperately needed a ride back to jersey so I could get my car to a shop and be able to get home for the holiday weekend. Well first, I asked my mother to get me and drive me to my car, and basically because it would be too late in the day, she wouldn't make it back home in time for the church's Good Friday service. I was so hurt that my mom cared more about a church service than helping out her own daughter so she could come home for Easter. Next I asked my 50-some sorority sisters if someone could give me a ride, and only 2 people replied, neither of which had a car and could take me. I felt so worthless. I have all these people in my life that are supposed to be there for me when I'm in need and everyone abandoned me. I think I was over emotional yesterday for some reason, but I cried a lot over the whole ordeal. So obviously, that led to day 2 of binging. Today I was able to turn it around, but tomorrow is Easter so that means delicious and calorie heavy meals and desserts. I wouldn't mind indulging a bit but since I messed up so hugely, I'm trying to make up for it. However, I don't see how it would be remotely possible for me to show a loss Monday morning when I weigh in, so once again, I am reminded of the stall that binging puts on my weight loss goals

Worried about the brunch buffet tomorrow for Easter. My goal is to just eat at brunch and then have a lot of water the rest of teh day. I can do this. I will do this.0 -

kge0891 - :flowerforyou: I'm sorry you had such a traumatic couple of days. I guess the hardest thing is feeling like people don't have your back when you really need them. Maybe take comfort in the fact that it is Easter and most of these people probably had a lot of plans, and even if they may not seem that important to you (like your mums church service) they may mean a lot to the person involved. I would suggest that you voice your hurt to the people that matter most and let them know that you felt they weren't there for you. you may be surprised by how they respond. I've found some of my worst binges have been based on assumptions I've told myself that have been completely un-founded, and the person involved had no idea of the effect of what they said or did had on me. I have found that finding my voice is so therapeutic to me in this journey. Good luck with the Easter dinners. We're doing roast so "easy" to stay within goal for the day.
Look forward to posting a Sarah 21, Binge monster: 10 later today!0
