My Dad had a rough fall yesterday and in hospital so praying he will be ok. He is doing a MRI today so we will see. I was with him in ER until this morning and beat but suprisingly no urges to binge.
Thinking good thoughts for you and your dad, Mollie.0 -

Good day overall. I exercised right after dinner, and that took away my appetite like crazy. Wait--that sounds odd. I mean, I had planned to have a snack later in the evening, but after I got done with dreadmill/weight machine, I had no interest in food. Not sure if it's 'cause I was so tired or if my brain got flooded by exercise-induced chemicals. In any case, I was under calories by several hundred. Just didn't want to eat.0 -

Need to be honest. I'm over-thinking food. I know what I need to eat & I know when I'm full. I know it's possible for me to not focus on it so much, I have a million over things to think about!0 -

Today was so stressful. Just felt like nothing went the way it was suppose to. Needless to say I succumbed to the urge today after fighting so well yesterday.

Today is going well. I was up with the littlest one last night, but still managed to get them out to the park and then worked out later. It is impossible for me to binge because my dad is home all week. I am a little worried about the weekend because I will be alone with the kids and that is when I tend to give in.

The score is: Me - 4 days of no Binge and 0 points for Binge Monster.
This is BIG for me to not have had a binge over the weekend, because my accountability-weigh-in day is Thursday and I usually overeat until Monday. Then I compensate on the week days. I greatly dislike that cycle, of course.
However, I am very competitive and cutting out a picture of a face for the Binge Monster has made me feel like I am competing against someone real. I have also been preplanning my meals on MFP the night before. Then, if I want to make a change, I go adjust on the site first. That has reduced the chance of an impulsive desire putting me over my calories. Keeping at or below my calories is my boundary line. I know if I cross it, even just a bit, them I am in danger of approaching binge mode.
Although I am succeeding so far, I have the feeling of "when is the shoe going to drop?" Even if I had a million days of no bingeing, I would never take it for granted that I couldn't be blindsided by a binge.0 -

We all have different goals. 23 days of no bingeing would be successful for me...0 -

Went over today, but that's also because I ran out of time (and energy) to workout. I will definitely make it to the gym tomorrow though, and proud of myself for controlling my desire to binge on any and all foods!0 -

I traveled for a weekend in January and planned my foods ahead, even allowing for restaurant eating. The planning included bringing my laptop and recording as if I were at home. I did a great job the whole weekend I was away. But on the Sunday I came back, I binged at home that night. I thought, what an idiot. If I was going to binge anyway, I should have done it at the buffet restaurant I was at, instead of at home where I only had blah things to eat...
So I empathize with you for doing well and then having a let down. We are both much wiser for the next time when we have a major success. We'll know to shore ourselves up for what may be around the corner...0 -
Hi everyone!

And it is a monster. I had a good weekend. Today and yesterday I had the best of intentions and somehow they went out the window.
I'm craving sugar big time...I need to detox so the cravings will stop. But how do you detox when the cravings won't stop?0 -

Just reviewed my last month of posts on here.. so helpful to see my patterns!!

Previously I defined a binge for myself as eating 3000 calories over my goal. It is so helpful to me to have done that because I ate a lot one day and really was looking at it as a binge, which led to a real binge the next day....but as I look back at my food diary, I realize that the first day was just eating out with friends and overeating due to the social atmosphere and due to the fact that I had let myself get too hungry. It was not a binge, but somehow that self-criticism did lead me to binge later. I find that if I overeat and feel really full that leads to problems. Even if the food is on my plan, that feeling of my stomach being a bit overfull sends me running for something calorie dense? Don't really understand, but another reason not to overeat!!0 -

Welcome back greeky
I don't know what stuff you eat so don't know how to help with the sugar cravings. (Maybe consider opening your food diary?) but if you're referring to binging on sweets, choc and the like (processed foods) then i'd suggest switching to fruits and not obsessing if you go over the sugar limit! I'm a mega fruit fan so I eat tons of fruits! And sadly I still don't have my binging in check but it has been improving! I'd say do anything you can that helps minimize the binging!
For me it is not being alone and just constantly reminding myself to make better choices!! But I am still having some chocolate, bread and biscuits everyday! Just make better choices if you cannot eliminate them (dark choc, low calorie breads with as little ingredients as possible etc)
It helps when I know how much others know I eat, and so when I have a loaf of bread I make sure I make known to everyone in the house that I bought a loaf (by putting it in the living room or kitchen counter) and so I try my best to practice moderation! If you're living with someone try to see how they can help keep you accountable!
But really, as long as you restrain from buying too much of them, you wouldn't have them!0 -
