Not a great start to the month. I was in day 12 of being binge free. I really struggle in the 10-14 day range and haven't made it longer than that in ages. My additional goal this month is to have a Binge free stretch longer than 14 days.0 -
Terrible weekend. Binged Saturday and was not as bad Sunday, but I went over my cals by more than 500 cals so I'll call it a binge. Not a good start to the month

So mad because I was doing so well. I was 2lbs away from my goal weight and because of the binges, I gained 3lbs back. I hate that my binges always hinders my progress.
I have been losing the same 4 lbs since the end of June because of binging 0 -

FAR better Labor Day weekend than I remember last year being. I think a big mistake I've made in the past is allowing myself not to log on a holiday weekend as a reward for something else. I actually thought about it too - I've logged food each day May - Aug and am proud of that accomplishment, but I want to keep it going. And now that I'm allowing myself to indulge and practicing not feeling guilty about it, it is making a difference in that I don't mind seeing unhealthy food on my diary. I'm certainly not proud of the unhealthy choices but am proud that I am being mindful and that I'm logging it all. I know that I really have 2 problems with food - 1 is bingeing and 2 is balance. I've been working very hard on not bingeing lately and for the month of Sept I will work harder on balance.0 -

It was one bad weekend and a 3 day weekend too. Remeber consistency not perfection is a key. None of us are going to be perfect. You are doing well and 3 pounds gained is not a complete picture of progress. The is scale is not our measurement of success. You are progressing well by being mindful. Instead of focusing on the scale and the 3 pounds gained, I recommend focusing on what you can do differently next time and why you had the binge and once you have that resolved or not. Move on to the future. We can not change the past but we can change the next day, our next step, etc. Today is a new day and a 2 day binge overall does not mean you are not progressing. Keep up the good work and have a good week!0 -
I can relate also, but if you were not mindful of your binges and they spirialed out of control you could have been gaining more that 4 pounds. If you have been losing the same 4 pounds that is maintenance and that is better than gaining 10 pounds. It shows you are doing something right because you are not letting your binges get out of control. Keep up the good work and soon you will get beyond the 14 day range. You may want to work more on the whys of the binges also. Getting to the nitty gritty on that issue will lesson the binges and could also lesson the extent of our binges. Meaning are you still have hog wild binges or mini binges. We as bingers can not let the scale be our only measurement of success. Keep that in mind peeps! Have a good week!!Terrible weekend.

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!
I see many of you have checked in!! Some of us had a good weekend and others not so good. I am proud of you all for just checking in and sharing your successes and your disappointments also. Today is a new day so the 3 day weekend is over so now we have the rest of September to be mindful and make goals. I do recommend our goals be based on actions and not pounds to lose. Because if we base them more on actions we will get to our goal weight eventually. This is not a race. Who are we racing with? It is a matter of soul searching and overcoming our issues with food and why we are turning to food for comfort or for whatever it does for us. Most of us eat for comfort.
Have a awesome month and keep on sharing!

You're right! I need to focus on the progress I have made already and not worry about the scale so much. Thank you so much! You have a great week as well

I do think how much my weight would go up due to binging if I didn't eat well and exercise the other 60% of the time. I can usually lose it before i binge again but not always.0 -

I had a moment of weakness last night. Instead of eating half of the personal pizza like I was supposed to, I ate the whole thing, and milk and popcorn. I woke up with small cramps. But I'm trying to move forward. 0 -

I'm counting an episode of impulse eating since it was a whopping 2000 calorie hit. And I proceeded to have dinner, as well, two hours later. Definitely being counted.0 -
I just found this so, I'm in. It seems like every 2 wks I get moody & than I start to think I can eat more or chg my attitude to where I don't care of what I eat.

That's a vulnerable time for me, too--when I move past hungry to ravenous.
I've started carrying little snacks with me (like nuts, protein bars, or dried fruit) so that I can try to prevent getting TOO hungry.0 -
