    congrats to everyone on their achievements!! I guess mine this week is that I have gone almost 6 days now without binging. 4 weeks ago brought on an emotional upset in my life and it triggered binges big time...giving me a gain of 23 pounds... this morning, with getting myself back in line and no binging for 5 1/2 days... I have 11 of those 23 pounds off....and too I am seeking help with my BED so I wont rely on food for emotional times.

    Today I did some mini aerobics and got my heart pumping - I was so fed up with just hobbling around on crutches, and I really do miss my aqua aerobics and my walking.

    If I can only do three or four mini sessions like that every day and gradually increase the time I'll be happy as I know at least I'm trying!

    OK, it wasn't much, I didn't want to start my foot throbbing or pull my stitches, but this time a year or so ago I would have been quite content to just sit on the sofa stuffing my face, so I'm proud of myself today that I made the effort, albeit a small one!

    I just logged my proud moment. A few months ago, I could only run for a couple minutes. I progressed. 8 minutes was a hurdle. I rejoiced when I got to 12... 15.... 20.... 30....

    Well, this morning, I ran for about 50 minutes, and I ran over 4 miles (4.77 miles total, but I walked the first .35).

    I'm pretty proud of myself. Especially since I haven't been able to do any full on running lately (I've had a change of schedule and I have my baby with me, and we're not home, so it's on the other side of the county that we spend our days). I've been doing intervals because jogging with him in the stroller is so much tougher!!

    I woke up today feeling like crap--and an hour later, I STILL feel like crap....no energy at all, half dead etc.

    BUT... I am on my way to work out at the gym anyway. Hopefully, the moving around will help far more than just sitting on the couch drinking tea, wrapped in a blanket moaning about how I don't feel so hot.

    I am not known for my perseverance :laugh: so this is a big accomplishment for me.

    Second day without chocolate! (Major achievement for someone who would eat at least 1000g of chocolate in some form DAILY.)

    I'm a chocoholic. I have learned to limit it to 2-3 pieces (not bars) per day. Some days I manage to skip it, but that took awhile of restricted access before I got to that point. Recently I challenged myself to 7 days without chocolate. I never planned to give it up and I didn't but I wanted to prove to myself I can increase the amount of time between servings just as well as I managed to decrease the portion size (used to be about a bag of chocolate every 2 days).

    Woke up this morning and the scales told me I was at 184 lbs, and I was able to put on these new pants that are a size 34" comfortably, it was only a few months that I was barely able to fit in a size 36".

    it was a year ago when I was at 296 lbs, and wore pants at the size of 46"

    and for breakfast this morning, my roommates brought a bunch of breakfast sandwiches and hash brown bites from burger king, I turned it all down and just made oatmeal with almond milk, this was something I was not able to do before.
