Okay, this whole week I've been compulsively eating right and left. I don't want to look at the scary, I'm scared I could have even gained 5 lbs this whole month.... having lost a total of 15lbs since being on MFP!

I have my diary open right now but haven't logged much binges... (haven't even logged today or yesterday and they were bad. No calorie count done. I assume it was very high. )

Anyone who wants to add me, just let me know you are from this group! I always love support buddies.

And, I am determined to let next week be better than this one! + this weekend...

I woud list the "me vs the binge" but it's been so much this month, I didn't count. I'm really looking forward to doing that and keeping on track in November.

    Oh no! Is there something going on in your life right now that you think is causing this? Or have you just kind of given up and lost control because of that?

    I feel like a lot of times the weight gain isn't as bad as I think it will be, usually one or two days of eating healthy and exercising gets me back to my original weight (though sometimes I do gain a little if I binge).

    It's so hard to make yourself get back on track after having a bunch of really bad days in a row. Hope your weekend has been binge-free so far :)

    Try not to beat yourself up and try to move forward.

    My last two days have been close to full on binges. I am tired, happy, excited, feeling great, therefore I feel entitled. So I caught myself. I think I only did 1000cal worth of damage over the last two days.

    I am going to try to be more aware of my emotions etc...

    Is that what is going on with you? Trying to numb something? Celebrating something?

    I know for me, that is my number one reason.... emotions. Either too high or too low.

    Feel free to add me if you want to chat.

    Getting back on track after a few days is the worst!! I had a terrible night time eating episode/binge last night. 1300+
    The worst thing is how I feel today! Like crap and wanting more of the crap that made me feel like crap in the first place. I wish I could just move on like nothing happened, but it is a physical reaction. I crave more junk! I keep telling myself that if I get through today (on sheer willpower) tomorrow will be better. I'm drowning in water right now...ugh!!
