    Hum. Not sure to count as a binge. I am not going to so for today me: 1 binge: 0
    However, in confession I did eat a larger meal than I really needed at dinner. I'm sick. I'm about ready to say I have the flu. At any rate, I dont' feel well at all and so of course, thought of food. I was ordering a hamburger and was not not not going to get the cookie, but coudn't seem to walk out the door with out. ALl I could was think of that cookie. Oh food how you control me some days. There was a time I controlled food. I believe food is getting its revenge.

    I'm not counting it because I don't feel disgusting, which is often how I feel after a binge. I eat when not not hungry and just keep shoving it down. TOday I was really hungry! Just didn't need as much as I ate. So that is my story for today and I'm sticking to it. :)
    Yes overeating is not a binge :) I think we all know when we are out of control and in a binge cycle. If not there are some really good books out on this matter. We all define binges differently. For me a binge is mindless uncontrolled eating cycle which usually last for 30 min to 2+ hours in duration.

    Yesterday I went WAY over calories and ate a bunch of cookies...But, it wasn't out of control and mindless. At the time, I totally knew what I was doing (as opposed to being in what I call "zombie mode", where I don't even think, I just NEED food). I thought about it beforehand and knew what I was getting myself into. I wanted them and ate them and enjoyed them...till later on in the evening and this morning. Now of course I feel huge and tend to beat myself up over it. I'm counting it as a binge. I am forgiving myself so I can move forward. I think forgiving ourselves is important in order to stop. I am working on getting better at it.

    Me - 3
    Binge - 2

    I really want today to be better. I have a plan and will stick to it. I just hate it that being at work is such a difficult time for me. Not wanting to be there, boredom, procrastination are triggers for me and when junk food is around some days I feel like can't resist.

    As of November 5, 2012:

    Me: 0
    The Binge: 1 (11/4)
    Overate (100 cals or more): 4 (11/1: 579; 11/2: 295; 11/3: 688; 11/5: 758 )


    I've been horribly lazy lately. The overeating is out-of-hand, but at least I'm not binging.

    Work can be hard for me too. I have my own snacks here and most days this works for me. Some days at the end of the day I cave in and since at the end of day this wards of going back and back and back since I am leaving soon. Most days this works too. Yes some days I count really bad overeating days as binge even though it was really not a binge because in a way I was out of control even if not a true blue binge :) Keep up the good work and keep checking in!!

    So organized! I like it.

    And atleast it's just overeating, and not binging! Youre probably eating enough calories to maintain your weight. Like I said, better than binging.

    A win for me! Ate PB with no binge. Keeping it up. I haven't weighed myself in some time and I'm quite nervous. I'll plan for Saturday to weigh in.

    The Binge--0

    The Binge did his best to bust me last night but I held him off! I went over my calories yesterday -- didn't exercise as much as I generally do -- and the Binge-monster tried to convince me to go over just a little more. Well, I wouldn't have stopped with just a little food; it would have turned into a full-blown binge. Binge-monster, you lose!

    Not a horrible binge as in past, but a binge or what I call as sugar binge. It is interesting i used to numb out and/or feel a mind tinge of happiness when I binged. I noticed tears today. I'm not sure it is because I have the flu or something else deep is surfacing.
    Tomorrow is another day. I find checking in on this site helpful...it keeps me real!
