    The Binge: 0.5
    Overcals: 1 (day over calories, not calories over. :)

    This is a tough one. I didn't binge like I normally do, but at the same time, I snacked and went over on my calories. Not hugely, but enough to make today a wash weight-loss wise. I call today a draw! :/
    But, tomorrow is...another day! (Cue music)

    Oh, duh! I've seen edit options in other groups and I couldn't find it here and thought it had to do with settings. Sorry! That was so obvious. lol.

    I'm going to be honest. Lately I find it hard to manage a day that doesn't go 3,000+ calories.

    Today I was thinking I should eat phase 1 of south beach, that didn't work. I don't like telling myself I can't have whole grains or fruit. Too restrictive. But I can't get over the fact that I gained 7 lbs. That makes me mad and I want to run to the first thing that promises me immediate results. Sugar still controls me (I don't mean grains and fruit. I mean sweets and junk food - one bite of it makes me want more. more. more.)
    I keep telling myself I will be happy once I get into a healthy BMI and thats everything I need to strive for. But that's not really true because I need to solve this binge eating issue, the weight isn't the big problem... it's the relationship with food. Everything would line up smoothly if I didn't struggle with binges. I could slowly lose all the weight and never gain it back if weight was the only issue.


    So... I'm trying to evaluate myself... but I don't know why I keep bingeing. I feel like I want to do the best ever. And then it goes completely opposite. I can't say I love food when I continuously eat more and more servings of one thing. Thats not loving - that's something else. It's like I won't see it the next day, like I need it to comfort me. Or I need something to make me not think. Distraction. It's so hard to know why.
    I feel like I have way too many triggers.

    There are trigger foods in the house and I can't get rid of them because other people like them.
    I feel like I should be able to deal with my stress productively but I am finding it's very hard. Not because I don't have other alternatives.... but because I seem to choose food over them. I still want the food more than any other alternative (like a bath, walk, reading over my blogs, etc)

    Why Do I feel this way? Is it just a sucky self control? Lack of motivation? Can you make any sense of this because I don't understand myself somedays. =/

    Negatives: I have binged twice this month,
    Positives: I logged everything.
