Am late checking in here for yesterday, but I did win yesterday despite being out of the house all day. I thought of the challenge and narrowly avoided going over. Today should be easier. So far I am winning!0 -
Question.... Do you think someone would appear bloated after a weekend of binging or just a few days of having off and on binges. Do you think it would be obvious with your physical appearance to anyone you were around?
I mean, I know I can easily gain "real" weight with a few binges. I know it can't all be water weight. I just mean do you think there is an obvious difference to those who see you...?0 -

Not lost much, maintaining at the moment, want to lose a couple of pounds on the plus side the binges have reduced since I've upped my calories. I think I'm learning to take it slow. I will get there.0 -

Remember:
There is never a failed attempt at breaking binge eating. Even if you only went a day without binging, that's still a day where you were able to identify triggers and not binge. That within itself is a success.0 -

Calories Consumed: 3,743 (2,203 more than what I should've consumed).
I honestly don't know what happened today... I skipped school (even though exams are with in a week), woke up at 11, skipped my morning stretch/warm up and went right to the fridge. I woke up with a big crave for sugar, so I devoured half of my mum's tiramisu and half of the chocolate microwave cake I made the night before, which I refused to even taste (the night before) because it was past 6 o'clock -.-... Yeah. So from there I went on to consume every little thing I can find in front of me without a second thought.
What angers me the most is the sudden change in attitude... Just yesterday I was so motivated to workout, and ate everything with consideration and moderation. But, today it seems like everything has been let loose. It is days like this that slow my progress and make me want to give up.0 -

This was a close one, but I'm giving myself the point. A lot of PB and cereal but I was starving and stayed within reasonable calories. Need to detox from nut butter, for real. It's a trigger and stepping away will be good for me.0 -

So far, so good. Had a very busy day, but didn't give in to just eating without care. I plan to keep that up tomorrow as well.0 -

It makes me so sad to give one to the Binge.
. I didn't earn as many exercise points yesterday as I usually do, and when I got home last night after a band concert (I play flute), I went over my calories with a snack and then just kept going. My binge was about 2,700 calories - mixed nuts and then blue tortilla chips and salsa. And then more mixed nuts and raisins. Ouch. Oh well, one day at a time. I need to sharpen up my sword; I'm not turning in my credentials as a Binge Slayer! 0 -
Yesterday was a close one. I just seemed to be hungry all day. Maybe it wasn't real hunger; I really don't know. On top of that, we've started getting all those Christmas goodies delivered to our dept. at work. Of course, I felt the need to try a couple of those goodies. :grumble: Because of my workout, I did not go over my calorie count but did eat about 200 cals. more than what I usually eat during the week. Anyway, today is a new day and I will not let those sweets get to me!

2,700 is not bad. You can easily have a small deficit throughout the week to make up for that. It won't cause any gain (thats permanent)
Drink a lot of water. Forgive yourself...
make sure you hold no guilt today. Guilt always makes me binge the next day. Don't give in, the binge might try to tempt you!
Stay strong.

Yep, yesterday was bollocks. Ugh. Today I almost started fasting, but I've learned my lesson. It's never, never good trying to "win back" the calories like that. I did a very fast paced and intense work out at the gym instead, yay :--)0 -

So far no binges in December. Unbelieveable. Yesterday I had a few urges but nothing big.
This morning I weighed. Half a pound heavier than Friday. Not a big deal, but of course I started to obsess. And all of a sudden I ws thinking, well I don't have to weigh again till Friday and my mind went right to thinking about eating my binge food today. WTF?!? I'm wondering if weighing is a trigger. Now that I haven't been weighing daily, like I did for so long, it seems I do so much better on the days I don't weigh. And I've definitely noticed a HUGE reduction in negative self-talk and punishing. Does anyone else get triggered by the scale? I never used to think it triggered me but now I'm wondering...
So....after my mind went to thinking about that junk food I kept saying all kinds of affirmations and read my goals again and read a blog that really hits home again and I felt the desire go away. Yay! I really don't want to ruin my progress - I can tell my clothes are fitting better already!
Now my co-worker just told me he got cookies from an instructor for the holidays. UGHHHHH my biggest binge food, the thing I started thinking about at 5am. I'm doing so well and I don't want to ruin it. I keep telling myself that is NOT MY FOOD! It's his, not mine! I didn't receive it as a gift! (thank gawd!)
I CAN and WILL stick to my goals today!! I can, I will, I can, I will!!!!!0 -

Yes, the scale used to trigger me all the time.
For me, it helped to majorly cut down on the weigh ins.. a couple years back I would weigh daily. On times when I weigh myself once a month, that's when I seem to do my best. You could always try weighing every 10-14 days. That would give you enough time to see results, but it wouldn't be too often. Whatever you choose, good luck.
I really want to get a scale that measures my body fat %, then the number wouldn't matter so much as long as my fat was going down lol.0
