    Me - 4.
    Binge - 7.

    Managed to hang on for last 3 days, in spite of serious cravings for sugar (period due anyday).
    Ate a lot before bed, but I didn't feel in binge mode. I will just eat lighter tomorrow.

    It really does get easier! Worried about the weeked, though. I need to find something else to treat myself at the end of a long week besides food and an entire bottle of wine (Yep, that has been known to happen :ohwell: ). Everyone's progress has inspired me to keep going.

    All the best this weekend, everyone! :flowerforyou:

    Try renting/watching/buying a good tv show or a movie, or go to the cinema/movie theatre to see a film maybe...seem to be a lot of new films right now. Alternatively, if you like reading, treat yourself to a new book.
    I personally want to go see Les Miserables, but got to hold on until Wednesday when I get my money in. :/

    I am not disheartened. It was probably 800 cals and I'm still okay for today. I will not let this bring me down. I worked out afterwards and drank green tea I did not throw the whole day away. Tomorrow I will get back to my streak.

    I am aiming for another binge-free weekend. This is the longest I haven't binged since this summer. It has been about 16 days. For some reason, I feel really good and not thinking about bingeing. I am very focused on my upcoming trip in a few more weeks and got my eye on the prize :-) I also am liking this feeling, I am not walking around bloated and disgusted with myself. First time in a long time! Hope everyone has a great weekend.

    Thank you for the suggestions!! I should treat myself to a nice "girly" movie and get my fiance out of the house! Lol

    Last night I was actually too tired to stay up and eat more! I only had two glasses of wine and those made me sleeeeepy. Haha. Its pretty amazing how much one week of eating less can change things so quickly!

    Today I am helping to move my sister out of her apartment (ugh). But that will be my workout. Have a great Saturday, all!

    Binge - 3

    Didn't get a chance to check in here yesterday. Thursday was ok but I had a binge on "healthy snacks" as I call them. It wasn't terrible but I was in binge mode and have to count it as a binge. Could've been much worse but it is what it is. I may not be able to keep those in the house anymore. There are times I can controllably eat them but more times than not, I binge on them. Dammit!! :angry:

    But no binges yesterday, which is awesome. The past couple of Fridays have been binge-free, but that's probaby because I had binges the day before but whatever. It didn't turn into two days of bingeing so I will look at it that way and take it as progress. Hopefully Fridays will continue to get easier!

    Weighed this morning for the first time in a week....before I got on the scale, I told myself I'd be happy if it says "___". It did say that and of course somehow I was disappointed that it wasn't less. WTF. Can't I ever be happy???? But actually, looking back on my daily weight (I have the Withings scale that transfers to my phone), I realized I haven't weighed this little since December 28 so looking at it that way, I'm doing pretty well. (I was continuing to gain even after Christmas!) Soooooo, I am making progress and will continue to weigh maybe weekly, I'm not sure yet, but not every day. I can tell already that I could easily obsess over this all day. But I will not allow myself to, I am doing well and am going to let it go. It has been very freeing for me to not weigh daily. As a dear friend said to me, I allow the scale to have too much power over me. She is right, WAY too much power. I am definitely going to work on this. The scale does not define me!

    I'm glad it's the weekend and I feel hopeful and confident that it can be binge-free. I want to continue to feel good, both physically and mentally, and not bingeing and not weighing seems to be a good way to do that.

    Binge - 8.

    Not what I would normally call a binge but I felt unhappy and it was eating for the sake of eating rather than hunger really, more from tiredness and not going to bed when my sleeping pills kicked in. Was only a tub of cottage cheese and some greek yoghurt with honey but it has messed up the rest of my day and meant I had to workout hard to get in under goal.
