    Binge: 1 (4/4)

    I feel like another binge wants to come out and I have been thinking about food constantly. Trying to tame it and hoping to get stronger. I am bigger than this.

    Overeating... (Which still gives myself the "me" point for not binge eating but doesnt accomplish what I aimed for)

    So I've had 4 days where I stayed within my goals...

    Days did not log the binge: 1 (4/1)

    Binge Dates:
    Drinking bender on 4/1.
    Drinking bender on 4/5. Missed my goal of one alcohol bender. Had 1286 calories in alcohol, 150 carb, 138 sugar. I would have stayed for the pizza afterwards too, if the alcohol didn't have me almost throwing up.

    I'm gutted, I was doing so well! Then yesterday I was feeling so run down, I just couldn't fight the urge to comfort eat :sad:

    I was really hoping for a clear run of at least a week and I couldn't even manage that :sad:

    Maybe your body genuinely needed the calories/energy, if you were feeling run down? Just a thought. That aside, let it go and carry on, cannot change it now.

    Being a female with all those female 'events' is a real pain sometimes.

    Well. I have had 2 days this week (Tuesday and yesterday), where I have eaten more/different foods than I intended to. Both times I was aware of what I was doing and managed to stop myself before I got out of control. I'm going to count them to me. I'm pretty sure a lack of control is considered as part of defining a binge! I just logged those extra's in my diary to stay accountable to myself and a few friends who probably think I'm perfect.

    I'm curious - How does everyone classify a binge to themselves? I guess it's fairly subjective :)

    For me, it is when I have eaten a vast quantity of food, well past a point of simply feeling overfull, and past a point where the food still tastes pleasant and brings pleasure. For me, binges tend to total thousands of calories.

    The binge: 2 (4/2 and 4/3)

    I am exercising and saying NO to bad stuff it can't stay in my house anymore. Tonight like right now I want to eat this Puffin cereal but I won't. In a bit I will have a green drink and then later and cup of decaf hazelnut tea with just a tiny splash of almond milk and stevia. Tomorrow going to the movies but I am going to subway instead first to eat! Gonna pack some walnuts to munch

    Kourtney: 3
    Binge: 3 (4/2, 4/3, 4/4)

    Binge free for: 2 days

    The day is not over yet, but feeling confident I can control myself tonight. I am done with prelogging my days. I became too obsessed about when I could eat the next thing I logged; it was consuming. I am now instead just really trying to listen to my body and consequently train my brain. I am trying to only eat when I am actually hungry. Not when I am craving something. Hopefully, if I keep this up for a while, it will become a normal thing, and maybe I can soon get close to that healthy relationship with food that I want.

    Wish me luck tomorrow. Starting the day off with an accepted students day brunch at PCOM. I'm very aware of my inability to control myself when free food is presented to me, so I hope I can stick to my 'hungry' system.

    On another note, still feeling run-down, stressed, and borderline depressed. Just haven't felt like me in the past two weeks. It is affecting my workouts as well, as I tend to give up on them easily now. I just want to get back to feeling normal, but the hardest few weeks of the semester is approaching. :ohwell:

    Congrats to everyone who managed to conquer a Saturday! If you did quite pull out the win, no biggie, the weekend has 2 potential days for success :3

    Nervous for tomorrow though, because I weigh in on Monday and looming weigh-ins stress me out.

    Just started!
    Doing this in the motivation forum, but figured it couldn't hurt to start in here as well.
    Went all yesterday without a binge of any sort too.

    Last night I had a good talk with my husband. I confessed all the sneak eating I was doing. We bought a dozen cookies from the cookie company and my kids and husband each had one and I had the other 7.

    2 binge days in a row, I need to plan before leaving the house when i know i will be out all day. Finding solutions not living in the problem is a huge step for me.

    Binge free for: - days

    I'll count today as a binge. Wasn't too nasty but I failed my goal and so I need to be strict with myself! Today was also a busy and tiring day so that might have made me hungrier! I am hoping to have a decent day tomorrow to make up for today! Still fighting the urge to eat more but I'm done and I KNOW IT. Gonna do some cycling on my back while I stay on mfp til I get to sleep!!
