Don't be sad! You're doing really well this month, you're definitely winning. Remember you're only human, forgive yourself & start a new day afresh. I bet you're binging less since finding this thread? I certainly am. Keep p the good work 0 -

Amazing! Well done!
What would you say you've learned about our habits? Please share, perhaps we can all learn from them too

So, tonight I detoured into the mall, and started the first steps of what normally leads me down the road to a 3000+ calorie binge. I told myself that I was just going to possibly buy one item, but then at the last minute I grabbed a second, more caloric, item. I knew it had begun. It was the beginning of a familiar routine for me.
I ate my food, preparing for the next awful step to happen.
But then I intervened. I used the strategy that Poppy told me she had decided to use next time. I acknowledged that I wanted ALL the foods, and MORE of the food I had eaten, but then told myself to wait. I promised myself that I could have some later if I still wanted it in 15 minutes. I even took the additional step of plugging the foods I was craving the most into my upcoming weekend days and Friday, and promising that I could have them for those specific meals.
I got up, and I left the building.
I went to the gym. I couldn't make myself run, because I was very full, but I did walk some.
For me, even though I lost control during the first part, I think I will count this as a victory. I only ate 1/10 of what I would NORMALLY have eaten during a binge, and I did manage to intervene.
It really helped to promise myself that I would be flexible and negotiate. It was also helpful to schedule my binge foods into non-binge times.
I still feel a little gross/full, but at least I'm not a crying mess, like usual!
Yay! One small victory at a time!0 -

The Binge: 5 (last one was the 10th)
Seems like the more caught up I am with other things and the less I worry about "binge eating" I just don't do it. If I sit there all day anxious about binge eating, I end up doing what I worried I would do. So I've been trying to stay occupied and leave the anxiety behind. I am more than just a binge eater! Also not eating sweets.... if I touch them I go crazy... :I

The trick will be staying relatively on target while out of town. Not worried about bingeing so much as general overeating (and drinking)....0 -

This is the longest I've went without binging in a long time. I'm starting to recognize how I feel before I binge & have had days where I've been able to talk myself down. I am nervous about going out to eat with my husband tomorrow night, I hate eating away from home. I feel like I have little control as to what is going into my food & there is so much temptation. I'm going to decide today where we are going (hubby has left it up to me) and decide exactly what I will have while we are there. Yikes.0 -

Binge: 4 (4/4, 4/5, 4/11, 4/12)
I definitely overate yesterday but stopped myself before it was a full on binge. I've been contemplating with the ideas of IF, which I unintentionally do anyways and have heard a lot of buzz about. My purpose for IF would be to have the freedom to NOT thing about food for 16 hours (8 of which I'd be asleep). I typically eat dinner at 5 or 5:30pm and then don't eat again until the next morning..around 9 or 10. I'm not changing anything else, but actually working towards freeing my mind from food for a period of time each day..hoping to make eating more natural and really listen to hunger cues. This is very aspirational, I'll see how it goes!0 -

I can't tell you how great it is to read this. I might print it out..as a secret weapon. I understand my pattern too..and there is a HUGE difference between eating an item I crave..and then desiring every single thing I normally do not allow myself to have. You are such a model, WOW.0 -

VICTORY!!! Free goodies at work are a huge downfall for me. I have a total hangup about getting "my share". Somebody brought in doughnuts yesterday, and there were in the break room ALL DAY because so many people were out of the office. I decided when I saw the announcement that I wasn't going to have one - one bite of a sugary treat is all it takes to send me into a sugar spiral, and yesterday was day 6 of eating on track, I was NOT going to get derailed by doughnuts. I did it! Today's day 7 ... bring it on!0 -

Days did not log the binge: 0
Binge Dates:
Drinking bender on 4/1.
Drinking bender on 4/5.
Dinner with a friend on 4/6.
Another dinner run 4/13, wtf!
Lost all inhibitions, 4/15.
Deep depression takes control, 4/16.
I've gone back and logged all my binges. It's calculated. I know exactly what I ate, when I ate it, and how much of it I ate. It's like I'm plotting against myself at all times. I'm in a bad place right now and I just can't shake it.0
