I went over a tiny amount yesterday. Partly because I was hungry but I stopped myself from binging so I call that a success.0 -
had a bad bad binge yesterday.... logged it though, which really sucked because i have a good accountability partner who checks my diary and i was so embarassed to log.... i think i was making up for lost time in my head. it's 7 am here and i still feel full.... booooo
this is the part where i want to quit and run. because i finally lost the control... not a little binge, but a giant binge....
i know it's one day at a time, but it's so hard for me to get back at it after a such a big binge ....0 -
Hoping to finish out the month strong!!!

Feeling really great. A big traveling weekend for a friend's wedding but pretty sure there won't be many opportunities to binge. I packed my own snacks and I'm feeling prepared : ) And feeling very lean, too!0 -

Ok so this month has been disastrous. I've basically binged the whole month, with a day or two of being good in between. I am trying really hard to get back on track, and starting with small steps. I would like to get back into the challenge, but there is in no way I can beat the binge for this month. Instead of making myself upset, and dwelling on the bad, I am going to restart my challenge, starting yesterday. Hopefully I can keep on the right track. With that being said,

Days binge-free: 2! This is a big deal given what my month has been like!
The goal is not necessarily to beat the binge every month, but to track faithfully so you can see your progress over the months.
Plenty on here continue to log their binge days, even if the binge is clearly outweighing the non binge days. You wont really see your progress and improvement over time if you stop and restart every time you have a bad run of it. That is my view.0 -

It's amazing how much easier this gets if I can get in a couple of good solid weeks on track! Suddenly the call of the food is a barely-audible background whisper rather than a distracting constant buzzing in my ear. Now I just wish my hard work would be reflected on the scale ... I just keep telling myself that if I can beat the binge, the weight will start to take care of itself.0 -

Jaimee: 16
Binge: 8 (4/1, 4/5, 4/6, 4/13, 4/15, 4/16, 4/21, 4/23)
Days did not log the binge: 1 (4/21)
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.
Lost control from obsessing, 4/21.
Lost control from bad day, 4/23.
There is a clear pattern with my binging. The days I don't binge are miserable trying to keep away from the food. I'm trying hard, but not hard enough apparently.0 -

I really thought this was going to be my first binge-free week... Yesterday I got in a disagreement with my boyfriend, had a stressful 3hr long meeting after work, and then went out for an adult beverage with a co-worker. After we parted ways, I couldn't help it. I just let loose. On the way home (a 15 minute walk) I consumed at least 5 items totaling over a thousand calories. I was already over my goal by more than 600 calories... So, I ended nearly 1700 in the red.
Ugh.
It's okay. Today is a new day.0 -

This the first time-THE FIRST TIME- in my adult life that I have eaten "normally" for this many days. I truly believe it's b/c I'm eating at a normal daily calorie intake (1600) and no food is "good" or "bad" or off limits. I mean how simple a solution for me is this and yet I never was able to grasp that concept--till now. In the past I thought that the only effective way for me to lose weight (and I was constantly trying to lose weight even at my thinnest thin self) was to eat next to nothing. Of course the body can only go so long before it has a meltdown and that's when I would binge and binge and binge.
Don't get me wrong this isn't the only reason for why I haven't binged in the past or won't binge in the future for that matter, but it's definitely been a light bulb moment. I still try to stay away from my trigger foods and no big emotional problem has plagued me lately. It's just nice to finally figure me out a little bit and hopefully grow more into the person I want to be.0 -

Those 3 days really rocked me hard, and I hate feeling like I ruined weeks of hard work. I'm not sure if it's helping or hurting to try to do fasting damage control either, but I'm not sure I really care. Past 2 days I've been under control (barely, and only because I feel like a walking water balloon), but the urges came back with the binge just as big and bad as ever
One day at a time again. 0 -
