    The Binge:7

    - - -

    It's been a while since I've updated.

    My boyfriend (who currently lives in a different country than me) just came to visit for 10 days, which had a couple of affects on me.

    1) I think I binged a little less than I otherwise would have, as he eats so little and I spent most of my time with him. I did binge on one morning, one evening, and today (the day he left) although I don't know how bad those binges were.

    2) I was terrible about logging my food while my boyfriend was visiting. It's hard because I eat such different things when I am making/buying meals for just myself, versus entertaining my boyfriend in a foreign country. Also, when you're with company it's hard to prioritize logging food right away, and then if you wait until later it's easy to forget.

    3) As a consequence of this sort of vacation mentality, I'm SURE that I overate on every single one of the last 10 days. : (

    4) I'm not sure how much damage I have done, because I stopped weighing myself while we was in town. I'm expecting to be back up near 140, which is REALLY going to bum me out.

    I know that I just need to get back on the wagon, but it's going to be difficult because at the end of this month I am moving half way around the world (back home) after three years abroad, changing jobs, getting an apartment with my current boyfriend for the first time, and trying to hold it all together.

    - - -

    On the bright side, I binged so much less this month than last, so I'm headed in the right direction.

    I've been adding sweets lately and am eating over my goal because of them. Often the sweets lead to binge behavior for me, so I really want to stop that and also to get back to my 5 fruits and veggies per day since that seems to keep me on an even keel with cravings.

    Horrible binge yesterday, and it took every fiber of my being to not continue on today. Thanks to all who post here - you just don't know how supportive it is for me :)

    This feels awful. I made the choice last night and it was an awful decision. I was overwhelmed with silly errands and my to-do list go too long..consoled myself with food and skipped spin. Not today. It is so important for me to look good and feel good on this trip to Greece in July, I need to stop disliking myself. Well I guess not disliking myself, disliking my choices.

    It's crazy how much my binges/overeating can effect my mind, my weight, etc............I had two days of binging and overate the rest of the weekend. Still upset about losing my control but am getting back on track.

    I am looking forward to joining the June challenge. For once in my life I have to get a handle on these senseless binges. You all are doing so well. Keep on being kind to yourselves and I'll try my best to follow suit!

    This month has been so much better than the last!

    If I can just hold on for one more month, I'll be in good shape to go home this summer!

    I know I haven't been active a lot this month. I could really use the help though. I'm gonna try to be here for June. I'll be traveling some, spending awhile in Washington with my mom.
    I keep having random emotional moments. I go days without a binge and I'm slowly feeling confident... Then BAM I binge and I'm a mess after. I don't get why I'm doing what makes me feel crappy and hating myself. It might be more internal issues that need resolved. Nevertheless, thanks for always keeping the group open for me. You're all like a huge family of support!

    I have had some bad days this week!

    Also, search for the support thread.

    Some of us don't read the posts here thoroughly (I don't every time) but on the support one you may get more responses.

    GOOD LUCK!
