Yay for the first binge of the month -_-0 -
It wasn't a lot (under 500 kcal), but it had the mental elements of a binge, so a binge it is. My body feels sick from the quick dose of sweets and I'm actually grateful for this. Reminds me to be kind to my body.

My non binge days have not been good either. I'm not being honest in my logging because I don't want to hear the comments about how someone would not have made that choice...no kidding, I wouldn't have either...ya know???
So overtired.
Better days are coming

Yesterday was close..but I went to bed before any damage could be done. It helped that no place was open to eat. I hate how I start having urges and know that longer I go without one..the more it feels like one is looming. I'm hoping this is not the case & I can fix that by having a controlled 'treat'. If I know I have a food I like to look forward too, I'm less likely to binge on stuff I don't really want...at least that's my plan anyways!0 -
7/5/13 Friday - Binge Monster - 3 Me - 1
I was able to resist numerous cravings yesterday by staying busy decluttering and then creating in my art studio. Without my fix, I was quite irritable and a grouch to my partner. I gave him a heads up that, while I wasn't excusing my behavior, I was letting him know that without my food fixes I was far from mellow. In other words, give me space.
Despite coming in close to my calories allowed, yesterday, my weight showed a .8 increase this morning that served as a good wake-up call because I am now 8.4 pounds above my low and am 4.4 pounds above my Monday low. I can no longer binge, then cut back a day and see a loss. My binges cost me several days of food and exercise compensation.
During my bingeing, I told my S.O. that I was tired of sticking to what felt like restrictive calories (1330/day) and excessive exercise (minimum of 60 minutes/day on my exercise bike) and that I just wanted to eat whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted it. But now after my one day of food sobriety, I know that it isn't true that I hate the restrictions. I need and want to be back in control with my food and get back to the great, steady, and moderate progress I was making with sensible food choices and daily exercise.
Also, I have not weighed in with my weekly support group, because I don't want to show a gain, but the longer I am away from my group the more likely my weight will go up. I need the support of my group and the honesty of weighing in next Thursday, no matter what my weight. So I am committed to getting my food and exercise back in control in preparation for facing the music.0 -
Sick of life... period.

small binge but even though didnt eat that much still felt like a binge. the 2-5pm period is always rough. always looking for any excuse to take a break. didnt really think the 4th of july week was gonna be under calories anyways... determined to stay strong once my routine is back in order. (and not do too much damage in the meantime)0 -

I agree with afternoons being the hard time. I have flexible work hours, so I try to schedule myself to go in around 1:00 - 8:00. Then I can get stuff done at home during the morning when overeating is less of a problem. Days off are difficult for me and you're wise to realize your disrupted routine affects your eating...It's sometimes hard to determine what a binge is. For instance if I had a small binge, but stayed under calories for the day, I don't count it as a binge even though it felt like one.0 -

I sure know this feeling. I swear I used to be able to just have a good day and go on a long run after a bad day and be all back on track. Now I feel like it sticks with me for dayyyysss.... Good luck with your weigh in this week!0 -

Much better start than last month! I just can't seem to control the speed of my binge - like the food is going to vaporize and I'll be left with nothing to eat, so I need to shovel faster and faster Ugh0 -

I ate four meal supplement things... (Not going to be specific, mentioning the name or such... don't want to trigger. It was 170/each.)
I am triggered to binge. It's that time of month. and there is a guy who isn't talking to me at the moment but I wish he would. Sometimes guys act all sweet and caring and then other days they act distant and non talkative - it's like, what the hell?
I need a new hobby or something to keep me really busy.
Sorry for the rant -- I hope everyone is suceeding in fighting the binge!

I feel ya girl, sometimes a binge is easily triggered by whether or not I get a text! I've defnitely realized how my emotions are attached to stupid things like that...running and long walks have helped get my mind off of it. Still working on keeping 'better' guys in my life so I'm not always feeling so unstable.

Have fun in Greece Jul!
And yes, waiting for texts can be unbearably painful and has lead to some serious calories consumption... I feel ya ladies.
Doing well so far this month. Keeping track of it in this challenge is really helping me stay motivated to not binge. It's pretty amazing actually! Haven't been perfect on all days but haven't had that binge mindset. Yippee!
