Doing well this month!

So, I have a question. What constitutes for giving into the "The Binge"? Is it a full fledge binge or does giving into urges that results in overeating, even a little bit count? This is a seriuos question, not snarky in any way.

I think this is a pretty decent explanation (from http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1045795-what-constitutes-a-binge?hl=binge+is) :

"In behavioral disorder terms, a binge is classified by having a heightened and frantic (or else truly depressed and numb) emotional state. Consuming large amounts of calories totalling thousands in a short time (within a few hours) coupled with a fear and feeling of not being able to stop, even well beyond the point of making yourself sick.

The difference between binging and over-eating is the emotional and mental state that accompanies it. It is not eating a few hundred calories over. It is not even necessarily eating thousands of calories over. It is what is going on in your head WHILE you are overeating."

Still binge free so far in July.

I called in sick today because I was feeling super overwhelmed with stuff at work on top of just getting things done around the house with all the exercising I've been doing. Without the food it is getting hard because there's a lot of anxiety underneath the surface. I really need to address this anxiety soon. I need to work on not being ashamed to take care of myself.

Woah I didn't realize I hadn't logged in! Doing well...a beach trip is coming up with 30 (!) friends...so that's some motivation. Leaving in one month!

Binge: 0

In the middle of last night I woke up feeling shaky so I had something to eat. I am not counting that as a binge because it was purposeful eating, i.e. it cleared up that feeling and I went right back to sleep. Definitely didn't eat enough before and after my workout.

Just wanted to eat food I'd been restricting from. Sigh. However, I still managed to go to a dance class (even though I wanted to be alone) that I promised a friend I would go to and since it was later at night, I didn't feel sick. Positive step?
