Beat the Binge! I was going to succumb to emotional eating. Then I told myself it wasn't worth it and I'd feel better going to the gym. I went to a spinning class for an hour and burned 460 calories. Take that binge eating!

Yay for you doing that. I totally love spinning and am almost at a weight that I'm ready to go back to it. Soon I promise!!

I only recently joined (like Monday) so I forgot to put those days in. Total count:
Me: 3
Binge: 0
Over Calories: 1 (I ate a big dinner and I was craving chocolate so made a pudding dessert that put me over calories but it was better than eating everything in my house. And at least I recorded everything.)

No, no, no Karen! don't give up! Get away from triggers and do something else to relieve the stress or anxiety. But don't give up! I don't even know you but I'd miss you...

Thanks Trish! Yesterday I beat the binge. Today I will to. I will keep trying. I have to remember this hard time will pass eventually.

Yay Karen!! They tell me it gets easier the more you can resist the urge. I think I've yet to resist the urge if it gets really strong. So I'm thoroughly impressed by your strength. I'll be knocking on your door when I need a hand.

Binge-0, Me-16. Wonders never cease!

I had to go out to dinner tonight (which is always tough for me) and I picked a decent choice (in a pizza place, there's not a lot of options) but I have to remember to listen to my INNER VOICE which was *screaming* at me to take half the portion and put it in a take-out box before I even ate any. I didn't listen and wound up finishing it all. I felt a little too full, or maybe it was more the panic of possibly feeling a little too full (is this screwed up or what!) but now it's 2 hours later and my stomach is grumbling. So maybe I didn't eat too much.

Who knows anymore- it's like if I'm not hearing my stomach growling at me, I'm afraid I over did it.

Anyway, I guess this was another successful day, so I'll take it.

Btw I love this message board. It's really helping me be accountable for what I'm eating. I have been struggling with binge days for pretty much the whole summer. I'm so glad to feel like I'm in control again!!
