    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!!

    If I can make it through the weekend it will be the first time in a long time with no binging on the weekend.

    Hi all, what a great idea. I just joined this group today after a terrible binge last night.
    Counted it in my diary, blogged about it and absolutely beating myself up today.

    The binge will NOT win. I am not a quitter!!!

    So hello group and here is my count for August to date:

    Me - 16
    Binge - 2

    The Binge will NOT win any more days this month!!!
    Good luck to all of us :flowerforyou:

    Only a few extra hundred calories but I'm still counting it as a binge to keep myself accountable

    Skimflatwhite-- no, you are NOT a quitter and you wouldn't be here posting so honestly if you were. I'm glad you're jumping back in.

    Another really good day, but when you go for a 4 hour bike ride (I'm on vacation) and burn 2500 cals, it's kind of hard to blow it. (Although believe me, I have. Many times...)

    Binge-0

    Decided to not keep track of junk food. I'm doing fine, but it's kind of hard determining what's junk food such as pretzel appetizers with my meal.

    Thankful to have found this group and to have support. Yesterday was a challenging day and the binge won. I'm trying to not beat myself up over what is history. Focusing on today! :)

    I'm back on track today. I won't think about the 3, there have been many months when those numbers would have been reversed, so I am making progress.

    :) we can do this.

    My vacation is going well with a 6 hour 64 mile bike ride today (lol with a little resting thrown in). I've been preparing my meals in my hotel room (fancy schmancy suite with microwave and fridge) and logging everything. But today when I was riding around on and near the Jersey shore where I am at, I got sad looking at all the people out enjoying a day at the beach and eating whatever they wanted. Ugh I just need to keep focused.
