Ignore the ending of my last post. We ended up with domino's. I ate 3/4 of a medium pizza, with two leftover slices for me to eat this week.

I hope November fares better

I've stagnated at 190 after dropping from 215 by removing processed carbs. I cannot seem to get below this number, give or take a couple lbs. It's been months... and very discouraging. So I chalk it up to mini-binging. I must eat more than a fit person and since I've never been a healthy weight, I just don't know what normal eating looks/feels like. I've got to start calorie tracking but I can never last for more than a couple of days.

Yesterday, I slipped up & ate a French frie burger from burger king. Later, I had five snack size pieces of chocolate candy. It all equalled up to over 500 cals & I went over my cal goals for the day buy over 500cals. I felt so bad, but I found the strength to go to the gym at 10pm & I burned 400cals on the treadmill & did 30 mins of strength training. I felt so much better about myself afterwards because that's real progress for me I'm becoming so much happier with my choices. I'm learning everyday to take responcibility for my actions when it comes to my health & fitness.

good job Venisha!!

we are here! I somehow steered clear of Halloween goodies all day today. However, I have not prepped my meals for this week, and have been eating out for dinner every night this week. Tonight was an old fast food favorite, Popeye's fried chicken and fries. I feel just awful, emotionally and physically (ugh) and trying not to beat myself up. Instead, I listed my goals for November which include the goal of this group. I am readying myself for quite a challenge, since when the time changes I get complacent and make bad choices. I hope to lean on the new support systems i am finding here at MFP and elsewhere!!

Hi everyone thanks for sharing!!

I binged after the clock struck midnight and hope I can be forgiven but am uncertain if I've messed up at our goal completely?

It happens for me when I have racing anxiety especially at night if its blocking sleep. It happens for me if I eat sugar(even too much fruit cause I have super sever reactive hypoglycemia and sugar biologically causes anxiety rush) but I have a massive sweet tooth!!

I'm ashamed of what I ate that I did at all I probably needed more protein and had been off kilter over sugared since tried a piece of Halloween candy early afternoon. Yikes I'm upset with myself!! How do you advise I proceed? Thank you soooo much.

Lets just say that yesterday was a BAD day. It is gonna be hard with all the holidays. I need to learn how to control myself with all these temptations that will be coming up the next couple months or I will never make this new lifestyle work in the future......TODAY IS A NEW DAY

First day and I slipped up, majorly.

I overate by alot of calories lastnight, I think mainly because it was on my mind ALL day that I couldn't. Undereating a little today to try to claw back some of the calories, but underlying it's still in me to get to my goal. I really, really, want to do it so I know I will.

Ok.. confession time.....

Last night I was really craving some munchies. (dang TOM gets me everytime!) I took a shower and grabbed some radishes and posted in the Check In that I was NOT gonna go downstairs and open that fridge and give in to my cravings.

I'm ashamed to say....:blushing: .... I totally gave in. I ate some crackers and cheese, a hard boiled egg, 2 laughing cow cheese wedges, some Milky Way snack sized bars, milk, and some Cheezits..... Ugh....

Totally had a food hangover today. I did ok today tho, so I guess thats good. I'm so glad we don't get kicked out of the group if we mess up!!

So I binged on the second day of No BInge November. There... I said it!!
Now lets hope the rest of the month goes better. :blushing:

I slipped up... TOM is a jerk... Colds are jerks. Add them together and it's a night mare....

Yesterday was bonfire night, I skipped my fitness class to watch fireworks with my SO, and when that was finished we were very lazy indeed and ordered pizza for the film.

No more eating out in November. That's final.

So, I've binged today and the day isn't over yet...
I've organised a seminar here at work which included a buffet lunch. I know our chef, he always cooks too much, meaning I didn't bring anything in for my lunch as there would be some. I had 2 plates full. Well, the first plate was full, the second only half. He makes the most amazing mirin salmon and avocado ceasar salad and there was some carrot salad and there was the most amazing wafer thin bread and thai green curry chicken and some new potatoes. And I have dessert waiting for me... A raspberry mascarpone mousse and a tiny chocolate tartelette which apparently accounts for 350cal on its own!!!
So I guess my lunch alone is 1500 cal probably.
Oh, and I'm going out for one drink with my colleagues tonight as well.
Back on the waggon tomorrow and I WILL cycle into work, no excuses, it has to be done!

Hi, My name is Sandra and I have binged. :grumble:

Sunday was the day. The day after junk (pizza) was on the menu for dinner Saturday night and beer was the beverage of choice. It was all downhill from then on.

Today is Monday and I have big cravings for carbs... those days after the binge are hard, you just want to keep going and going. But I can do it. Keep myself busy and I will make it, tomorrow will be even easier.

This weekend was horrendous. I mean, it was a great weekend activity wise (2 choir concerts + swim lesson!) but foodwise, OMG. On Saturday, between rehearsals and the concert, I ate a full bag of pretzels (150g) and, because they are a bit dry after a while, I started dunking them in butter. After the concert I had 4 toasts with butter. :noway: What is it with butter and me?!?!
And then yesterday, after I promised myself I would be good and I went to the gym and I had my swim lesson and was in the pool for almost 1 hour, I went home and had Indian take away: Lamb Jalfrezi, Brinjal Bhaji, garlic naan and 2 (yes, 2!) poppadoms. I mean, seriously?!?! And after that, since, you know, I was over my calorie goal anyway, I gobbled up half a sharing pack of M&Ms...
I feel disgusting today. I still feel ridiculously full and actually quite gross. I'll hit the gym tonight for some Zumba and some more swimming, that should take care of it, hopefully!
Onwards and downwards!

This. I quite literally think about indian food every day and what you said you ate would be NOTHING to me, unfortunately. I mean, I'm like a 5-6 plater at the indian buffet. It's like a personal challenge.
