I am proud of myself for setting my goal for lent to quit binge eating which leads to other bad habits I am also trying to stop. Heading to exercise soon after having a slimfast for breakfast.0

MadDog, I understand that. I was curious because I'm all over the place in terms of hunger/satiation. I'm definitely in the same boat as you...I've messed something up. Great workout
Hope you are feeling better, colds suck!
Ogs, it doesn't sound stupid at all and is in fact, a great achievement! We all know that voice and to conquer it even once is a victory, truly. That's what this is all about! Celebrate your victories!!
Bjmer, that's a great goal. Just take it one day a time
Today I'm proud of myself for seriously killing it at the gym. I am SO sore today I also erased the pre-logged dessert I was planning on having after I logged my dinner. I did not stress and eat it anyways, but decided I could enjoy it within my goals today instead. 0 -
MadDog, 39 minutes on the treadmill! That is impressive!
Ogs, that is a great feat! Honestly, I'm in one of my longest, no-binge streaks ever, and I had a day much like your own, where I started eating mini kit-kats, putting me 150 over my daily goal and because I saw i went over, I very nearly decided to finish the entire box, but I stopped myself. Those times where you regain control are huge! If I had given in, I probably wouldn't have made such progress with stopping the binge monster!
Bjmer, great goal! Best of luck, it's great when we finally get real with ourselves and try to make big changes in our lives!
WillLift, awesome job with the workout, that is a great feeling! And I don't think I would EVER be able to erase pre-logged dessert, I'm such a sweets junkie, that is impressive!
I'm proud of 2 things, one is from yesterday. Yesterday I finally told my boyfriend of two years about my binge eating. I apparently hid it well because I could tell he was shocked, but accepting. It feels good to finally have that weight off my shoulders!
And today I had a check up with my doctor. 6 months ago, my cholesterol was incredibly high for a 22 year old girl. Today when she saw me, she congratulated me on my weight loss, and told me my total cholesterol dropped by 60 points, and my LDL (bad cholesterol) dropped by 40 points! I still have a little more work to do in getting it down, but I am relieved, because the high cholesterol at such a young age really scared me! I'm glad I turned things around and am building a better & healthier future for myself!1 -
Kge, first of all CONGRATS on such a huge health accomplishment! It must be nice to see that your hard work is not only paying off on the scale, but also in your overall health. You're treating your body well, and in turn, it is responding well. Very cool Also, I'm glad you found support in your boyfriend. I just only recently told my husband and I know what you mean about finally lifting that weight off. Beautiful
Today I'm proud of the fact that I was able to have a lazy evening in front of the television without allowing a binge. Now to conquer the weekend AND spring break next week....one day at a time 0 -
Today I'm proud of myself for adapting my plans when I ate something I hadn't planned to eat, instead of freaking out and going overload. I also learned that if I plan the day in advance, the day before, it's less likely that anxiety will take over and cause a binge.0

Today I'm proud of myself for finally realizing that this is an issue that's affecting my life and that I need to get it under control. I want to be happy and healthy, not anxious to the point of panic over food and exercise on a daily basis. Today, I joined this group as a way to figure out coping strategies, learn from others, and to hopefully start on the path to living the fulfilling, satisfying life I deserve.1

Today I am just proud of who I am. For no reason in particularly.
I could mencioned that I am proud for going to workout even when I don't feel like it (today was one of those days), but mainly today, I am just proud of me.
And I hope that everyone here feels the same way about themselves. That's why this post is so amazing. Even when you feels the day had nothing special, remember, you are special (not only the day)!0 -
I totally love this thread! It has really helped me to try and stay positive in attitude, when that is not usually my normal stature. Small changes day by day :-)
Today I'm proud of myself for being a good co-worker, mom, wife, and actually did some exercise for myself, too :-)0 -
We are ALL awesome !
I'm proud for actually getting to the gym today ....... would much rather have been a couch potato
0 -
Wow, y'all are all amazing. I'm so inspired by each of you
Welcome Red_Mage! It's hard to acknowledge, but you're right, you nor anyone else should have to have to live with that anxiety. There are a ton of great links and info here. I hope you find some things that work for you.
Diana, you're exactly right! The reason I wanted to start this thread was to remind myself to be more kind and positive to myself. We all deserve to treat ourselves kindly.
MadDog, I'm so glad! I love coming here and reading yours and everyones's updates. Y'all are inspiring and motivate me to stick to my goals!
I'll be off on a week-long vacation this week and not sure if I'll be able to get on here. But I hope y'all all have an amazing week and continue to celebrate yourselves and your victories!
Today I'm proud of myself for literally throwing out an entire package of something I intended to eat. I was excited to try it, but I took a bite, found it to be completely disappointing and threw it away!! Usually I'd eat it just to eat it, and because I bought it and why waste money? But I just chunked it :noway: Ok, this might be weird, but it's huge for me lol.0 -
Today I am proud of myself for allowing myself a large slab of cake after a long run and a big bowl of risotto for dinner without it descending into a full on binge. I was in control the whole day and because I properly refuelled after my run I didn't feel as exhausted as I usually do and was able to do the housework too instead of just lying on the sofa too tired to move.0

I'm proud of myself for logging my food today.0
-
Yesterday I binge ate which I was disappointed about and when this happens I usually don't log in my calories...but I today I am proud because I went back and logged in EVERYTHING I ate, even though it was way over my calories for the day.
I am also proud because I did not let that affect my whole weekend and I ate sensibly today, usually when I have a bad binge weekend night I also binge the next day because then I make myself believe that I'm giving myself the weekend to binge and then I'll get back on track.0 -
It's so wonderful reading through all of these accomplishments. I'm finally coming to the realization that this is going to be a slow process and you all inspire me.
Today I'm proud of myself for... saying "No" to the Dr Pepper for the 2nd day in a row. Big deal for this addict! LOL0 -

Wow! Way to go buddy!! 0 -
Today I am proud for two things:
I have gone a whole week without logging any of my food/exercise (I'm having serious OCD issues with food / portions / weighing / measuring / sharing...enough to drive me and my BF insane). The week didn't start off too great cause I binged a few times, but the last two days have been much better. My mind is starting to feel a little bit clearer.
But what I am even more proud of is that I went to an OA (over-eaters anonomous) meeting last night. This could be a way for me to come out of hiding from this ED I have, so I'm def gonna give this a shot and make it a weekly thing to attend these meetings. It was so inspiring and maybe al ittle bit comforint too to hear actual people talk about their ED. I didn't talk during the meeting but hope that I will be confident enough to do so one day.0 -
These are all awesome entries!! This group has helped me more than anything lately!
Today I'm proud of myself for dragging my daughter outside and going for a nice long walk/jog in beautiful sunny weather:-D0 -
Hi everyone.
Today I'm proud of myself for being on my fourth day of no bingeing. I do hope I can make it through tonight though, the binge cravings hit me hard about 15 minutes ago.0 -
Well done everyone, you're all FABULOUS.
I am proud that I calmed my pre-interview nerves with a sesh at the gym instead of a sugar binge and half a packet of cigs!0 -
Today I'm proud of myself for not stopping at the quick stop for the Dr Pepper and Breakfast pizza that blows my whole day. I made breakfast burritos at home for me & my girls then had a crystal light with it. Sounds like an easy thing to not stop but it hasn't gotten to be such a habit that I go even when I'm not hunger.
YAY ME! LOL
I understand mine habit was Casey bacon egg an cheese breakfast sandwich an OJ an later in day a can of coke havnt had any for couple days.0 -
Today I'm proud of myself for logging all of my food over the weekend. It can be a challenge sometimes...0
-
Today I am proud of myself for going to an exercise class, and not eating all of the chocolate that I have available to me, putting it away and drinking water instead.0

Love this post!
The day's not over yet, but today I'm really proud of myself that I ate clean and was satisfied.
It's really a day by day struggle, but today I'm so so proud that I had enough will power to say no to reaching for my trigger foods and even no to over eating in general. Just to say that I got through one day makes me smile and feel so... empowered! This is awesome!
Best of luck to you all too!0 -
Today I'm proud of myself for practicing moderation with out binging. It was a first for me and a success, I couldn't be happier0
-
...walking on the treadmill for 20 min, when all I wanted to do was crawl in bed and pull up the covers :-)0
-
I am so proud of myself for eating PROTEIN for breakfast and going to workout first thing in the morning, even though I was 20 minutes late for my class. I let go of the all or nothing mentality and had fun dancing in zumba.0
-
Wow, ya'll have been doing amazingly! I love seeing all your victories and I'm celebrating in my heart with ya'll. Thanks so much for sharing
I'm so sorry I've been away longer than I expected. Our week long vacation took a rough turn at the end and I haven't been able to get back to normal in RL, let alone have time to come on here. I really missed ya'll though and glad to see you've been doing well.
Today I'm proud of myself for re-focusing myself and getting back on a healthy track, not only physically, but mentally and emotionally. It's been a rough couple of weeks but I'm determined to not let it impact me and my family long-term. I am stronger than the circumstances I must overcome.0 -
not over eating last weekend. The last two have been a total bust! I've been doing the 5:2 for about 3 weeks and the work week has been holding, not the weekend.
And
This morning my DH got me out of bed to do a 20 minute yoga session with my 30 minute elliptical walk. Hope I am able to continue this.0 -
Today I am proud of myself for not just giving up after my weekend binge and getting back on track!0
-
Today I'm proud of myself for getting thru the one of the worst workdays ever without killing or maiming a coworker. Hopefully tonight I can be proud that I didn't take those awful feelings and stuff them down with food.0
