    This morning I went to a brunch. This evening I went to a dinner party. I did not overeat at either of them. (I usually overeat at social occasions. )

    This afternoon I wanted to eat, but I had just eaten. I thought about it and realized I was tired, not hungry. So I took a short nap and felt better. Before when I was tired, I would often eat a bunch of sugary treats.

    It is very helpful and inspiring to read your posts.

    Today I'm proud of myself for not being TOO embarrassed about having my pic taken recently. Profile pic is me at my heaviest, and yesterday - a bit of loss is noticeable, and I feel much better, as well. Good luck to all!

    Today I'm proud that I had the opportunity to binge, but was able to talk back to ED and get through it. I feel like my recovery is really sticking, and I'm the one who is in control :)

    Today I'm proud of myself for NOT eating a yogurt I didn't really want, and instead, opting for one handful of trail mix. Along with bingeing comes this unnecessary impulse to finish everything in front of me, whether I like it or not. For this, I am proud :happy:

    Ya'll are so inspiring! I just love popping in here and seeing all these amazing wins from each of you. Ya'll ROCK!

    Today I'm proud of myself for sticking to my plan of biking to work. I was sooo close to talking myself out of it, but I'm so glad I didn't. Biking to/from work for the whole week!

    That's a great goal! Pretty beneficial for your health, and probably a great way to enjoy alone-time.

    I'm proud that yesterday, I ate a moderate amount of fast food and tracked it beforehand. This would be one of the instances where I'd rationalize and say that if I was already eating something "bad", that I might as well go full in because who knows when I'd allow myself that splurge next time (then of course I'd do it again the next day). What would have originally been a normal portion size so often becomes a bag full of burgers and fries, with a stop at the doughnut shop for multiple desserts, because why the heck not. Instead, I was able to enjoy a normal meal and stay within my calorie goal!

    Happy Friday!

    I am proud of myself for making myself weigh at WW and was pleasantly surprised I lost 0.6 pounds.

    I am going to try to pop in here most days and post one thing I did in the day that I am proud of.

    Keep rocking and thanks again for an awesome thread!:flowerforyou:

    For crawling out of bed (at 6 pm today) and a pool of self pity and went out and ran 11 miles. Running is my way I purge. But I feel so much better during and after a run.

    So pleased that I did not get up and eat last night. I got up twice to use restroom, but walked right by the kitchen both times without stopping to graze.

    Accountability Post: Today is a new day. I will start this day by committing to being healthier. I will hit my appointed percentages of both protein and healthy fats. And I will eat something besides oatmeal and raw vegetables. And the reason I post this is because I did some analysis of my macros and seen in 22 / 23 of the last 30 days, I was well under on both protein and fats respectively.

    Today I'm proud of myself for filling my weekend with fun activities that balanced out the celebratory foods and drinks. I'm also proud that I logged everything, and only had one over-calorie day! I still need to work on logging everything the day of, but I'm proud that I still logged accurately, even a day later :)

    Molly, so sorry for the car troubles. I hope your week is looking up!

    Ibleed, that's a great goal! I find that I feel more satiated with adequate protein and fats in my diet :)

    Today I'm proud of myself for...joining this group and posting! My problem with binging is something that literally not a single person in my life knows about. This is the first time I've admitted it "out loud" to anyone. Even to myself, I've always denied the severity of it. But I'm realizing that I can't reach my weight loss goals if I don't accept this is an issue, and work to fix it. So here I am!

    Welcome! I had a similar realization not too long ago and it's definitely helped, even though I still have a long way to go.

    Today, I'm proud of myself for saying no to buying a chocolate bar at work when my colleagues did because I recognized that I wasn't hungry.

    This is awesome! I struggle with this one too. Especially when I binge. Good job!

    Denial is a problem for sure! Good job on recognizing the need to admit problem and commit to working on the issue.

    I am proud that yesterday I managed a day without bingeing - this is quite an achievement for me! I am proud that today I feel strong and love myself enough to remember that I am in control.

    Welcome Moxie. glad to have you! I totally understand where you're coming from. Acknowledging that there is a problem is a huge step. Congrats and keep your head up :)

    That's great Clare! What a victory to love yourself <3

    Today I'm proud of myself for living life. I may not be busting down goals one day after another, but I'm enjoying my life with my husband, staying active, and generally feeling great about where I am right now.
