After saying that I was done letting my BED rule my life, I had the worst binging day I've had. Wasn't hungry at all, binged multiple times, hid things, lied, and sabotaged. It was all punishment-focused, which I think is particularly horrible. *sigh* Just have to keep trying and trying until this actually works out. Feeling a bit hopeless, but can't do much more right now other than just try as much as I can.July 22 2014

I should fess up that on sunday it was Colombia's independence day, so I did overeat at the social event. However, I did NOT eat more when I went home at around 9:00pm. Was the day perfect? Hell no! Life gets in the way sometimes. BUT I did NOT let the Binge control me, not going to lie... I was very close to eating more but I couldn't. I've come too far to stop. By losing the "All or nothing" mentality, I know that I am going to overeat or not diet perfectly sometimes, that dosen't mean I have to eat without control over it. Just move on. Im really proud of my progress, not to mention that someone came up to me and noticed my weight loss ) I can see how the binge was preventing me from losing weight all a long.
Feliz Día de la Independencia! That was actually the only day recently that I didn't end up binging! Must've been the aguardiente. :drinker:0 -

Great job everyone!!
I'm feeling very excited to have three days in a row with no binges and under calorie goal, so naturally I am feeling pretty great physically. Mentally I'm feeling shaky though. You'd think I wouldn't want to ruin how good I feel but that's not really how it works for me. I will make it a good day though!0 -

Going to increase my calorie intake from 800 to 1000-1200 (I am pre-op, my surgeon asked me to lose weight to shrink my liver). At 800 I am setting myself up for failure. My mind was bargaining with me on the way home to get food.0 -

Made my goal yesterday to make it a day I could be proud of. Carrying that over to today, as it was the first day in a long time that I actually came out on top. It's my first appointment with a counselor today, too.0 -

A whole week and only one binge DAY! I did go on a mini-binge on one day, but I still came in under my calories for the day and I did track every little bit. I also WALKED to binge...seriously...walked a mile to get some doughnuts...if that's not devotion, I'm not sure what is, heh. But I won't count it, because I burned more calories walking there than I did eating the doughnuts (and I only ate two).0 -

:noway: Uh - oh. This is the first time since I've been recording on these binge challenges (which is a long time! Over 2 years I believe.) that the awful Binge has had a higher score than me at this time of the month.
This challenge is so good for me because it always reminds me that "it isn't every day". No matter how I like to catastrophize it, the numbers don't lie. And I try so hard to make it less than half the days.
I have got to turn this around!0 -

I was having a very great day, but then recieved some very bad news about a family member and shut down. Seems like I'm fighting a losing battle here. I take a couple of steps forward, and then get pushed right back down the stairs. Nothing to do but keep on trying. There's still a chance for me to get my score higher than TB's by the end of the month.0 -

Sorry to hear about the bad news but you can definitely beat the Binge. Keep going!0 -

Thanks for posting this! I always think I'm horrible for having so many binge days but yes, at least it's not every day.0 -

Another decent day for me. I have had less of an urge to binge again since increasing my calorie intake.
