    Yea! I feel so good today, today is day 4 and I am down a pound.
    SW 165
    CW 164
    GW 155 (mini goal for next month)
    I am still having tiny bits of the things I love, mostly chocolate, but abstaining from going overboard or over my calories. However, I've really been hitting the cardio at the gym so that helps.
    Dancer, you are a rock star because, as of now, I cannot have that stuff in my home because I do not trust myself yet. Maybe soon, but I still feel weak. I do LOVE my Weight Watchers giant fudge bars though. MMM. Tasty and low cal.

    crap. Back to day 1 tomorrow. Although I must say I'm being very technical with myself. But I want to be hard on myself to really adjust my way of behaving!

    I'm glad this challenge is really holding all of us accountable for what's being put in our mouths! If you have to start over, it's not the end of the world, just make sure to get a day 1 the very next day!! 1 day of binging is not going to set you back as far as we all think it will at the time. (But going a long time WITHOUT binging can do SO much good:wink: ) Today is day 4 for me!!! Who wants to set a mini-goal of 10 days with me!?!?

    Going out to eat with a friend tonight was really hard for me. I didnt drink which was good but I had some fried plantains and just felt kinda gross afterwards. I came home and almost starting eating a lot of pretzels but only had a few and then started pre-portioning my snacks (like nuts) that can get me into trouble. The snack size bags were a perfect size and I feel better having this stuff in the house if they are in small bags and not one large one.

    Still i feel I over indulged at dinner and am not totally happy about it but am gonna deal and be back on track at spin class in the morning.

    10 days is a great goal- I am in.

    Today is Day 5 for me, and I'll join the 10-day mini challenge.

    I'm glad that we are all doing well!

    Day 2, still going strong! I hurt my hand over the weekend and had to skip yoga today, which totally bummed me out and messed with my calorie intake. I'm 150 cals over today, but that isn't too bad. (My bindge definition is 2500+ cals in one day). Looking forward to keeping this "no binge" goal up. I like the idea of a 10 day goal... Doesn't look so daunting then!

    I get free food alot at work, dinners and such, so that's a hard time for me NOT to binge. Especially if it's buffet style! also, late at night when I'm bored. happy to say that this thread has already worked for me. I so wanted to munch on something and even had that something in mind, but didn't as I knew I'd have to write it down and go over my points.

    I'm goining to join this today (better late than never!). I'm just happy right now to discover that I'm not alone in having these self-sabotaging binges! This post is a great idea, and will hopefully help me keep my eyes on the prize! So I'm interested to know what triggers other people's binges? For me it's usually seeking comfort , but also occasionally just plain boredom! So anyway, after being 'off the wagon' for a week or so, I ate well yesterday so that will be my Day 1. I'm too scared to weigh just now, so Monday will be my weigh in day (from next week!)
    Keep up the good work everyone!:flowerforyou:

    Ok, I'm in. This is my day 1 as I had potato chips yesterday. :cry:

    My tip for a potato chip craving...eat a raw potato with some salt on it. I wish I had done that yesterday!

    Back to day 1. I went over my cals because I ate too much peanut butter (my favorite). I was tempted not to count this but I would just be cheating myself.

    I am really nervous about this weekend. I have a wedding. After the reception we usually go with the wedding party and other friends to the bar. That usually starts the slippery slope of drinking and eating too much. Then off to the dinner, usually not healthy choices, and more drinks. After the dinner more drinks and fun. But if I do this it will be like taking 2 steps back after my 1 step forward. My goal is to go home between the ceremony and dinner and freshen up and have a healthy snack. Also, I plan to drink 2 glasses of water between each drink. I would even like to leave a little early. I keep repeating my plan in my head and will until the wedding. I have to do this in order to achieve my goal.

    I love checking in to see how everyone is doing and to see that others struggle just like me.
    Good luck everyone and have a great Thursday.

    God I went out with a friend and went way over. I was totally ashamed:cry: Its back to day one for me.

    My problem is that i either eat too much or not enough. Today I had only had about 900 calories. I just dont have an appetite tomorrow I might feel like eating and pig out. I just dont eat at alot throughout the day because I am at school and stuff.

    Did well today- so I think it is technically day 2. I really think those little snack size baggies are gonna save me and the new measuring cups I bought. Really helpful not to have a bag or box of something in the house. Had a bit of a stressful work day and didnt feel like the gym so went for a long walk/run and wore my HRM- totally motivated me.

    Now off to hang with some girls. They are drinking- I am bringing flavored seltzer today. This is really helpful for me.

    Hang in there everyone and keep posting.
