    Damn chocolate. I really need to keep very little in the house.
    And keep myself on a better sleep schedule. I seem to handle myself better when I'm well-rested. I know there's a leptin/ghrelin connection there so I need to use that knowledge to my advantage. Easier said than done.

    Major binge yesterday. Not going to feel shame or be disgusted, I am human, I make mistakes. One day will not undo everything, now back on track!!

    It's hard to get back in control after you binge. But each day has been better than the last. And this morning I set an appointment for therapy with a food addiction specialist. I'm praying this is the answer to finally being cured.

    Good for you on seeing a therapist. I have seen many over the years and they are worth every dime. I hope it is a good fit.

    @IsMollyReallyHungry, I hope you're right! She deals with food issues specifically so, we shall see. I keep feeling like if I can't help/stop myself no one will be able to but what do I have to lose, right?

    Dealing with some really terrible stuff right now and trying hard not to lose sight of how important this is too. It's hard to hold it together when everything else feels so unstable. But I really don't need to give myself a reason to feel bad about myself right now so the best thing I can do is stay on track.

    I hope you're okay. Just do whatever you can to stay afloat.

    I am reframing what I'm considering a binge. Since I'm on a very strict diet program right now, I've been considering anything I eat off plan a binge. But yesterday I went off plan but I did it in a controlled manner because I wanted to do it. So, as long as I can maintain that control, I'll deal with the going off plan part separately if this is what it takes to keep me sane about it all.

    Sounds like a good idea.

    That's so true! You wont feel better after a binge, not worth it. Hang in there :)

    Lately I keep slipping. They're not huge binges but it's like I have a normal eating day then I get off work/school in the evening and I'm here by myself which just ends up in a period of overeating or binge eating. I can't tell which it is sometimes, I guess it's a binge since I'm losing control. It's not as bad as it could be, but it's definitely not healthy either.

    My goal is to do this Me vs The Binge challenge faithfully in May (I might not be on the forums daily but I'll keep better track and come here now and then to update)
    I think it would help me stay on track.

    Felt like snacking big time tonight. Hubby is going through some drama at work, but I stood my ground.

    Thanks for the support you guys! I think things will be fine...I just found out some kind of distressing and possibly dealbreaking information about my husband and we've been married all of three months which is hard to deal with. We may still be able to work it out though. I just wish the timing wasn't so terrible you know?

    Don't like these numbers but they are better than last month. I'll focus on that.

    Kadizia, I can't imagine what you are going through, and I can't "hope you'll work through it" because for me at least, there are very real deal breakers when it comes to relationships. I just hope you find the strength to get through this time. Take your frustrations out with walks, yoga, kickboxing and not food as we love to do. Stay active and try to find some peace! I wish you the best!! Big hugs!!

    Good attitude. All we can do is make small improvements; look at the positives you have achieved, and look at this number as something to try to continue to improve!

    Thanks for the support advice! I'm not really sure if it's a dealbreaker - he's basically uncovered a new aspect of his sexuality and it's not clear yet what exactly it is because he's suffered a bunch of sexual abuse in the past. We're trying to work through it together but to say that I'm terrified would be an understatement. I'm trying really hard to keep everything together in my life and also to support him and it feels like both of those things might not be possible.
