    So happy to have found this Group and this thread's 'tracking' aspect appeals to me.
    After having lost almost 90 lbs. over the past 18 months, I'm really struggling with maintenance. It's like I know how to lose weight but I don't know how to maintain it.
    Determined to keep trying though!

    I have very similar experiences. I find comfort in eating in a deficit much of the time because it is much more controlled. I had my first binge in forever last month and it started because I had a day that I had to really increase my calories due to my maintenance level and a bunch of exercise. It went off the rails. However, I also realized that I need to eat more all through the day and not leave so many calories for dinner and beyond. That has been helping me.

    Thanks for this insight, I need to remember to eat throughout the day (in a controlled manner) as well on those high-ish calorie days.

    I keep buying food to binge on (chocolate) but then do not want it. I am feeling a little stressed and think that chocolate would help but I know it won't. I should throw it away but I hate to waste money. I think putting this out there in writing will get me to stop buying the chocolate. The source of my stress should be resolved tomorrow.

    Thanks for your support!

    Hi there! I just found this support group and I like it. I am joining you if you don't mind. So far today I have been sticking to my daily calories and planned food. I will report tonight if the day was binge-free.

    Like Kadizia, I am just back from vacation and need to recommit. NYC has way too many delicious treats - and drinks! - and I way overdid it. I can feel that I've put a few pounds on and I don't like it :P

    Hi everyone! I am relatively new to this group (though not to binging) and really think this challenge will be helpful to me! I have a tendency to get upset with my (lack of) weight loss and figure I might as well eat whatever I want! In hindsight, it always seems silly. I'd like to finish August binge free!

    I'm leaving on Sunday for a business trip to California (I'm in Ontario, Canada). I have a history of binges in hotel rooms while on the road. I haven't travelled for business for quite some time and I'm really hoping to beat the binge this time. Stay tuned :smile:
