    MFPs... YOU ARE WORTH THE EFFORT TO CHANGE

    Share your favorite tip today? What is working for you? What are YOU doing today to change? What little changes are you making?

    PLEASE SHARE YOUR TIPS?

    MY STAT TIP:

    Say NO to first unhealthy item tempting you! Replace it or trash it NOW! Hide it! "NO" out loud & mean it. Is it really worth the extra calories & regret? If not - say no! Just this once! (Just pitched yummy pumpkin dump cake) YES

    SAD is due to a chemical imbalance, so just replacing those thoughts isn't an effective fix. Sunlamps/tanning, exercise, creatine or even seeking medical help can improve SAD.

    Many people can improve their binge eating by setting their goal to lose 1 pound or half a pound per week and eating protein with each meal.

    Thank you usmcmp. Great suggestions & tips! Didn't have much luck with lamps.
    Take RX for depression, helps some.

    Have you found creatine helps? Tell me more...

    I have been planning ahead my meals and snacks for the day. First looking at my schedule and then planning the times and foods I will eat. This has really helped this week.

    I binge eat when I'm in a fibro flare - I think that I feel so badly that I deserve to eat something yummy. I have to retrain myself to think that I deserve to eat healthy lose weight and feel better at least where my weight is concerned since I have no control over the chronic pain.

    I stress binge badly. Sometimes so much that I feel sick. I was recently diagnosed with depression and anxiety as well as insulin resistance. Feels like an uphill battle. I appreciate the suggestions and welcome any motivation offered!

    I am an emotional/ stress binge eater and need the support and motivation to lose the 30+ pounds I've gained :( Please add me!!

    I'm trying to identify triggers that make me flip from a healthy eating mentality to a "I deserve to eat this bad food" thinking. I'm like someone said above - I will actually eat badly until I make myself sick. That's why I can't have "cheat" days - I'll eat thousands of calories in that one day and feel terrible!

    I had been doing really well for a few weeks not binge eating but a friend of mine passed away last weekend and I have been binge eating almost every day since :(

    Today is the first day I have not binged and I am planning to keep it up tomorrow as well. I have no true goal, really, I do aim to be in a deficit but as long as I don't go over my maintenance calories at this point I consider that a huge step in the right direction.

    Good luck everyone else! You can do it!

    How's it going cheerios? So sorry your friend passed. I lost a dear friend couple years back, and it crushed me. Hope you are having better days busting the binge
