I agree, Ab, that these are victories. But it's pretca n easy in public. Feels like everybody is always watching the fat girl eat. The real battle begins when I get home with my plate of leftover cookies. I managed to not touch them last night, but only because they were burned
(hubby made them. I told him I couldn't, that I couldn't control myself).
Today....gonna try a new strategy! I got a variety of crunchy veg and fruit. I'm going to cut them up and package them in serving size containers so that when I have to eat, the good for me stuff is ready. No excuses. If there's grapes or broccoli ready to eat, maybe I can start breaking some of my crappy food habits.0 -
Great job Irish! I made it through my nephews birthday party without eating any pizza, cake, or chips. Trying really hard to avoid any gluten since it seems to make my body go crazy. Mostly just ate veggies without dip and some cubed cheese. I wasn't really hungry most of the day yesterday. Currently 4 days without a binge.0

Welcome! Lots of support and silliness here.
NSV to report!! My jeans that did not fit a month ago FIT! I've got 'em on, zipped, buttoned, and I can still breathe, too! Even sitting down, I can breathe.
Take that, you stupid scale

That being the case, I am very joeful about the upcoming week.
BTW, calendar eating should be encouraged. That's fiber, my friends!!!0 -
Bad day for me today. Ended my week (Monday-Sunday) with 2 binge days, instead of 3-5 which is usually where I'm at. My non binge days I ate more than I usually do and today was REALLY bad so I probably gained. This sucks0

Tomorrow is a new day and a new week. Try to dust off what happened last week and start with a fresh beginning 0 -

Am I reading you correctly? You binged, but not as many days as usual? If I am reading you correctly, then you need to celebrate! You are making strides in the right direction!!! Positivity breeds more of the same. Love yourself enough to acknowledge a victory

Idk I feel like it's certainly not worth celebrating because I ate so much more than usual. I would have been better off binging more days for less calories

The last two days have gone well for me. Not logging my food and adding a lot of fruit has made a big difference. I had developed a fear of fruits and veggies because of the carbs, so not logging on the day of makes me feel not so bad. Plus, then if I exceed calories I'm less likely to binge. I have not exceeded my calories, and have come in quite a bit lower than I should. Usually the start of my eating week goes well though (usually Saturdays and Sundays), so this could just be the usual pattern. But I feel like it's different. Reintroducing fruit and vegetables I think will help me a lot.
Day 3 is where I usually binge, if I've had good days. I also usually binge on internship days, and today is one of them. So I'm going to try really hard to keep working hard and not log on MFP until the following day, and just keep tracking food weight and stuff my personal food journal. There's a good chance I overeat today, but if I overeat and am not aware of the calories maybe it won't turn into a binge. I am also allowing myself oatmeal today, which I never do. I brought some fun things to mix into it so it'll give me something to look forward to in a controlled environment at my internship. I've decided that's a good place to reintroduce fear foods, because I can't binge there since everything is open (even the fridge and small kitchen area). So maybe that will make me more comfortable with those foods so that eventually I can eat them at home in controlled portions. Also, I am only buying single portions (from the bulk aisle) so I don't have more to binge on when I am there.
Anyway, sorry for rambling. I really hope I can get through Day 3. I feel like this bingeing cycle should be ending sometime soon anyway since it's been three months and intense binge cycles don't usually go longer than that for me, so I am really hoping this is it.0 -
Thank you! Congratulations, five days binge free is incredible! You can definitely conquer the grocery store.0
