If I make it through today, then I will have only binged one day this week and it's was pretty minor!

Keeping my fingers and toes crossed (hopefully you won't have to eat a toe).

I am sitting here in the parking lot with my vodka and Sprite Zero, ready to mix & consume as soon as I am free from this.

Choir practice was just the de-stresser I needed. Laughing, singing, and silliness is so much more relaxing than alcohol :-)

So, basically.... drunken karaoke. I think a lot of people do that to relieve stress.

No not chicken I think this is more a fish and toe themed meal.

Binge free for a week here and really pleased

Did it again with the cookies last night, on top of a big Easter dinner. I don't think the scale will be going down this week.

Was basically a mini-binge for me last night. I ate all the Cadbury eggs.... I work an odd night shift tonight, so there will be no binging opportunity... I can polish off the chocolate bunny tomorrow. Why do grown adults give each other chocolates for Easter? :huh:

I don't get Cadbury eggs... they taste like chocolate covered melted wax to me.

And I now have shin splints from running. This has really disappointed me as I was thoroughly enjoying running and working on my distances. Now I have to take a break, which bums me out. Rather, I will have to do other forms of cardio I guess. But I'll miss running. Pout.

I agree with both of you, I got a mix of the generic whateverthehell that is inside ones, and caramel ones. Did you know there are now Oreo Cadbury Eggs, too? I'd seen them advertised, and in the stores, and secretly hoped to get some. I had sorta planned on giving some too... but, the road to hell, and all that.... Anyhow, I'd alternate between one of the nondescript 'creme' ones and a caramel one. I consider that self control. :huh:
@RespectTheKitty ~ As long as you can keep doing some kinda cardio.... maybe you'll learn to enjoy it, like you do running.

I have survived easter without a single choc egg of any description. Binge free for 8 days now.

I am so impressed, what is your secret?!

I went back to ketogenic eating/ very low carb, high fat, moderate protien. I know it is not popular with most but i did a lot of research before starting it 2 years ago and the 3 months I stuck with it then, I did very well on it, then I thought I could handle normal meals out as treats. I was wrong , I fell right back into binge eating junk and it took me until last monday to get back on track. Keto really suits me because after first few days my hunger gets dialed down to a level that I imagine non eating disorder people have. After first week once transitioned I start feeling really clean and more well than on any other eating style. It is just the best way of eating for me. For me because it is not an exciting way of eating, it brings eating back to a functional thing for my body rather than a compulsive or emotional thing. It becomes more like other addictions where you can actually choose never to take that first drink etc. I can choose never to eat that first high carb meal. It may not be for most but it works for me.

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night, and found myself in the kitchen again. I opened the cabinet and looked at those damn cookies (by now there's not much left of them). I even reached for them. But something told me to stop, and I CLOSED THE CABINET AND WENT BACK TO BED without eating any cookies! I am so proud of myself this morning.

The Easter weekend has got me feeling very bloated this week. I highly doubt I will have lost any weight on my weigh-in today. Maybe I'll put off weighing myself for a few more days.

Someone brought in a box or chocolate covered marshmallow eggs, and I have been having a staring contest with them for 2 days now. I think they are mocking me right now, daring me to eat them. But I must remain strong.

That's great that it's worked so well for you. I've had mixed results with keto. The first time it was awesome, but the second time I felt a lot more deprived and obsessive about carbs, which I feel actually set off this bingeing cycle. I may have to give it another shot when I'm not bingeing so frequently.

Respectthekitty amazing about last nights cookie dodge! Congrats!

@msty112 good job, how did the rest of your night go? Were you able to hold out and not binge last night?

AHHHHHH well as long as you limit the amount you go in and out of the fridge most items should be able to hold a safe temp. Once it comes back up take temperatures of anything you are thinking of saving, food can only be between the temperature of 40 - 135 degrees for a maximum of 4 hours. If it is longer than that bacteria begins to breed and grow and that is how people get sick, because even cooking the food will not get rid of all the harmful bacteria after that time frame. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 kids I know all about vomit, poop, and teething, they are all awful. Days like that are never a good to wake up to. For your daughter try to make her comfortable I know a company name Hylands made a teething tablet that was all natural and helped my kids when they were teething.
