    Awesome!!! That's fantastic! I didn't binge, but I didn't exactly eat healthy. I don't think I went over my calories, and I worked my butt off in Kickboxing today!

    Same as yesterday. I didn't binge, but I didn't eat healthy. We are in between paychecks right now, so we don't have much food to choose from. HOWEVER I needed something sweet, so I was looking around for chocolates but I decided to have watermelon instead. Quite happy with that. Once I can get groceries I'll be more successful. But I'm done eating for the day. No matter what my mouth says!

    Done eating for the day. The restaurant waiter did not quite get my order as I had hoped due to language barriers, but overall I got nearly what I wanted and avoided any binging today. YAY. Done eating for the day. ALso I did 25 minutes light exercise which felt great

    That's awesome!! Yeah, the watermelon was definitely a great substitute. It took my sweet tooth away!

    Packed a breakfast and ate soup for lunch. Work was so busy (I couldn't eat much) that I was able to have a hearty dinner. Hope you all had a great day!

    Great stuff! Well, for me, I am very lacking in the food department right now. It's sucks! BUT usually these days are a free for all because my mind tells me there's no point trying to be healthy anyways. Now, admittedly I didn't eat very nutriciously, but I managed to not binge. I'm so looking forward to payday! What a great day that will be!!

    Had a good day until an ex sent me a text out of the blue. It brought with it a lot of feelings. The result? I ate everything in site to the point I'm still feeling sick this morning. I hate that I let food take charge!!

    Well, I keep gaining a pound a day. I haven't been logging, but thought I was doing ok. Kind of miffed at this, and in response ate an extra chicken leg along with oatmeal and banana. OK group, I vow that I am going to drink some water and go outside and dig some dirt up. I will probably be struggling - usually when I struggle I give up. But, I do have chili prepared for lunch, and a half cup is maintenance, so I will do that for lunch. Then dinner - meatloaf and green drink and my regular diet dessert. So, out I go. THanks group.

    Oh no!! Bad feelings? Yeah, that next day feeling is just terrible!! It's so crazy how just eating can make you feel better in that moment. Are you feeling any better now?

    Sometimes logging just gets so overwhelming! I stopped about a week ago because I couldn't wrap my mind around it anymore. As for the gaining, could it be sodium? I know that I can pack on like 10 pounds when it comes to sodium intake!

    That sounds like a lovely meal day! Good for you! Go burn those calories by digging!!

    Physically I feel better but emotionally not so much. I'll get through it though. Not too bad of a food day today but tomorrow I'll be up early for a nice long walk!

    Yes!!! Stop that!!! No shaming yourself! I'll admit it to you, on my trip I ate a lot of junk!!! Road trips just need junk food in my opinion! It's okay friends! We're only human and we're here for each other!

    Counted every dumb calorie today. We ordered out for lunch at work. I didn't eat great but didn't over indulge. I am under my calorie goal but feeling hunger pangs. I usually eat dinner after work but I ate before I left. So my body is confused. Think I will go to bed early a that way I don't mess this up..... hope everyone had a great Memorial day.
