    Fellow Bingers. Tonight its Monday evening here already (10.30pm), I was preparing my supper , was feeling hungry (went through HALT, yep hungry) had done a zumba class. And I decided to have some sourdough toasted with cream cheese. Thats ok, but what did I do well there was only a little bit of bread left and instead of just cutting myself 2 slices, NOOOO, I cut the whole lot, which was only another 2 slices and the little knobby crust bit. You see i cant stand waste, that little bit would have dried out or so i convinced myself and then i would have thrown it out, such a waste. So eat it instead, but really it would have been fine to have as toast tomorrow. I did have the calories still, but that's not the point. Another lesson, its ok to leave a bit there. put that one with the mindless eating of yesterday's chocolate. Ok these are small binges, but I am looking at the whole picture. Had many big binges last week, one being, a large packet of bbq chips with french onion dip, and 4 oreo's, for supper. I feel if I can learn from my small mistakes I may learn to avoid the big ones.:laugh: :happy: :tongue:

    :yawn: :yawn: :yawn: Goodnight all.
    Oh goodness, I do the same thing! Unless I am absolutely stuffed, I will always finish what is on my plate. This becomes a problem at restaurants when the portions are huge! Your binge does not sound bad at all, but I really like your thinking about correcting the small mistakes to avoid big ones. A small binge can always lead to a bigger one (and with me it usually does).

    I agree, it doesn't sound like your binge was bad, but at least you learned a valuable lesson: It's okay NOT to finish everything on the plate:) Kudos to you for learning from your mistake and moving on!

    One of the quotes they used to tell us in weight watchers was: "waste it or waist it"!!!! So true!

    This sounds like a discussion I need to be involved in. Hi all! Just started getting my act together today - here's to no binges!

    This is my 4th day, no binges! No urges to binge either. I feel like I finally have my motivation back.

    hi Kristy! and everyone...day three for me yesterday, and I had a late snack lastnight. Was a bowl of cereal with yoghurt and a banana... not like my usual night snack... but THAT tipped me over my daily calories, and I was doing so well! hahaha, ohkay beatingmyselfup time over.

    I'm still doing well with no binging tho, and not over stuffing myself with fatty foods, instead i will eat more and more veges or low carb/fat foods, drinking lots and LOTS of water. I've recently quit smoking in the last 4 months, so I have extra cravings. I'm enjoying this challenge, as it is a test of the nerves and inner strength.

    Oookay... in saying that, does anyone know of some super tasty night snacks? It's winter here in NZ and I find myself hungrier than usual.

    bring on the weekend, HOORAH!

    DAY 6: weekend didn't go so well, I failed miserably on Saturday which I am trying not to beat myself up over.

    Today is a new day, bring on day 7. Here I go for the next 14 days. Hope everyone else is doing better than I am :)

    Great day to all!

    Day 3 accomplished and happy with.

    Well I did start this no binge much earlier but have had to reset the clock. Really want to achieve 21 days straight.

    I am looking at the calories I am consuming. Trying to make them all good for me. Looking at having low GI so that it sustains me more, keeping it natural, the least processed if possible, lots of natural foods (fruit and vege), protein, dairy and eating regularly. Drinking water and exchanging black tea for green tea at least once a day. I feel by shifting my focus on to the quality of the calories/fuel I am putting into my body, may help me resist urges to binge particularly on the wrong stuff.

    Natp274.... I could also do with some late night healthy snack suggestions. I am in Australia, so winter as well, and the cold makes me want to eat. Also does anyone know what is best to have late at night. carbs, protein etc.

    Wishing you all luck today with no binging and if you have had a bad day, no worries, just start again, its all a learning process.

    Is this a closed group or could I jump in on this now? I've been going through this cycle of doing great at resisting my binge urges (because honestly, they're always there) for about 4-5 days, and then I just break down. Some binges aren't so bad (an ice cream or a few slices of pizza), but some can be pretty bad.

    Jump in,Schwiggity. I have now done day 3, with good eating. Although the day isnt quite over. (10.40pm ) but I will not give in to temptation. By writing this now i hope it keeps me away from the late night snacking.

    Alright, well yesterday went well. Today's the start of the new day. I think doing this along with my running training will help me keep structured and away from the binge mentality.

    I love that acronym, I'm always binging when I'm bored or fed up so I'll definately be using it! :smile:

    The urge to binge has been pretty bad these couple of days. It keeps creeping up on me, without any real triggers.

    Kristyo25, I would like to be included in your 21day chalange. I am in my 1st week using mfp and love it. Binging on Ice Cream is my biggest challenge. I vow to be faithful in disclosing all of what I eat. I don't feel that it will do me any good to use it part way. I am at 249 this weight lose actually started for me when I was diagnosed with Diabeties type 2. I started at 275 and got down to 240 great for me!! Now I have Binged my way back up to 249. I am so disappointed.
    Heres to no binges.
