    Wow! That's tough! I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully you get back into the swing of things right away. As for me, it's that time of the month and I can barely get out of bed. All I want is comfort food and My blankie with a good show. Currently Watching Grey's Anatomy.

    Aside: I tried telling my brother again that I binge. He wife recently was gambling again, and I explained a similarity as I thought of it. He says "just stop" and she should "just stop".

    I ate too much yesterday, but it was not a binge. I haven't weighed or ; logged since my last binge. But I think things are calm enough that I can get back to that tomorrow. That will be my best bet.

    I have a track star visiting. 5ft 9 inches, 125 pounds, nibbles - just not obsessed.

    Not obsessed would be a great way to live.

    It's not as easy as "Just stopping" though! It can be so hard to get the binge eating under control. Especially because we're faced every single day with food.

    Well, as long as it's wasn't too much food. Try weighing yourself again. That might help get you into focus.

    I feel when I am premenstrual I have such low self esteem that is compels me to diet. It is a sick circle. I am having a bad day today. I have used up most of my cals. "Just stopping" is not as easy as it sounds. I don't know what drives me to eat. I have gotten better the last 6 mos or so. I have a good co-worker that I can come to. I have to figure out a plan for home. Every good decision is GOOD! Remember that. I am trying to.

    Maybe we should get together and really figure out some solution to binge eating. Something easy as 1 2 3

    So let's see, this would be Day 2. Four meals today, but no binging. As I watch my 16 year old neice who is visiting first want "this" then "that" it makes me think maybe my binging is similar in maturity to a 16 year old being wishy washy.

    I think that might help. Well, what's helped me so far was that picture I posted in the challenge thread. That helped huge! I feel my will power rising.

    Just about made it through day 3. Still watching my neice, and not wanting to demonstrate immaturity out with food. I believe I shall make a green drink because tomorrow may be busy and that would be a comfort to have on hand. Then perhaps an apple snack and sleep. I did not have 4 meals today, and I do feel hungry. But, I have not weighed since the last time I did showed a gain. Also I did not record that gain. And I have not logged my food intake, but I do know what a reasonable amount of food is for me.

    Well all in all, I think you day was a success. Plus, even if you don't feel as good as you want, there's always tomorrow!

    Made it through day 4 with only overeating macaroni and cheese, which is not a binge, but a temporary adolescent "if I see it I will eat it" regression. My husband bought it at the deli, ate a tiny big and left it open on the counter. Adolescent regression. Anyhow, it was not a binge, which is a whole different animal, don't you think? So, today is day FIVE!!!! My husband is making a huge steak, which is not a binge, just a lot, and I have green drink made, and then I will have a diet milk shake.

    What is the plan for at your sister's, if there is one? Are you a closet binger or a group binger? I think there might be different strategies for each, but I am not sure. Anyway, I'll be thinkin a ya.

    Hey Sharon,


    No. That's not binging. There's over eating and there's binging. Binging is uncontrollable once you get started. How was the mac and cheese?

    As for me, today was another successful day. I feel as though my will power is coming back. I'm loving it! It feels great!

    Don't have a plan for when I am here. I definitely eat when I am alone. She has absolutely no food in her house. We ordered Pizza last night and that was my only option for lunch today. We are supposed to be going to the store to get some groceries

    Hi expecta, are you going to continue this log, or do you want to close it down due to minimal participation? All is well.
