    Hope everyone is doing well! I've had a very busy month. That, coupled with lack of motivation, has caused me to lose track. I'm starting fresh tomorrow.

    Close call today. Posting early in hopes of keeping my streak and not having to change this later. Motivation, perhaps!

    I had the house to myself for hours on Saturday night and wasn't even tempted to binge! That never happens!

    @Moxie42 - that is the most incredible thing I've heard today!!! *high five* Kudos. Bet you feel awesome having stuck to your plan!

    Thanks @KnitOrMiss ! It feels great! It's tempting to think "I hope it lasts..." because I know I'm still riding on Cloud 9 from some good news I got on Friday, but right now I refuse to think that way. For the first time in a long time, I feel happy and confident, and I'm going to enjoy it while I can and use this as a reminder of what is possible because I know there will be days I need to remember what this feels like.

    Thinking the time change and resulting trouble sleeping may have contributed to the 3/13 binge- I'm very much a creature of routine and I felt "off" all day Sunday. Down 7 lbs from 2/14 thanks to appetite suppressants + diet + exercise.

    Worked from home today because I've got a cold. I was very tempted to binge on comfort foods but so far so good. Glad I prepped a crockpot meal last night!

    Made it through the "Ides of March Battle". But today is the start of March Madness tough day for a guy who grew up in North Carolina the college basketball state. Nothing goes better with the tournment than ... you guess it beer! A major test for a 1449 calorie diet.

    Feeling low to have been binging after a good run this year. Any ideas about moving forward and leaving these thoughts behind?

    You can see from this group that we all make mistakes. It is especially discouraging after a good number of days. But don't let a binge derail your good plans. Don't use a binge as an excuse like "well I already blew it, I may as well keep eating". Put it behind you. It is over. From this moment on, get back on track. You will be successful and have another good run. Try going for a walk - a little exercise and change of scenery can help.
    Hugs

    Struggling and haven't been sticking to the plan, but I haven't binged. I feel like pure stubbornness is getting me through because I'm just so sick and tired of slipping up. It's really hard for me to get back on track after a binge- it turns into days or weeks of it. I just need to get over this cold and get my energy back.

    @wendyron3 - as branbuds said, we all slip up from time to time and it can be hard to get back on track. If it were easy, we wouldn't need this group! All you can really do is focus on the now. You can't do anything about what happened yesterday or this morning, but you can focus on what you can do today and tomorrow. Sometimes, to get out of the binge cycle, I'll find a new recipe to try and make a big, yummy dinner that's also healthy. It makes it fun and new, so I look forward to it and avoid other temptations.
