    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.

    Thanks so much for your suggestions! So far today no binge! I'm hoping I haven't derailed my weight loss to bad. I'm afraid to weigh myself:(

    @Moxie42 - I find one of the most difficult times to avoid a binge is after a binge. You are so right that one binge leads to days, weeks or even months of binge eating. I have other triggers as well. But it is quite difficult to get back on track after even I episode of binge eating!

    It wasn't the basketball, it wasn't beer it was an unexpected carry out that my wife brought home from a soul food restaurant that somehow got the BINGE talking about the food of my southern youth. I guess this war we fight with BINGE cannot always be planned. I'm not on retreat though just doubling down on the attack!

    So many close calls this week! But starting my part-time consulting gig today (in addition to my full-time job). I'm looking forward to being busy, and mastering the art of one-dish and crockpot meals. It's weird- I tend to eat less healthy when I'm busy (because of not wanting to take the time to cook)...yet when I'm busy I'm less likely to actually binge. So my challenge will be always having healthy food prepped so I can both not binge AND eat healthy! I'm excited though- this consulting gig is going to open up SO many opportunities for me if all goes well. And having that light at the end of the tunnel is really helping me focus on my own goals, including my health.

    I haven't been eating particularly well, but I'm not binging and that is GREAT. My goal this week is to refocus on exercise in hope that if I can do that again, I will want to eat healthier to see and feel physical results. Sooo.... Here's to a little motivation and a lot of hope!

    I promise I'll get better with posting every day. I need to set aside a specific time each day to do this.
