    Oops. I missed a day. I'm actually at 9 days binge-free, not 8. Soooo yay for that. Struggling to keep on track, but so far-- doing it day by day. Birthday week and I'll be visiting home up in New England so that will come with its challenges!!!

    Days of Controlled eating since June 1st = 10 if today already counts. :)

    Days of Binge eating since June 1st = 0 if today already counts. Haha...

    It's been a little difficult because my husband purchased a huge tub of ice cream and told me that he's going to be monitoring how much I eat daily. I think that he thinks this will help me, but what he doesn't realize is that I feel teased. I've told him, but he really doesn't understand. The good thing is that it has helped! And I'm very surprised about that. I don't like it one bit, but it's teaching me to eat slower and enjoy my little scoop of ice cream. Before I would have just not purchased it at all, because I would finish the entire bucket in a couple of days. He says that I need to learn how to control the way that I eat, rather than deprive myself of good things. I believe what he says to be true, but I grew up being able to eat how much food I wanted without anyone saying anything. This is pretty tough, but I'm appreciating it hesitantly. Do you have secrets to enjoy good comfort foods with self-control or do y'all have help like me? Seriously...

    Hi! I'm completely new to this group- or any groups actually. I'm in desperate need of support and accountability. The last 40 days have been a real disaster after 16 weeks of pretty clean eating and no binges. All of a sudden it's happening again and I'm not sure why but I feel so out of control and like a bottomless pit that never gets full. Weekends are especially bad. So here we go...

    @dmm465 welcome to the group. It can be so hard. What helped me was to go back to what I know worked. Not where I was at when I was at my best. but the first steps that helped me to get there. Also just dont give up. You will get through it. for me i wanted to avoid posting and avoid the scale because I didnt want to admit to myself what I was doing. But accountability and consistent effort has helped me.

    Lost track in Memphis but think I saw Elvis? The BINGE has advantages as most of us know on travel.
