    Need to re-find my motivation, scales showed a 7lbs increase from the weekend! Yesterday I resisted cakes, ice cream, chocolate so day 1 was a success, need to keep it up.

    @Hecka_Rebecca, I had the same issue yesterday. But I was able to give myself the win and I hope for a better day today.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm back again... I seem to show up here periodically when I struggle with emotional eating. I think I had about 8 days or so in January where I binged... and it's not just the eating, but using food to avoid dealing with stressful issues, etc. Anyway, I know we've all been there. The good news is that I'm really focused on making it a binge-free February (that's not to say I'm going to hit my calorie goals everyday, but I hope to avoid any uncontrolled emotional eating). So:

    @NiceGuySF, welcome back...still love that profile pic of yours!
    @Pretty_Little_Nobody, I understand what you're going through. Most here do, I'm sure. Thinking of you.

    It's been way too long since I've been on here. I had lost 30 lbs, was eating healthy and going to the gym, and then totally went off the rails from late September through, well, the beginning of this month, and gained it alllll back. I could list all the reasons why but the thing is, regardless of what's going on in my life, I somehow need to make myself and my health a priority, and stop making excuses. My schedule is crazy so it'll be hard to be on here every day and I apologize in advance if I'm not very responsive, but I hope this will help keep me accountable, and I know from being here in the past that it's helpful to be part of a group of people who understand the struggle.

    I started over on Monday (2/11), though already slipped up yesterday.

    Valentines this evening, determined not to let the occasion prompt me to go silly and eat endlessly...

    Controlled how much I ate to a point, had a little extra of some cake and a couple of chocolates but then took myself to bed when I felt the urge to eat more. Feels like a half win because I still had more than I had intended but took myself away when I could have easily just eaten.

    2 of my top triggers are going to my mom's and dealing with emotions.

    Today I'm going to my mom's to meet with the funeral planner lady. So mom's and emotions. I'm not even convinced I should even fight the urge.

    I'm new to the group. Lost t a lot of weight. I had been BF four years. Last four months binge eating is back with a vengeance. Scared of my weight gain and feeling out of control. Looking for support. Feel free to add me.

    Welcome @fit_chickx, you’ve got a team behind you!

    @Llamapants86 what a load to carry! My friend, I want so much to help you, is there anything I can say that can inspire you? All I can say is I am praying so hard for you and yours! You CAN do this!

    I didn't binge. I just didn't really get any strong urges. I gave myself permission to eat what I wanted and it ended up ok. None of the panic and pure impulse of a binge.

    @Czuni6 I don't think there was anything anyone could say, but just knowing some people are willing to listen to me and a kind thought helps.
