I made it through yesterday (19th) no problem, but I am struggling hard today. I am just a little all over the place and unsettled. It's the kind of day where binging just seems like such a "great" idea.
Wish me luck, I think I can pull myself together, but, oy, it is going to be a fight with myself all day long.2 -

I ended up eating a little more than I had really wanted to, but I kept it to mostly healthy and filling foods. I also had a really active day so it works out ok I guess. No binge!!2 -

It’s a great day! Lots of family visiting for a birthday weekend; they took over the day and we went to an amazing restaurant for dinner and shakes...I made sure to pause and drink lots of water, and then put down the food items and gauge my fulness/satisfyication, and breeeeeeeeathe. It was a struggle, but I was able to do it! 😄😄😄 Brought some gum to keep my mouth busy and drank lots of water, and focused on the people around me instead of the food. I don’t know how I did it, but I’m so grateful I made it through a tough day and it was fun! Wish me luck for the rest of my weekend and good luck to everyone else with your own weekends!1 -

A couple of good days where I decided I should eat a little more (still under calorie target) to see if it stops me craving a mass of food later on in the evening, so far it seems to have helped!1 -

It was super touch and go yesterday, and similar story today. Tomorrow is the weekend, and that's also a trigger. I am trying.1 -
Incredible @lamlam2013! Can you give us some of your tips to on how to make it 84 days binge free?
One day at a time. A few years ago I had made it a year, but when I lost my weight, I started eating foods that triggered me to binge and ended up regaining my weight and then some. Very few of my clothes fit me, so that has been motivating me to not binge. When I feel the urge to binge, I stop and remind myself that I don't want to regain weight and have tight-fitting clothes.
I know that when I reach my weight goal again the urge will be there, but I have found a facebook group on binge eaters and overeaters anonymous has helped me. I haven't gone to any OA meetings yet but plan to when my dad goes home (he's been staying with us while he rehabs from a minor stroke).1 -

Friday and Saturday were both full on binge days. I feel so gross and disappointed in myself. Didn't binge on Sunday, and the pattern of work should keep me in healthy routines. I am hoping this isn't going to keep going.1 -

Please don’t feel like you need to read the following, it’s just my healing in process.
This weekend was crazzzzzy and lots and lots of eating entailed. I did a lot of research for nutritional value on the food items beforehand, but I couldn’t find anything, so I decided not to stress about it. I decided to just eat healthy, and also allow myself to eat whatever else I wanted. I completely let myself have freedom to whatever I was hungry for, at any time of the day.
And it seemed to help me progress in new little ways. I did have some slight over-eatings, but I was more aware and present in my eating and of my body talking, and it’s satisfied, “I don’t want any more”cues. I would actually walk away, drink water, breathe and find something else to do. I was impressed because every night, I would go to bed not stuffed (for 6 years, that’s unheard of for me!), and of course, I’d wake up the next morning slightly swollen, and a little bit bigger than the previous day, but it wasn’t like I did so as a totally whole new, formless person, some zillions pounds heavier. I also discovered that I love me more, I’m not beating myself up, and I am less conscious about what others are thinking. I am being super, super nice to me and I guess as a reward or effect, it’s taking less pressure and pain to eat “normally.” I’m still miles away from perfect, but I celebrate the little steps i have made and celebrate you and your’s past, present and future.
We got this team! 1 -
I love that @57discovery! You do have this @Llamapants86, just look away and keep going.0
