Tomorrow I'm hoping to go for a nice walk if the weather allows! Also planning on getting into the pool for a little swim friday with a friend...its been a loooooong time since i've been swimming!
I'm a big girl, and have a long way to go. I am not following a specific food plan, but I do go to Overeaters Anonymous, and have been binge-free for 5 months next monday! So I track my food and do the best I can every day
I am trying not to fixate on the physical recovery, and percentage weight loss is hard for me, because I am over 330lb so it doesn't look like I have lost much percentage wise, but weight wise I have, if that makes sense..... But, I'll just plod along one day, one meal at a time!
Looking forward to weigh in on wednesday already!!
@littleflutterby Binge free for 5 months is an awesome accomplishment, congrats!!!
Do you find overeaters helpful? I've wanted to go but haven't yet. I'm a binge/emotional eater myself.

@jwall309 - I'm encouraged by your post in that I also am trying to find a balance. I have a problem of once indulging, then I overdo it big time!. So I have to find my way to moderation and to figure out how to handle triggers, better. Here's to your next three days of being back on track and healthy.
@Tomkinsone - Great plan! So far the best way for me to handle dinner is to plate it in the morning. Then if I want what he has made, first use MFP app to alter it. I'm still getting back into my good habits!
@veggieonly - Nice loss!
@JammyPea - Never fun to see the scales stay the same, but always better than a gain. Is there an NSV that you had for the week?
@j0d13mcc - I like the 10 minutes of breathing and mindfulness. Nice! Great me time.
@ChattyCrafty - Way to make the scales move!
@Toyota100 - Good day. Sometimes that is as far as our focus can be and that is all right.
@ajaia2001 - Nice Monday! Awesome hour of exercise.
Daily Post (Monday 4/01)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes, (under 39 cals)
Exercise: Yes, 50 mins. (3 min stretch, 12 min in Gazelle, 15 min march in place while washing dishes, 20 min walk)
Daily Goals: 4 personal points~ ACHIEVED for mindset with morning affirmations and improve my night routine/habits to stop after dinner binges. Dinner I plated and wrapped this morning as meal prep for the day, and out of habit I plopped on the couch. Halfway through, I realized I wasn't at the table. That’s why I am working on my night routine. But!! I didn’t eat mindlesly. Now the KITCHEN IS CLOSED. Tea is in hand and off to bed to keep reading; then read.

I'm a binge eater too! Oh my gosh we are a family!!!! Yesterday was my day 1 of no mindless eating. Today is almost over and I'm almost about to have a two day victory!
@tgale Congratulations on 5months being binge free! That is a great accomplishment coming and that's coming from a binge eater too. I wonder if they have any meeting in my area for binge eating. Please, tell us more about how you found binge eating meetings in your area?

Exercise: yes. Zombies, Run couch to 5K week 1, day 1; Zombies, Run! episode
Daily goal: To stay on plan tomorrow, and get some walking in out in the park while the sun is out1 -
@jwall309, yes me too. I don't know how to find my happy medium. If I have one chip I don't know how to stop. It even intensifies if I'm stressed. I don't know how to enjoy small portions and be satisfied.
I too have a long history of binge eating. I have absolutely no ability to eat one of my trigger foods in a proper portion. I haven’t binged since the first week of January but it involved me going to a psychiatrist and getting my anxiety under control and also seeing a therapist. What ended up being really key for me in managing my binge eating was to manage my anxiety first.

@Toyota100 Oh I'm not binge free at all and I've never been to a meeting. I was commenting and asking @littleflutterby about her experience...she's been binge free for 5 months and does meetings!
I was doing pretty good with moderation the first half of last year, but have been all over the place since

@johick In the middle and end of every month I do a dry fast. I dont eat or drink for 16-18 hours. This is because I do body measurements then and dont want anything to throw off these measurments. The weeks after are always a little lower on the weight loss. Im happy so far this year because ive loss everyweek....... SO FAR lol. Im sure it will slow down her soon because im geeting closer to goal weight. Got a trip to clearwater Florida July2 so will be hitting it hard these next 3 months.0

I completely forgot my weigh-in day here was on Mondays! I weigh everyday and was involved in a few challenges all with different weigh days, lol. Oops. Luckily April starts fresh and this is the only challenge I'm in now.

First my confession….I posted my Monday’s results, too soon. I had some emotions that I thought I had worked through (towards hubby), but I guess not. I found myself eating the fatty/carby food that he brought home for “him.” It was more than just that. But I took a drive before I got home to have extra breathing time. Then sat down with tea and planned on how to have one piece. I thought I had it licked. I heard myself say “I don’t care” as he was passed out in bed. So I’m learning to recognize that trigger. I may not knock it out of the park this week or next, but I’m going to work on it. In my morning affirmation, I read something that helped me. I will post the picture after this post. So. I am being honest with you and most importantly with myself. And that’s part of the battle, right? So I will chalk that up to a “cheat day” and move past it trying to learn from it and not beat myself up.
@Tomkinsone - I like encouraging, as for me its a win-win (I hope.) But there will be some days I will have to know my time limit and not be able to.
@Toyota100 - 2 days of no binging. Yeah! And I'm with you, @jwall309, and @Fitgirllife72 on trying to enjoy a food w/o making it 20!
@Fitgirllife72 - thanks for sharing about getting anxiety under control first. Sometimes what I feel is petty and I need to just deal with it. I am not anxious, just controlling. So it makes it hard for me to "let loose." What's weird, is even though I'm a control freak... I have a hard time controlling what goes in my mouth. So, learning to control what I can first is where I need to start.
@MaelynMayhem - Your exercise is exciting. I hope you go to enjoy a walk in the sun.
@Jactop - woohoooo 1# gone!
@tlgale - Thanks again for being a great captain! WE CAN get back under control. This group is going to help keep us focused.
@Longshore - close to goal is exciting!! (& for me scary, how to maintain!?) I look forward to reading more about how you reach your goal and learn maintenance. 3 months to Florida... yeah!!
@Claresmith13 - Inhale, exhaaaaaale. Today is a new day and this week is new too. You can do it. We're here for you!
@LilyGrace -Nice Monday. 18# since March 1. And great weekly loss, too. Awesome. Keep on keeping it off.
Have a good day @RunTrackMinds!! Stay focused.

@johicks @Toyota100 Mindful eating has definitely been a process for me so far. But one thing I've learned is that I am a "fog eater" meaning I will just mindlessly, unconsciously eat whatever is in front of me without even tasting it or realizing how much I've put into my mouth. So to combat that I measure out however many servings of my snack fits into my budget in the kitchen, put the snack away, and then bring my servings into the living room. Because I have also learned that after a long work day I am incredibly lazy and will just not want to get up to get more to snack on even if the craving is there
Obviously this doesn't really combat emotional or stress eating, which is something I'm also learning to cope with, but it helps with the daily battle with overeating.
I'm also not sure if publicly admitting how lazy I am is great but I'm learning to also be kinder to myself and after 12 hours out of the house every day its probably ok that I don't want to get off the couch once I'm settled. Constantly reminding myself its a marathon not a sprint, and a lifestyle change, so not every day is going to be perfect! 4 -
Hi everyone! Glad to be here! My name is Riley. I'm 28 and currently work full time as a medical assistant, but I am currently a nursing student set to graduate Spring 2021. I already have a degree in music but I found there wasn't really anything I wanted to do with it, so I've decided to get into the medical field, which I've been in for almost 5 years now (didn't commit to getting my RN until last year, though). I hope to one day get my Masters. My dream job is to be a CNM (certified nurse midwife) and join a practice or start my own. I've slowly come to the realization that there's no way I can stand around and tell a pregnant woman she's gained too much weight, or tell a woman who has come to me with plans of trying for a baby that she should lose weight first, when my own weight is out of control. We've all seen hypocritical doctors hand out advice they can't follow themselves and I do not want to join the fray. So about 2 years ago, I was 60# heavier than I am now. I lost 30 in about 6 months back in 2017. Then I fell off the bandwagon and stayed the same weight for over a year, which I'm pretty ashamed of. So I started back up at the end of January this year and have since managed to shed another 30#. I still have at least 50-60 more I want to lose, though, so I'm hopefully in this for the long run. This last week has been difficult with my eating habits getting a bit crazy, but I'm buckling down and doing my best to hold myself accountable. My boyfriend is super skinny but he's never once told me I'm fat, which I'm grateful for. I know that I'm the biggest girl he's ever been with, but he's been with me for 55 of the 60# I've lost and has been my cheerleader through it all. I want to make myself proud and make him proud by losing the excess weight.5
