    Y’all are right it never gets easier in the big perspective, but some days are definitely easier than others, for me at least. Sunday & Monday were awful but these past two days haven’t been nearly as big a struggle.

    @hillmike56 Thanks! I'll definitely be looking into it! Yesterday I made an appointment with a psychologist that specializes in eating disorders. Will see her later this month.

    @Llamapants86 I'm afraid of not being able to focus on losing weight because I really need to and my doctor wants me to and I don't want to let him down. But at the same time, I know that I have to get this under control. Thank you for your support.

    @aishmartin sounds like a great approach @fitatelo stay strong your doing great @Nevadaden great to see you back here

    I had one of those screwed up emotional days that lead to a BINGE last night after being so focused in April. Disappointing but an Instagram quote this morning and some time in my personal journal helped me I hope.

    The quote was this "THERE'S NO FAILURE ONLY FEEDBACK". After getting over being terribly pissed off at myself I realized that there were so many triggers that had gone off during my day and I just kind of glossed over them not dealing with them as they came up. Each culminating in that late night BINGE I approved of and know so well. But April still has a lot of opportunity and can it be a month where only ONE BINGE shows up. Sometimes I just drop out of the community when too many BINGES occur one is not that number. Hopefully I'm back tomorrow!

    Very close to a binge last night before going to bed, I ate some more (terrible idea) but I managed to keep my snack a snack. I was (and still am) overly full from it. But it is better than a binge.

    Last night was a tough call. But I have called it for the binge, even though it wasn’t as bad as it could have been, because it felt as if I could have kept going. In fact, I stopped not because of “brain over binge” or even because I finished the M and Ms, but because I was tired and went to bed!

    I don’t feel as bad this morning as I typically would. Back on the horse. Or the wagon. Or whatever metaphor works...

    Pretty close to a binge last night. Ate carelessly on auto-pilot to maintenance but I put down my fork midway of my meal and said I was satisfied. Officially out of the boot now, so happy the ankle is on the mend!

    Today was absolutely miserable and all I wanted was food to make myself feel better. But I calmed down and only had an extra 2.5 cookies because I spilled some of my dinner & it really was an awful day, so I figured I deserved it. But didn't even finish the 3rd cookie so I'm kind of proud.

    Had extra to eat today but I was able to stop myself when I realized I was getting full. Even though all I wanted was to finish my dessert I threw it out, which I absolutely hate doing but I really want to be able to enjoy food knowing I won't hurt myself in the process.
