Today is a new day and this is a new week!! Let's move forward and forgive ourselves for the mistakes we made last week! This is the hardest thing for me-I am such an all or nothing person! If I do not do things perfectly then I say to heck with it! I am really trying to control my negative thinking and stay away from negative people who just want to bring me down! I must have supportive people around me who care about my well being!So let's support each other on this journey and Move Forward!!:bigsmile:
Good luck everyone!! Sending ((HUGS)) your way!:flowerforyou:

I am totally on board with this. New week, back on track!
I know that I can do it. I have done it before. Time to remember that I am the one in control and not my ED.0 -

Okay, you guys are helping me get out my funk I've just started to get myself in tonight! I will control this and not let a stressful day trigger me into a bad night!0

Here's to us! Let's do it! We can! You all are great and I have faith in each of you! Now, I've got to apply that to myself! 0

Glad to see you back!! I hope you had a great trip!
I need to apply the faith to myself as well! That is what I am working on!
Hope you have a great week! :happy:

I did manage to stay on track and glad you did too! I think I'm starting to realize that I channel my work stress into other areas of my life so I stay very calm and collected there, but completely overreact to mundane everyday things and those overreactions are what trigger all of my bad eating patterns. Not sure quite what I can do about that, something to ponder I suppose.0

A new week indeed. And hopefully a turnaround (she says, hoping she's not tempting fate). I've had a month of unadulterated overeating, though I wouldn't say bingeing. And for sure the exercise, even though I do a fair bit of it, hasn't kept my weight stable, but I dread to think what it'd be if I weren't! But yesterday and today have been good, and I feel much more in control. Long may that continue as the out-of-control-ness of the last month has been soul-destroying!0

Okay, back on track so far after very ugly binge/purge episodes yesterday. How is it going for everyone else?0
-
i've been binging but managing to keep it within my calorie levels. Still makes me feel bad. Sucks how emotions are attached to food.0
-
even emotions like boredom can make us overeat! strange, huh!0
-
No binge today! Woot! But a little over calories--but still, no binge! And that's probably the first no binge day in two weeks for me.0
-
I am having a pretty good week so far. I am off work today and really talking to my ED. I am not going to let it control me. I am stronger than it. So far no binging and I have to go out this evening so that will help me today. Hope you all are having a good day today.0

Whoohooo!!! Awesome!0 -
Glad to see it looks like everyone is having a pretty good week so far! I am also doing pretty well, had a little bit of a stress eating mishap last night but not too bad.
Mollie, I like the idea of talking to your ED (mentioned in another thread as well). I have not tried the third person approach and I think I will give that a go next time.0 -
Hello my name is Richie and I am a binge eater. .....Since joning mfp I am doing better. I still stumble but it seems like my binges don't last as long and I have lost weight. I thank you Mollie for asking me to join this thread. Richie0

Glad to hear everyone's week is going well so far. And Richie, welcome to the group! I just joined as well.
I also have not binged this week. I think it's because I'm taking a new approach to weight loss. I realized that I was restricting my eating too much during the week, and getting hung up on the numbers on the scale. As a result, I was binging on the weekends and undoing most of my work during the week. It's a frustrating cycle that only makes me feel bad about myself.
This week, I'm focusing on eating healthy foods in moderation and working out, but not so much on counting calories. I'm also not weighing myself. I know that weight loss will be much slower this way, but it was slow the other way, too, because I ended up binging so much. I'm only three days into this experiment, so we'll see how it works out this weekend, but I'm optimistic!0 -

That is awesome!! Congrats! We learn to really appreciate the BF days!! I had a bad day yesterday, but I am really going to try hard to get back on track today!

Keep us posted on how it goes. I am the same way, I weigh too much! It is hard not to, and when I do good for a few days I can totally undo everything in just a couple of days! Good luck and we are in this together!! Hope you have a good day!!

Congrats on keeping under control!! That is awesome! I like the idea of talking to our ED, I need to try that as well! Have a good rest of your week!!

I had a bad day yesterday, there is way to much drama going on in my life right now, I am just trying to hang in there. I am going to start treating my disorder as a third person, maybe that will help, I hate being an emotional eater!
Thanks Dana for starting this group, it helps being able to vent and having the support from those who know what I am going through!
((HUGS)) to all and I hope each of you have a great day!!

I had a bad day yesterday too. I was off work but when I am at home around the house it is very hard not to graze or snack. I did not do too bad but still what I claim a binge day. My ED program has us classifying any eating that we consider uncontrolled eating as a binge. So I was definitely out of control yesterday.
Today is another day!
Hugs

Welcome Richie!0 -
Mollie and Crystal - I'm so sorry to hear you both had bad days yesterday. One thing I'm thinking of trying is to log in here and post the next time I feel a binge coming on. Maybe you could try that next time? I'm thinking the distraction and pausing to really think about what I'm doing might help me resist the urge. Hugs to both of you!0

Thank you and that is a good idea, I have got to get some control because I feel so out of control!! :grumble:

:flowerforyou: You knowweekends are my worse time. I think I will leave the computer on and try it too. Hope it will help. Getting ready for the family and making all their favorites adds to the problem. In the past when I have finished a big cooking project, I just eat......to reward myself......such stinkin thinkin. :explode: I will stop, and chat with you guys first . Hugs Richie0

Boy I was just thinking the same thing this morning about getting ready for the holiday! This next week is going to be a tough one. Overall my week has gone well, but weekends tend to be my downfall also so I'll be in here too.0
-
Well yesterday I did recover and today I am off work again, so I am planning better today. I agree with all comments on weekends. My weekends start Friday evening so I am preparing for no binges starting tonight.
Have a good weekend!0
