    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.

    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 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.

    Yea! That is awesome! Glad you are doing so well, it seems like you are in a good place right now! Hope you have a great day!!

    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!! :smile:

    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 :heart: :heart:

    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. Richie

    Welcome Richie!

    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!

    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 Richie

    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.

    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!

    Well after two good weeks, I had a binge last night. Fortunately I didn't eat anything too bad, but I sure did eat a lot of it. I've got some food baby action going today with one very big and bloated belly and my tummy has been rumbling in outrage all night. Richie, I will be joining you with trying to flush out the system today! It amazes me how I used to eat like this so often and didn't notice how bad I felt after, I guess I must have been used to it.

    I know what you mean. Really just need to get all this holiday junk out of my house....Leave tomorrow and will prepare the feast at my son's , I'll be busy all day with tons of food around.....I won't binge and it won't occur to me.....I think it is the alone time especially if the TV is on. two triggers....evenings are the toughest.
