    I almost posted on this thread, yesterday, that I was successful, again. But, then... thought. Wait until tomorrow because that is only fair.

    Now, I'm glad that I waitied...

    After I totaled out my log... late night just before bed. I binged! Argghh! Why? I think it is because I didn't like my dinner, so didn't eat as much as planned & didn't find something else to eat... kept procrastinating on that. Then, started mindless snacking just before I went to sleep while I was on the computer. I wasn't horrible, but still added on 280 more calories. It was 2 kinds of potato chips.

    Couldn't even make it 2 days!

    So, I am trying, again! New start, right! Not giving up yet!

    Hey Linda,

    That's not even a binge! What a good logger you were! Girl, 280 ain't nothin'. That is perfectly within control. good job.

    I stop binge for at least 2 months now by allow myself to have up 2 meals a week.
    So if you eat something off you diet list, you feel no guilt.
    I used to feel guilty because 1) I screw up the diet by just ate 1 chocolate cookie, so I ended up ate the whole bag.
    2) Stress-Use food to release my angy and stress. Now release them by exercise, meditation, and yell real loud, write down to my journal, prefer to skip a meal than eat in anger.
    This week goal: 5 more days go down to 181.6 (3 mores lb).

    if i absolutely am craving something i cant take anymore of saying no to then i plan on having it and incorporate it in to my daily plan.. better yet sometimes i make myself do an extra half hour on the cardios so i can really have it guilt free .. i call them cheat meals and i allow myself that luxury if im in dire straights about it ..good luck and keep on moving forward!!!!

    i LOVE the idea of this :) day by day! i haven't binged yet this month so that feels great :) i've figured out what a lot of my triggers are which helps, also if i don't have the food in my house in the first place and surround myself with healthy snacks that is so helpful. seems obvious but i know most of the food that i'm not able to practice moderation with so for right now it's easier for me to just not have them :) haha, anyway i'll definitely be back here!

    wow, i was totally the same way - i'd convince myself, "oh well, i've already started, doesn't matter at this point" when in actuality it really, really does. i feel like i've had to totally transform my relationship with food, and this is reeeally a process! good luck with your goals this week :)

    i'm in also. I started yesterday. I am sort of doing my own elimination diet. Mainly from sweets, bad carbs (ie pastries, sugared coffee, etc), and diet soda. I also started back adding veggies to my diet. I might say, OH MY, my stomach hurts! :( I hope I can get used to it. I haven't worked out lately either, I find excuses after excuse to not go...its really hard when its so cold outside!

    I definitely need to work on this! I want to get rid of this habit for good! It's so nice to know that I am not alone in this and that there are so many of you who are working towards the same thing.
    I have been working REALLY hard the past few days on being more of an intuitive eater...trying to really pay attention to if I am feeling hungry or just have the desire to eat.
