    I am so proud of myself because I have done really well this week! I have been under my calories every day! I am definitely an emotional eater, and it is usually when I am upset/stressed about something that I decide "oh screw it" and start eating crap non-stop. This week I have been trying REALLY hard to pay attention to when my body is actually hungry vs. just having the desire to eat. It definitely takes a conscious effort...I've had to stop and think quite a few times and find other things to do when I just wanted to eat. I'm still allowing myself to have treats and foods that I love, I'm just trying to do it in moderation, while staying under my calories, so I don't feel "deprived" and binge. Right now it really takes a lot of thought and effort, but I'm hoping that eventually it will become second nature.

    Update:

    well, so far in the 7 days of january, I have only had 1 binge day (but it was pretty bad LOL)

    I am proud of myself for getting right back on track the next day though!!! We can do this!

    I am going to try not to for the rest of the month... but even if I have two or three binge days / month of january .. that's still an improvement and that's what we are here for - improving ourselves and our health !!

    I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I'm thankful to say that I did well today. I had a cheeseburger and french fries for lunch, something that before would have led to my also having some chips, then some brownies, then some pizza, etc; however, this challenge motivated me to enjoy my lunch and to stop eating when I was satisfied. How nice to go an entire Saturday without getting bloated, gassy, greasy, and sick to my stomach. :sick:

    I'm totally a binge eater as well. I was doing great. Doing so well. Then ate 30 cream filled cookies. WTH? I've been exercising my butt off since that indiscretion. It's just emotional eating for me. Anxiety. So. I'm paying for my sins. I have been working my butt off today, and I still have about 500 calories to burn before I lay my head down on my pillow tonight.
