I accept your challenge! I want to write down and log everything I eat for an entire month and not binge. That includes my 30th brithday which is Friday, and a wedding I have to go to on Friday as well. I want to learn to enjoy the specail days and not go crazy or overeat because I'm having a bad day or feeling down.

I lost 110lbs 3 years ago and felt amazing, but due to binge eating I'm way back up there in my weight because I can't control my emotional eating. Food is like my crack!!!

Thanks for posting this challenge, it's nice to know we are not alone and the support and understanding really helps!

One of my amazing students baked me cookies for my birthday!! AHHHHHH but I'm going to give every one away but one and count it in my food log! Hopefully tomorrow it will be me: 2 binge 0 :bigsmile:
Me: 1
Binge: 0

Great job to all of you! Well I made it through yesterday without bingeing and I can do it again today.

My goal for today: No bingeing at work. I can't eat even one of my binge foods because it never stops at one. I brought healthy snacks to work today (well, healthier than my binge foods) but really I'm trying to work on the root of why I eat at work. My biggest triggers are not wanting to do something I have to do (happens at work) and boredom (also happens at work, not for a lack of work really but being bored with it). So I'm trying to work on doing things other than eating when these situations arise.

Happy Friday everyone! May we all have a great day!

Happy Friday!

I am going to join you all starting today. I have been on a binge/overeating couple of weeks. To the tune of 10 pound weight gain. Today I finally got on the scale to see the damage. Now that I see the damage to ME, I am done. So I will use this challenge to get back on track. Since I binged the last 3 days I am going to count from May 15th forward.

Maybe if I do this before the weekend and plan to keep busy I will have a binge free weekend. :ohwell: I already know I am going to the gym tomorrow evening since I know when I have nothing to do on weekends I can tie one on. Have cleaning, missionary work for the day time but evenings are the worse for me. Weekend evenings in particular.

Have a good weekend!:flowerforyou: One day at a time

This has been a tough week for me...just overeating and bingeing. I really think it has a lot to do with TOM, anyone else feel this way? I'm starving this week on the same food I always eat that usually satisfy me! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop overeating during this week? I'm going crazy and can't stop eating..not emotionally, but actual hunger! Not a good combination.

I've recently found that eating protein rich foods and staying away from sweets has helped me a lot. I'm just not able to control myself when it comes to cakes and chocolate so I know that when I don't have them around, then I'm not going to binge on them.

I suggest you try eating more protein and add more vegetables and fruits to your diet. Sure they have calories too but eating a big bowl of those things is way less damaging than eating a whole box of chocolates. It's those initial few weeks that are the hardest and I personally feel that after a while you find yourself not wanting to eat as much anymore. The body needs that kind of like a detox

Well last night was not as bad as it has been in past and no fast foods or sweets but still had to count it as a binge night.
