    This thread is getting long - IMO, we should start a new one for the new month, but what do I know.

    I'm going to make the commitment that Diane did - this month, I am committing to finishing my diary no matter what!! I seem to do much better when I do.

    I'm also not counting days. For me, it's not helpful.

    I'm glad to see you all doing so well! Let's have a great Monday!

    Good goal GG!! You can do it!!

    Thanks again for helping to hold me accountable. Yes, I will be filling out my diary again every single day for the month of June no matter what. It really did help in May. There were at least 5 times that it was a real struggle to fill it out and I know I would have just said screw it if I hadn't made the goal. My diary is open to my friends. I welcome new friends, especially those who struggle w/ BED.

    I really want to say that I am in. Well, I am in. The binge monster in me is fighting though.
    Ill take it one day at a time.... so TODAY I will not binge. Thats a big step at this point.
    I will check back in tomorrow!


    I am with you!!! We can do this

    You can do it Mary!!! It helps looking at ED as a person because for us it really is. I learned this in an ED program I attended last year and I talk to my ED all the times now because I am stronger than my ED. We are strong than our ED!:flowerforyou:

    I had my first binge of June yesterday :-(
    Cravings setting in big time today (they always do after a binge the day before) so I'm hoping I can resist the temptation to continue it.

    June so far:

    Binge - 1

    Since June 1:

    Me: 3
    Ed: 2

    Last night was a struggle but I managed to keep myself busy and made it through without bingeing. My husband and I had a healthy dinner together and then stopped at our bank, which is located in a grocery store. As soon as we walked into the store my mind started racing thinking about the different foods I could buy even though I had just had dinner and was full. I'm glad my husband was with me. We went right to the frozen fruit section and got what we needed, paid for it and left. I woke up this morning and had thoughts of bingeing again, but so far I have been able to avoid doing so. I planned my food for today and then found out my husband has to work late so my plan for dinner will not work. I will be home alone after work for a little while so I am going to pre-plan what I am going to eat on my own and pray that I can stick to it.

    Happy hump day!!!

    @ Kelbelzz - Excellent!

    @ priorm123 - Just forget about yesterday and do your best to get back on track. You are right though, once you start binging it is harder the next not to have urges to continue to binge.

    @ MJ7910 - Excellent!!

    @ marylommis - Grocery stores are not good for me either. I usually save me some calories for the grocery store and comit to buy only one extra item if any that is not on my list. This has helped me not to binge most times when in the store. Since I am trying to keep fresh fruit/veggies I end up going at least twice a week or more. I agree it always help when you are in the store with someone else too. Plan for tonight and you will be fine.

    Sending positive thoughts and vibes your way peeps!!! One day at a time!! :flowerforyou:
