    so far this month...
    ME: 7
    BED: 0

    i had a slice of cheesecake today though. now i feel guilty as if i've binged when i know that's only 300 extra calories instead of the usual 3000+ binges i have. why do i still feel like *kitten*?!

    I often have this problem too. IMO it is because our illnesses aren't about food, they are about our behavior. It takes practice to stop feeling guilty about indulging.

    At home and out and about running errands for convention. Had some binge behaviors going despite not being hungry. Not too bad but can not count it as a ME day, but I have had much worse days. I did fight it and made some good strides but I did not win today. There is always tomorrow.

    Yesterday I did binge, but not as much as usual so I am trying not to beat myself up too bad. Today was a better day.

    yesterday was one of my 4000 cal binges in the evening. toast, cereal, steamed buns, brownies and shortbread. then ordered a chinese. ate till i couldn't move, and really wanted to purge (i have never purged ever) but the feeling was so uncomfortable. was frustrated that i gained 2 pounds from eating a lil more than the week before but still 1400-2000 a day which i should tecnically lose on.
    another binge i feel is coming today. im thinking 'fresh start monday, new week'. this is probably wrong

    Darn it, meant to check back at the begining of June to see if you were re-starting...now I am not sure of my tally. So I guess I will start out today and keep going. We had gone camping and that is BAD for my eating. But on the way home my hubby and I had a conversation that our camping trips have just turned into eating free-for-alls and that has got to stop. Next camping trip is scheduled for the 4th, so we will see how we prep for that one.

    Weekends are always a struggle for me, and this past one was no exception. I am determined to plan better and do better next weekend.

    was off work today and at home and tried to use copy skills to fight off urges to binge but was unsuccessful. Tomorrow is another day! Still ahead so I am winning the battle so far this month.

    That is all we can do Mary when we have a bad weekend. Weekends are the toughest time for many of us with BED. I try to stay busy but this is not always possible. Keep up the good work checking in.

    I blew it yesterday and knew I was eating to stuff my feelings but did it anyway. I told myself in the moment that it wasn't so bad but it was and today I feel miserable about myself. I just planned my food for today and am going to do my best to stick with my plan. I have heard that we can't think our way into right acting, but we can act our way into right thinking. Today I am going to do the right actions and watch for some positive effects in my thinking.
