Recover after binge advice?
Hi all. New to this, only really took the step toward trying to lose weight this week. First few days fine, but hitting the weekend means a lack of routine for me. Binged this morning and want to stop it continuing all day/limit the damage? Any advice?

Getting home from work binge
This goes back to my school days – whenever I got home I would eat and zone out in front of the TV. Now as a teacher, I do the same thing. What do you do when you get home from work?

Life beyond food??!

I have given up sugar for months at a time but this last time I decided life IS pale without it. And I tend to overeat no matter what food it is so I might…
