This challenge is too restrictive and unrealistic. I keep on failing after ten days because I'm too restrictive - I must eat this much protein, I can't eat too many carbs, I can't, I can't, I can't. I just end up eating stuff that doesn't satisfy me until it all gets too much and I just binge. I never used to have this…

This should be a lot easier over the summer holidays as I can nap and I shouldn't be as stressed. But I'm a new teacher so really I may be rather stressed planning lessons and trying to get myself ready :/

Day 6. Again. Almost binged on some homemade bread, but went to the gym instead.

Why does this always seem to get so hard after day 10? This is just so ridiculous. I've gone 60 days before. I've probably gone longer before. But I just can't seem to break this habit right now :(

Day 10 complete. Not eating as few calories as before. Having 1500 net.

I only ate meat twice this week. Was going to make a curry for the week but I don't feel like eating meat. I normally eat chicken or fish once a day, which is still less than most, but I think I want to change to every other day.

DAY 6: Exercise is better again but still harder than it should be. On another note, I discovered chai latte and malt loaf. Yum.

As is evident from my absence from this thread, I messed up pretty badly and felt embarrassed so I ran off lol. But I'm back again on day 4 of my third try :( I'm going to join an athletics club. Having that twice a week will give me something to do in the evening and hopefully deter me from bingeing as I wouldn't want it…

@R_Queenie So odd that you mention it being hard to make friends in adulthood - I don't remember mentioning my struggle with friendships. But yeah I have really struggled with social anxiety and that has been the main cause of my depression. And my depression exacerbated my binge eating problem. I have been taking St…

Feeling very sad and tearful again today. Thanks, that's nice :) great job on your progress. But careful about using exercise to earn more calories to eat - you don't wanna start pushing yourself too hard to burn extra calories or you'll hurt your body.

DAY 1: Back to square one. I did go 10 days without having any junk, which is longer than I've gone in a long time, but I want to succeed on my 60 day challenge. I don't want any fail days. I want 60 days straight of no junk and no binges, so I'm trying again.

Well, I truly failed and had a fully-fledged binge today - wiping out all of my deficit from the week :/ But one thing I can say is that it was harder on my belly to eat so much - maybe because I still tried to take my time eating instead of eating quickly like I usually do. This will probably get better once I start at my…

DAY 12: Feeling really sad today. As a result I've already eaten 1350 calories and have been up (out of bed) for only 3 hours.

No cravings tonight so nicely off to bed. Weekends are actually easier than weekdays for me - no surprise as I'm always complaining about how bored and annoyed I get at work.

Whenever I'm not in such a good place with my SO I really get the overwhelming urge to overeat. I 'binged' on a pack of gum - satisfied my need to finish a pack of something without too many calories.

You're welcome :) A lot of the time when I eat more than I wanted it is also done with no one looking lol.

DAY 11: My main goal is not to give in to any junk food - sweets in particular. And, so far, I have achieved that. I hate that sugar has such a hold over me :'(

I need to just go to sleep. I can't stop thinking about pizza :s

Still haven't eaten any junk. Picked up a pack of biscuits but put them down. Was looking up pizza delivery but abandoned it. I seem to get extra down around my time of the month which makes it harder to stay on track. Tomorrow and Sunday will be good days.

Feeling to eat, but it's too early. I'm quite tired so maybe I will have a nap when I get home.

DAY 10: Man I savoured my protein porridge this morning. Yum yum. And my 9bar. It does help to take your time as much as possible when eating.

Thanks joeykay. I just find it almost impossible to not binge once I have the taste of junk in my mouth. I can't just have one chocolate bar or a few biscuits. So then I just avoid it. I will try, after, to incorporate a whole pack of biscuits into my calories occasionally but it will have to be eaten as slowly as possible…

Average calories for the week should be good. Although I'm trying not to think about weight too much, I hope I am less than 72kg at the start of next week... For now, I'm having a fruity tea before bed B)

I did P90X Yoga X today. I went so long without doing this dvd because I was so concerned about burning calories - I felt I'd rather spend less than 90 minutes burning more calories than do yoga - but this dvd really is so great. It is great for muscular endurance, balance, flexibility...it just makes you feel good. Much…

Looking forward to dinner tonight :) I don't feel hungry and I'm not craving anything...even though I'm sitting around watching a boring tennis match.

I weigh 72.4kg today That's great. It feels good to know my thread is helping you. Your post has motivated me too - when I woke up this morning I was thinking of deserting this thread lol.

DAY 9: Normally after a binge I will just continue messing up for the week but I need to just get back on track. I still didn't really overeat and at least I didn't have junk - but that doesnt excuse it and I don't want it to happen again. *sigh*

*sigh* I ended day 8 with a little binge :( I was going to bed but felt like I wanted to eat something. I told myself that I wasn't hungry so I shouldn't eat, but then another side of me said that it wouldn't be a problem to just have some prunes as I was low on calories anyway. Once I got the taste of food in my mouth I…

Gosh this boredom thing and this breath thing combined is just a nightmare! Lol

DAY 8: Yum yum protein shake.
