I ate very very clean. Always had perfectly balanced macros and meals at the same time. 120 oz water. Very low carb except oatmeal in the am. Bootcamp and weight lifting 6 days a week. No dressinng, no creamer or any condiments. Just plain whole food with salt free spices, water, black coffee and tea. No fake sweeteners or…

Binge eating is really hard to handle on your own. I say try a meeting of over eaters anonymous if it get really out of hand. Awesome, supportive non threatening people going through the same as you. It's an addiction so sometimes what we know we should do, grab fruit and exercise, isn't what we will do in a moment of…

I am shocked how unsupportive people are being. Yes, she and I could seek professional help. We are not dumb and know that's an option. The idea is that she is recognizing a pattern and asking what "you" do when strong urges come on. This is supposed to be a supportive community. It doesn't matter the op's size or history.…

Megan 40 Needing to lose 15 pounds Vancouver, wa

Me: 1 LNS 0 It was really hard to get one day under my belt. I hope it gets easier.

Can I join this challenge even if it is mid way in October?

I had a bad one last night. I had nothing sweet in the house and it's like I can't go to bed without having a sweet treat. So I decided at 10:30 to go to the store and get some diet sweet treats. A box of 12 fudge pops, a pint of low calorie and low fat ice cream, sugar free syrup and diet hot cocoa. Well it started out as…

You could just discuss your behaviors on here. I feel like talking about it takes the power out of whatever behavior it is and let's me look at it in an analytical way instead of a judging way.

Ka we have similar goals. My problems are night eating which can turn into binges and bulemia. I've had two great nights. Looking forward to a third!!! Glad you are posting here.

I can definitely over eat popcorn. It's one of my trigger foods.

It does seem like we are the most active on here. I am finding the support tremendously helpful. Maybe I'll add a link from another forum to see if others warn to join. Right now I'm getting g ready for my first instructor training for an exercise class. A little nervous. I'm going to rock it though! I'll let everyone know…

That is a great goal. I find being moderate is much harder. I did great last night on my night eating. I tried a new strategy that worked. I kept a tiny amount of snap peas by my bed and I did wake up once and want to eat so I had sap peas. Then I fell right back to sleep. I'm so so happy. This issue has been very…

Nice work nony. I love nice grocery stores! :)

It's all a journey and progress. It's slow, but I'll take every little bit of recovery I can get.

I talked with my nutritionist and we came up with a few things. 1. Don't have my trigger foods in the house for a while. 2. Have regular check in with her before I go to sleep, even it that means midnight. 3. She wants me to pick a goal, an athletic goal that will help me think twice before eating unhealthy. I thought that…

I totally agree with the being unprepared statement. Good call.

I feel it's also when I convince myself that "I don't have an ED" and that it's okay to be a little relaxed about eating things that I know trigger me. I tell myself "you can just have a little." Wrooooong!!! Yes, that would be a goal, but as of right now, it's not working. Go away tricky little ED voice, I don't like…

Guys I need help!!! I can't or have not been able to stop my night eating for more than two days straight. I have some suspicions as to what triggers it. Tell me what you think. 1. I only feel like eating when I get home. I have trouble stopping after dinner. Even though I'm full and have eaten what my nutritionist says, I…

39 CW: 110 GW: 107

Megan, 39 from Vancouver, Wa. I'm trying to maintain and build muscle. I work with a nutritionist. My hardest part of the day is night eating.

I have this night time thing. I just want comfort food. I think its hard for me to wind down after a long day. I'm not hungry and don't think about food the whole day. I'm so busy teaching and everything and am zooming all over all day. At night I finally sit down and my food monster comes out. lol

My goals are going pretty well. I'm about to settle own for another night of sleep and no eating!!! Thanks everyone for the great daily chats. It really helps to talk to those who understand.

I hate slipping or falling. It feels so weird as an adult and kind of scary. Hope you didn't hurt yourself too bad. Lime and black pepper? Those sound amazing!!! I just bought black pepper popcorn and was surprised at how good it was. I like that strategy of planning for the munchies. I'll keep that in mind.

I love that Alskarani. I kind of confused what I want. I want to have the freedom from my mind to not think about food and exercise all day, but I can't let go of the image that I strive to live up to and keep. Every time I loosen up, I go overboard in the opposite direction. To be honest, moderation is hardest. I've…

This is weird, but diet hot cocoa powder. I love to eat it dry. It tastes like a spoonful of chocolate frosting.

Do you think the ones that you go half way down are ineffective for hitting the glutes? Those are pretty much the only ones they use in the classes at 24 hour fitness. I didn't even know there were ones all the way to the ground.

I love cocoa powder to with stevia, but recently changed to carob powder because it has no caffeine.

I looooove those classes!!

Sometimes I can eat two packs of gum throughout a movie. When it loses its flavor I get a few new pieces.
