Thanks kommodervan and saramarie. I've been very fatigued today and ended up eating more food in the first half of the day than the second half. So far I feel satisfied and content and have about 200 calories spare. I am so hoping not to splurge tonight!

Thank you :)

Thanks smence :) I don't really feel like doing another workout at 830 pm though although perhaps I could do yoga or stretches.

I think you have my age wrong. :) I'm 50. But yes I probably am a little harsh on myself with my calorie allowance but that's because I know I will end up binging every 4th night! I know it's a vicious cycle. I'm so glad I exercise frequently otherwise I would be a lot heavier.

Thank you. :)

Thanks sc487. Before I joined this site I had estimated that I needed to consume about 1400 calories per day to maintain my weight at 55 kg (I am in Australia hence the decimal) and after joining it seems correct. However because I am exercising on average about 50 minutes per day at 250 calories per day it can be about…

I don't really account calories for a high day. I'm not sure about this. I just want to stay at size Australian 6-8 which I think is American 4-6? I know I could actually be a bit heavier according to the charts but 121 is my fighting weight and it's what I feel and look best at. :)

Hi osocourtney and thank you for replying. I guess I don't really stop enough to think WHY I am wanting to binge -= it just seems like the right thing to do at the time because I am genuinely wanting to eat those foods. I would so love to be able to stop and analyse and discuss with someone and prevent it -- that is why I…

You sound very disciplined and organised allyphoe! Perhaps I should try and record and flag my days too. This site is great as I feel obligated to enter every food I eat into it but it still doesn't stop me from overeating! I can go all day and still be within my calorie limit and then have a big blowout at about 830 pm. :(

Hi sc487 - I kind of eat semi-what-I-want most days but limit myself to about 1400 calories (trying to maintain 121 lbs at 5'5"). I guess it's by the 3rd or 4th evening that I really want to binge because yes I have deprived myself of a lot of my favourite snacks like chips, cheese and crackers, chocolates, icecreams etc.…

Hi ydyms, no I have never heard of Geneen Roth but I have just googled her and the Women Food and God book looks very interesting. Thank you. :)

Did anyone reach their May goals? I'm rolling mine over to June. :) (I've decided to decrease my goal weight to 119 lb so it gives me a little leeway.) June 2 = 122 lb.

Thanks sstrack and Doit4 :) What kind of meal plan did you start sstrack? I wish I could just binge once only a month -- it's more like 12 times a month lately though! :(

Binge eating can be devastating. At the time you are enjoying feasting (albeit most times guiltily) on your favourite foods but then a few hours later, post binge remorse sets in and you're berating yourself badly. My worst times occur around 8-9 pm in the evenings, not even when I'm particularly hungry as I eat healthy,…

Yes, yoga and pilates can really assist with that long, lean, sleek look rather than the squatter, bulkier, shorter look. I mix up my exercises a lot although cardio daily but then either medium weights or pilates for strength. Oh, and I'm trying to lose probably about 2-4 lb, depending on what day I get weighed and how…

Almost your twin perhaps? Height: 5'5" CW: 121 lb (fluctuates -/+ 5 lb on a daily basis though :( ) GW: 121 lb I'm also very, very determined and working hard! But, no, you're not the oldest on here. Age: 50 until September. :)

Hi, I'm trying to keep fit and healthy but need motivation sometimes. Goals for May (and the rest of my life too!): Maintain current weight. Maintain current exercise @ 45-60 mins daily. Cease binge eating every 4-5 nights! I crave sweets, savouries, carbs and proteins and eat nearly a whole day's calories in one evening,…

50 yo 5'5" Weight: 120- 125 fluctuates Fat: 21% Muscle: 47.9% Goal weight and to maintain: 121 max Goal fat: 20% Goal muscle: at least 50% May 21 - weight 122.4 :( (too scared to look at fat level as binge last night on pizza, fruit loaf and icecream :( )

I too really need the accountability as I often binge eat and then suffer post binge remorse and berate myself the next day. However I'm not trying to lose weight, just maintain my current weight. Am I still eligible to join? I hope so! (Realises it starts tomorrow.)
