I know it won't always be smooth. I actually wish it wasn't easy so far...I need to prove to myself that I can do this when it's tough. Like you have!! You rock!! :)
-
You're awesome, Isabel!! You can absolutely do this!!!!! No doubt. :)
-
It feels sooo wonderful!!! And wasn't that hard. I know I can keep it up.
-
No, I don't. I really don't think there's anymore to it that I really enjoy food. And eating is fun for me. So when I'm sittIng around the house bored I start snacking. It's something to do...then once I taste that crap I dont want to stop...it's fun!
-
ahh...yes...i didn't think of the way greater number of reps.
-
why, though, would grip be an issue for hack and not deadlift??? I'd imagine you could do a alternate grip on hacks, too?? can't imagine hack weight ever being more than deadlifts??? hmmm...i'll have to do some research.
-
Thanks! For me at least, also no room for one. I workout in my kitchen. Lol!! We have a tiny row home in Baltimore with a dark dirt outdoor entrance basement. BUUUUT...I'm all about no excuses, so I found lifts that will work for me! I will keep this link for the future though. We don't plan to live here forever.

Goals for the month...great idea! wednesday and today I did: hack squat - 75 bench - 60 dead - 85 OHP - 55 rows - 55 march goals: hack squat - 100 (!!!!) bench - 75 dead - 115 OHP - 65 rows - 65 What do you think??? That'll put me through week 11. Are these reasonable??
-
I lift at home and don't have a squat rack, so I do hack squats instead (started with front squats but it got too hard to get the weight up for each set). They are absolutely working for me!! They did take a while to get used to...I did lots of practice with form, but I think I've got it now.

Yes, I drink enough water. I don't track it, but I drink iced coffee with almond milk in the morning and have one diet soda for "dessert" in the evening. Other than that, I only drink water...and I drink all day long.

Me: 24 Binge: 4 Binge free: 12 days I feel great about this!! I'm in a good place and hope to continue. Although we all know the real work starts when we AREN'T in a good place...and there's no telling when or why that "bad" eating place happens. I feel like I've got a plan in place so hopefully when it happens, I will win.

Boredom!!!!! Also, it's just really fun to sit in front of the TV and munch away. Once I get started, the food just tastes so yummy that I want more and more. Someone else said this, can't remember who...but, eating would definitely be my hobby if it didn't make me gain weight. :)
-
I agree completely. While I understand that for some, having NO trigger foods might make them seem forbidden. But if they really trigger a binge...then, they should be forbidden. I'm much more successful NEVER eating even one goldfish cracker, b/c I know it will trigger a binge. Done. Just like if I was an alcoholic....I…

That's AWESOME!! You did it!! :)

I'm very fortunate that I haven't had many hardships in my life. The hardest things I've had to do were to put my dog of 15 years to sleep...taking her to the vet that last time and holding her while she died, and then leaving her body there...well, now I'm tearing up. SO HARD. Also returning to work after having my 2…

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! During a REAL binge attack (you're right...the munchies are stopped using these methods) I don't WANT to stop. I want to eat yummy food. I decide that my body is great the way it is and I really do not care that I will feel like crap afterwards. I am happy right then and so excited for all the yummy food…

Me - 22 Binge - 4 Binge free for 10 days. Graelwyn, I am a MESS at my mom's house!!!! I don't know if it's because I feel so "homey" there or what, but I eat like a freaking HORSE!! My mom is also my best eating and drinking buddy...all one of us has to do is just mention a bottle or wine or ANY food and the other one…
-
Haha! Hi, Kates!! :) Graelwyn, you're in the SL group, too, aren't you?? I'm on week 7.
-
honestly, i'm pretty much always happy. except for after a binge. wow...i've NEVER realized that before. if that's not enough to NOT BINGE i don't know what is. why would i want to do that to myself??? i just hate the feeling of food taking over me. no control, no caring about my health or about my happiness.
-
no, that's true...that IS life, not a binge. there is definitely a difference. that's not just something you tell yourself.
-
I'm new and just reading over this thread. You all are doing such amazing jobs!!! Keep it up!! I'm here for any of you when you need me. Friend me if you'd like. I can relate so much to the wondering if these feelings will last forever. Are we ever "cured"?

Me: 21 Binge: 4 Days binge free - 9 Hello! I also introduced myself in a post, but I'm new and am SO THANKFUL to have found this group. It looks active, too...which is just what i need. Please feel free to friend me! So far, this is the best I've ever done with binging. I feel like maybe I'm actually getting this…
-
hmmm, maybe i'm not answering the question correctly, but...honestly, i think i inspire myself. i do things for myself now, which took a while after having kids...to remember that i am an actual person and am not soley defined by my family. so i don't mean to sound arrogant saying i inspire myself, but i do feel that i…

One week in!!! Awesome!! My kids (6 and 3) and husband make me happy. Hearing them laughing together when they play is the best. And my husband and I just have fun together, laughing and acting stupid. It's nice to be able to be 100% yourself with someone.

It always takes me 3-4 runs to get used to new shoes. It's always my calves and shins that hurt but then magically it goes away. :)

evening. always evening. usually after dinner, but every once and a while before dinner. if it happens before dinner...look out...it's gonna be a doozy b/c once i start i only stop b/c i go to bed. so before dinner = looooooong binge. and almost always when my routine has been thrown off...weekends, events that have…

i don't have any fear foods. not sure why i don't fear the foods i binge on (i still think quite highly of them b/c they are so yummy, haha). but maybe that's GOOD that i'm not afraid of them????
-
"bowl of chocolate chips and a spoonful(s) right out of the jar of peanut butter and dip it in the chips and eat it." i'm really glad i never thought of that. that sounds amazing.
-
my main trigger foods are chocolate, salty snacks (goldfish and pretzels especially), and soft gooey bread. if i eat soft gooey yummy delicious bread then i crave bad stuff for the rest of the day. it is not worth it!!! and i LOVE to alternate between sweet and salty...that's what i do when i binge. just go back and forth.…
