Soooo, I've made a decision...........I turn 30 in two and a half months :grumble: I've NEVER been able to reach my goal weight due to my binging. I always seem to be gaining and losing the same few lbs, but I want to challenge myself and use my birth date as the motivation and impetus I need to stop the binge in its…

Thanks for the support!

You can do it!

Doing better since the 25th. However, I can't take the binge out of my head. I keep thinking it's not fair that I can't eat what I want like I did over the weekend, which was over 2000cals/day. Once I've binged, it's hard to get it out of my mind! I've been trying to tell myself that it IS fair to be trying to eat healthy…

Finally defeated the binge yesterday! I'm confident I can end the month with no more binging......... Me: 22 Binge: 4 (11/3, 11/23, 11/24, 11/25)

I had done so great on Thanksgiving day and then, for whatever reason, I just didn't care anymore. But I sure do care today! I'm so mad at allowing myself to have 3 days of binging in a row. Now, instead of doing better than the previous months, I'm at the same amt. of binge days as the last two months. I will end this…

Well, what can I say about yesterday...:/. I was doing so well until dinner. It wasn't the worst binge but I was in the binge mindset. I'm upset that I ate that way but I'm glad it was only during one meal and then I told myself no more food! I even went out last night and after, my friends and I went to a restaurant. I…

I did not binge on Thanksgiving! That's the first time in who knows how long. I did go over my calories for maintenance but I was mindful about what I was eating. There was even a pt in the day where my bf got a 2nd full plate of food and asked me if i wanted some. That is where I've always given in and eaten about 500-700…

Love that advice! I needed to hear this as I'm already feeling guilty about what I may eat tomorrow :/. Like you said, it's all about balance and is only a couple days out of the year. I will no longer feel guilty and will enjoy what I'm going to eat for Thanksgiving. Have a great day!

That's an awesome feat to be able to go out to eat and take leftovers home! You can and will beat both! My thoughts and prayers are with you as you continue to fight the Big C and Big B. :flowerforyou:
-
Well, so far I have done pretty well this week. I only work 1/2 day today and will be using most of that free time at the gym today. I don't know if I'll have a chance to go to the gym the rest of the week because I might go out of town Fri. My goal for Thanksgiving and the rest of the weekend is to eat at maintenance and…
-
I'm trying to work out as much as I can all week, even going to the gym twice Wednesday. I'm hoping to eat one plate of turkey and sides and one small piece of pie. Of course, I'll be drinking (rum&diet coke) during the Cowboys/Redskins game. If I get hungry again toward the end of the day, I'm going to have one little…

Wow! That's awesome!

Pre-planning has been helping me as well. Like Mollie, I try to put in my meals in for the day but when they don't go as planned, I see what I had planned before and use that to force me to stay as close to the amt. of calories I had originally planned to have.
-
You can beat this binge! Do not let the binge scare you. Gather up the strength that you do have and make this the day you get back on track. You will feel so much better once you kick the binge's A**!!
-
Did not binge this weekend! I even shared a high calorie meal last night with the bf and didn't eat anymore than that. I went over my calorie limit for the day (which usually triggers a binge) but I thought about how well I was doing for the weekend and didn't want to ruin all that hard work. It's the first time since…
-
I've been busy all weekend which has helped keep the binge in control. I'm waiting on a friend to pick me up and there are some cookies on the kitchen counter yelling at me so instead of grabbing them, I came on here. The binge will not defeat me! As of 11/17 Me:15 Binge: 1

Your day is not over....ok, so you had you had too much to eat. Now stop it in its track and continue your day without being so negative on yourself. We are all humans; we fail at times, but we CAN and WILL get back on track. Maybe the rest of the day eat healthier and make yourself do a little workout. Like you said in…
-
I don't necessarily feel sleepy after a binge; I feel lethargic, lazy, and a little depressed for allowing myself to eat that way. I usually lay down the rest of the day because I feel terrible after a binge. Sometimes I fall asleep and sometimes I don't, but after eating too much, I don't want to do anything because I'm…

As of Nov. 16, Me: 14 Binge: 1(11-3) I will not let the binge win this weekend, I will not let the binge win this weekend, I will not let the binge win this weekend............

Ugh, what a frustrating morning. I felt your annoyance reading this post about your morn. My mind tells me the same thing when I've had a couple of weeks between binges, but then I find myself trying to lose the couple lbs I gained during those binges (for me pretty much every two weeks). Congrats on not letting the binge…

Soup, preferably chicken caldo or menudo and lots and lots of water!

Good for you! Such a great attitude....and yes, you do deserve it. BTW, Good Morning :smile: Hope everyone has a great, binge free day!

Years ago, I use to binge about every two days but would hardly eat anything between those binges. Ever since overcoming anorexia, I have slowly worked on beating the binge. It has taken me a loooong time to get to every two weeks, but I think you're right, it will continue to decrease over time. I look forward to…

I had the huge urge to binge last night. Using this thread, I've realized I binge about every two weeks. Well, it's been almost two weeks since I last binged. Last night, I fought back by going to bed and watching tv never going back into the kitchen. I brought a greek yogurt for breakfast to work this morning, but that…

Oh Bless you, sweetie! I was where you are almost 10 years ago. At 5'2," I got down to 108lbs by hardly eating anything and doing cardio like crazy. It's true; I lost so much muscle mass and got to the pt where anything I ate caused weight gain due to my metabolism slowing down so drastically. I gained and gained w/o much…

As of Nov. 14, Me: 12 Binge: 1 (11/3) Getting nervous about Thanksgiving food. Don't get me wrong; I am very thankful I will have Thursday -Sunday off and will be able to spend all this time with the ones I love, BUT the ones I love sure do know how to cook lol!!

I did great this weekend, finally! No binges since the 3rd :happy: Me: 10 Binge: 1

At my job, we have to get lab work and our waist & weight measured every year. I'm proud to say that within a year, I have lost an inch around my waist and weigh around the same (I weigh 1/2lb less this year lol) as I did this time last year. Looks like I'm doing pretty great maintaining this healthy lifestyle. :smile:
