Feb 4 2013 Colleen 3 The Binge 0 Days finished logging 3 2013 stats: January 22/9 Last night was a close one! Went over my calories a twinge. But I weigh in tomorrow and I don't want to mess that up, so I stopped myself.

January 22/9 Feb 3 2013 Colleen 2 The Binge 0 Days finished logging 2 Went a little overboard with wine last night, but stayed within my limits. Hoping to keep a big fat ZERO in that second row, but like IceyRain said, I just want to keep things as balanced as possible. I'm going through a lot of emotions realizing who my…

January 31 2013 Colleen - 22 The Binge- 9 Days finished logging- 26 So, so proud! I think practicing good habits is paying off...I even went without anything sweet last night!!! Can't wait for February to beat my numbers. I couldn't have done this without you guys!!!

Hi, and welcome! One thing that helps for me is to record how I feel after I eat, both physically and emotionally. It helps to see how I felt after my last binge and makes me less likely to do it again. Not only that, but it really makes me "in tune" with my body. I also try to keep my workouts moderate and consistent...I…

January 30 2013 Colleen - 21 The Binge- 9 Days finished logging- 25 As some of my friends on here might know, I watched the Biggest Loser last night. It made me want to binge hardcore. A couple of my friends on here and FB agreed with me that it triggers something in them. So weird! I immediately switched to something…

January 29 2013 Colleen - 20 The Binge- 9 Days finished logging- 24 I love that I am whooping December's butt!!

January 28 2013 Colleen - 19 The Binge- 9 Days finished logging- 23 Went to a WW meeting last night. It was a little overwhelming, especially since I have a bit of a rebellious streak. I had to fight the urge to shout "Don't tell me how to organize my fridge, lady, I lost 50 pounds last year!" But since I haven't kept ALL…

January 27 2013 Colleen - 18 The Binge- 9 Days finished logging- 22 Much better yesterday. I got my co-worker and cousin to join WW with me, so that's really given me motivation! I drank a lot of herbal tea yesterday, that helped a lot, too. I gotta admit, I was pretty hungry by the end of the day since I'm so used to…

January 26 2013 Colleen - 17 The Binge- 9 Days finished logging- 21 Rough weekend. I hope to finish the month with more non-binge days! Today I decided that I need more accountability and joined Weight Watchers again. I need the in-person weigh-ins to give me accountability. At first I thought the group meeting thing made…

I've always loved Glenn since Season 1! I love most of the others too, but I think he's the only character that started out good and kept getting better and more valuable to the group.

January 24 2013 Colleen - 17 The Binge- 7 Days finished logging- 20 Sometimes it is just so hard to stop at night!!! Went over by a little but was able to stop it.

January 23 2013 Colleen - 16 The Binge- 7 Days finished logging- 19 Was really good at distracting myself yesterday. :smile:

January 22 2013 Colleen - 15 The Binge- 7 Days finished logging- 18 Yesterday was great. I felt like I had a lot more energy than usual. I also took a cue from a few of my friends and started giving myself just a calorie for exercise...I always use exercising as an excuse to overeat. I believe in eating workout calories if…

Thanks!! I just have to keep pressing on. I am making some changes to save time and make my life a little less stressful, and that has been helping tremendously. January 21 2013 Colleen - 14 The Binge- 7 Days finished logging- 17 The eating BEHAVIOR wasn't too out of control yesterday, just large and very calorically dense…

January 20 2013 Colleen - 14 The Binge- 6 Days finished logging- 16 Yesterday was so unnecessary....there were the same circumstances that cause me to binge over and over again. I just have to learn from them.

January 19 2013 Colleen - 14 The Binge- 5 Days finished logging- 16 I'm going to have to call it a binge....went WAY over and ate a lot of crap. Just didn't have the energy to prepare healthier things. Bad excuse, I know. But I am feeling much better today, so onward and upward!!!

January 17 2013 Colleen - 14 The Binge- 4 Days finished logging- 16 Another situation where I would have been under had I worked out, but I still feel like crap. :-( ETA: Physically feeling like crap because I am sick, not emotionally beating myself up :-)

January 17 2013 Colleen - 13 The Binge- 4 Days finished logging- 15 Over by 100cal again yesterday, but stopped again. Wouldn't have gone over if I had worked out, but I think I am coming down with a cold. Hopefully not the flu :frown: So it'll be walking workouts for me until I get over this thing. I've tried working out…

I have the worst of both worlds...I binge if I'm feeling lazy and haven't worked out, and then I am also prone to a binge after working out because a) I feel like I "earned" it, even though that is total idiocy and b) working out can just plain increase my appetite! I found that doing regular, moderate workouts as opposed…

:noway: I'd put him on a "nutrition plan" to eat *kitten*. I think you're perfectly capable of making your own decisions about your eating, and I'm glad you are starting to see that you are worth so much more than this loser.

January 16 2013 Colleen - 12 The Binge- 4 Days finished logging- 14 Wasn't really an emotional binge last night, just lazy and thought I was comfortable because I'd been binge-free for a couple days. But I still had a workout to offset a little bit. Moving on...

January 15 2013 Colleen - 12 The Binge- 3 Days finished logging- 13 Over by 100cal yesterday, but was able to stop myself. So I'm not calling "binge" for yesterday. :-) And I ate LOTS of veggies!!! I'm sick of buying healthy food and throwing it all away because I let it go bad.

I'll have to refer back to this thread when I have another episode! OP I am glad the urge passed for you :)

Well, I suppose you'll have to live alone, then. What if you have roommates that bring home junk food? Or an SO? Or when co-workers bring in junk to the workplace (which happens a lot)? Unfortunately, you just have to learn to deal. The world doesn't stop just because I'm eating differently.

January 14 2013 Colleen - 11 The Binge- 3 Days finished logging- 12 Much better today! I had a great workout yesterday and pre-made healthy lunches for the rest of the week.

I was considering getting implants for a long time. The one thing that stopped me was having kids in the future. I'm not talking just about breastfeeding...I know that several women with implants were able to breastfeed with no problems. But I wasn't about to shell out thousands of dollars for a procedure when I knew that…

January 13 2013 Colleen - 10 The Binge- 3 Days finished logging- 11 Yesterday could have been way worse, but I still had call it a binge. :-(

January 12 2013 Colleen - 10 The Binge- 2 Days finished logging- 11 Ugh, yesterday was a rookie mistake. I had a big lunch, so when we went over to our friend's house to hang out last night, I figured I'd be ok without dinner. Nope. I got hungry and ended up bingeing on some snacks at my friend's house. It was mostly out…

Thank you for the suggestions!! I should treat myself to a nice "girly" movie and get my fiance out of the house! Lol January 11 2013 Colleen - 10 The Binge- 1 Days finished logging- 10 Last night I was actually too tired to stay up and eat more! I only had two glasses of wine and those made me sleeeeepy. Haha. Its pretty…

The important part is that you stopped! I had just a tiny bit of a trigger food yesterday and that was enough to turn me psycho. I recorded how badly I felt (physically and emotionally) after eating it, and that helped me to stop eating more. Sometimes I find it's even harder to stop once I start versus not starting at…
